Your post was great, it brought tears to my ...Hey!<br /><br />Your post was great, it brought tears to my eyes. Andrew and I remember Johnny calling to see if we wanted to go for ice cream... I couldn't tell if you were about to tell us good news or bad news. I talked with Andrew and we assumed that it was twins. When you guys told us it was triplets we were shocked and so glad that all the babies were healthy. All we could think of was how your lives were about to change, but we knew that it was nothing you couldn't handle. We remembered Kelsey's speech at your wedding about your organization skills and realized that it was going to come in handy. You are such an inspiration. You are a great mother and I don't know how there is enough time in the day to do everything you do! Hope all is well and the boys are doing well (Johnny included). <br /><br />Amy and AndrewAmy and Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236680255097543499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-76458731682768620912010-05-04T07:37:15.391-07:002010-05-04T07:37:15.391-07:00Stac,

Just joking Kelsey.<br />When I found out we had been trying to get a hold of each other for a while as we were both going to tell eachother that we were pregnant. You beat me to it and then my news was just not really that exciting as you were having 3 I just started laughing! I think the funniest is when I told miki. His face was priceless. Even now when we go over and visit you guys him and Avery just sit quietly with a look of shock on their faces. I don't think Avery has ever been so quiet. I tell everyone about your family and how you are the only person I can imagine doing it. How you are baking everytime we go over, how we always leave with some sort of treat or gift that you have made.... everyone responds the same way "how does she have time for all of that". you and John are both amazing and have a beautiful family. I cannot wait to hear about all the adventures to come.Tricia, Miki, Avery, Carter & Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916773495396793166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-27459598272603860432010-05-02T11:17:15.471-07:002010-05-02T11:17:15.471-07:00Stacey and John,

I remember being numb, not believing it was happening and then having such fun going to tell Kelsey, Dad, Karen, Grandma and Grampa and experiencing their reactions. I remember thinking it was too much, but also thinking that if anyone could do it, it would be you and John.. . and I was right.

(It STILL sounds so funny just to say it), I started laughing, gasping, shrieking, and yelling at Mark "Stacey is having TRIPLETS!, 3!". He immedietly joined me and we just could not stop talking about how funny it was, how awesome it was, and how amazing it is to be a part of this family. And then also panicking of course (just a little) that this gene, a TRIPLET gene, is in OUR family! We joked for ages about our last visit to your place where we were haning out with you and John seeing all of the Baby stuff you had bought so far (for ONE baby!) and all the extra room you had left for John and his TV and games. And how of couse, none of this was likely to remain now that there were going to be FIVE Alexanders!<br /> We are incredibly happy for you guys, and the best part of our day is often looking at the happenings of your family. You are such an amazing mom, and John such an amazing Dad. Your kids are incredibly beautiful and they make us laugh every day even though we havent even met them yet.<br /> We can not WAIT to make it home to meet them (and of couse see you and John again!). LOVE YOU SO MUCH! (All 5 of you!, and of couse Bones). x x x x<br />Mark and ChristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-90233696931462766692010-04-30T04:48:52.646-07:002010-04-30T04:48:52.646-07:00Well Stacey I can not write down my actual first w...Well Stacey I can not write down my actual first words as this is intended for family viewing and reading. I can say that I was VERY suprised and extremely happy all at the same time. I remember starting to look for a fishing boat almost right away. I have a trip planned to go take them to Disneyland, Blue Jay game, Eskimo game (I will let you guys take them to an Oiler game). I have so much fun when I see them and they smile at their grampa. I love going on walks with them, watching them jolly jump even just wiggle around. Simply put they are the greatest grandsons (for now, Kelsey may add to the list some day) anyone could ever wish for. I love them all !!!<br /><br />GrampaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-31772788149959238422010-04-29T10:56:54.552-07:002010-04-29T10:56:54.552-07:00Stac...

I called you up and sure enough, you were busy growing the three boys. I was at that time sitting home with my preemie (ONE baby) and wondering how people do this without losing their mind. All the daily struggles and worries I had over ONE baby, and the excitement and joy in your voice was inspiring. I love every visit, blog entry and conversation with you about babies... you should write a book my friend! New moms need people like you in their lives.<br />Mandi and SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-7593565664195593012010-04-29T08:27:09.568-07:002010-04-29T08:27:09.568-07:00What a gorgeous story!! You made me cry, at work, ...What a gorgeous story!! You made me cry, at work, again...haha Wow Stac, I can't believe that was a year ago, in a way, it seems like yesterday. What a freaking great day that was! I remember I was so excited all morning because you were going to come straight from the ultrasound to tell me at work if I was having a niece or a nephew, when I got called that you were here, I ran (skipped) to the front, turned the corner and said "well, what is it? what is it?!" you said "Its a boy!" I was so happy for you both and jumped up and down, then you said "and another boy" and I was like "whaaaaat? shut up - oh my god oh my god oh my god" I was SO excited...I mean TWINS? no WAY! Then you said "and ANOTHER BOY" and I think I blacked out....like mom, my knees gave out, that has never happened to me before...wow, do you remember? bahhaha I kind of like stumbled into the corner and held onto the counter and I was crying and screaming and fighting for breath because I was LAUGHING SO HARD - all out of extreme excitement and pure happiness for you guys...right in the middle of the lobby and everyone was wondering what the heck was going on (Mandy always brings it up how she just sat in her receptionist area trying to give us a private family moment but could barely contain herself haha) I ran and hugged you and john and mom and we were all crying and laughing, it was such an amazing day - I will never forget it! Thank you both for that day and every day since - They are the three most amazing little boys, with the two most amazing parents! <br /><br />Sometimes I still laugh as hard as I did that first day when I see them or look at a picture, or just think about them! ok, maybe not AS hard, because I was hysterical, I would be in one of those pillow rooms by now if I laughed THAT hard everytime I thought about them!! but I laugh because I'm still in disbelief and I'm excited and I feel so lucky and so happy and I'm in awe and in LOVE... and maybe just a little bit crazy! <br /><br />LOVE YOU!<br /><br />From your sister<br /><br />Ps - I can't wait to read Dad's comment...hahahahahahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904723801785554238.post-90511746246897138642010-04-28T21:17:30.816-07:002010-04-28T21:17:30.816-07:00Dearest Stacey,

I couldn't believe it because I knew Dr. A did babies. I couldn't beleive she had quit and just when you needed her! I said, "Why? She does babies." You said "She doesn't do triplets." I had to pick my chin up off the floor. "TRIPLETS!" (Imagine the shriek) I have been bragging about them ever since. You and John have beautiful babies and I am so glad you share them with me.

What I do remember is you not telling me on the phone and that I HAD to come by to find out if it was and girl or boy. when I got to your houseand you told me there where 3 babies I thought you were joking until you unfolded the LONG ultrasound roll and then it was reality for me. I ran on the spot for a moment, screamed a little and then shed a few tears for you :) <br />John came by our house to tell Adam later that night. He know he needed proof so he brought the ultrasound pictures and they celebrated with a couple drinks!<br />Believe it or not Stac God only gives us what we can handle and you inspire me everyday with your patience and love...your boys are so lucky to have such wonderful parents.<br />Lv The Roth'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
