Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have triplets? Do you wonder how parents of multiple manage their lives? MAGICAL MULTIPLE MOMENTS will answer specific questions such as, "How big should I expect a belly for three to get?" or "How much help will I need to keep everything together?" Julie Gillespie shares stories and bits of advice she collected on her website Triplettales.net from 250 moms and dads she either interviewed or surveyed. Over a five-year period she posted blogs and received feedback from other parents creating a well-rounded, candid picture of life with three or more kids at a time. Interwoven in the chapters are interviews from experts in such fields as sleep training, psychiatry, and exercise. Statistics created from the surveys answer questions Julie couldn't find in any of the literature on multiples such as "Is it common to separate children in school or keep them together?" As her children grew she chronicled each developmental phase. This book reflects her thoughts as well as those of the many other parents she interviewed.

This is a quick read with some useful info but overall there are other books that would be worth the time. Suggestions are given but information is not very detailed. This book felt disorganized and rushed and there were many spelling errors. It feels sort of unfinished.
I'm expecting triplets and have read every book on multiples I can get my hands on. Twins are heavily represented in most books with the occasional nod to triplets - but not this one. If you are expecting more than two this book is for you.
This book is a fantastic resource for any triplet mom/dad and even any higher order multiple parents out there. Julie Gillespie does an excellent job including her own personal story, while organizing the information she has gathered from other triplet parents including their thoughts and experiences. I enjoyed reading this book and was amazed at all of the statistical information the author had gathered. Wish I had found this book while pregnant with my own triplets!!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has or knows higher order multiples. It is a true delight to read!
I struggled to read this book because of disjointed formatting (although that very well may have been because I chose to purchase the digital version), and also because of errors in spelling and confusing sentence/chapter structure. It is filled with valuable information - no argument there - but it was hard for me to stay on track while reading it.
This is a book that I have given as a gift to expecting moms carrying multiples. The book provides excellent information and also provides some of the emotional support that these moms need. It is written from the heart.
I loved the book! Wish it would have been available when I was pregnant with my triplets. It is an excellent resource for any parents or expecting parents of multiples. I enjoyed reading all the stories! The statistics were also nicely put!
absolutely love the book...well written...great content...worth every penny...would recommend to anyone who is expecting multiples...five stars...go out and buy it!
If you're a new or expectant parent of multiples, especially higher order multiples, this is a must read! I wish this book had been around when my triplets were infants, that's for sure. You'll find exceptional advice from moms who have been there, done that and various experts in this book. Combine that with the stats collected by the author and you'll quickly see you're not alone on this journey and find great advice on how to navigate it!Even if your multiples are older, you'll likely enjoy reading and nodding along with the early chapters. The chapters on losing the baby weight and crazy stomach as well as what to do when your multiples are school age will likely be valuable to you as well.
