Congratulations. No more noble calling than parenthood IMO. You won't always get it right but you can always be trying to. All the best to you both!!

Congrats on the great news, esp. after trying for so long. Wishing everything goes smoothly for mom and babies. Let us know when they arrive.

We have one for our daughter, FYI you can save money by using a regular garbage bag and dropping the bag through the opening and then inserting bag holder thingy back on top. Those bags can get pricy but it does work well.

Wow, that's enough kids to call it a dayfrom the get-go.
The only drawback: no saving money by giving the younger one hand-me-downs 
Congratulations! Practice up on your reaction time for frequent and urgent errand-running before that 3rd trimester, you'll need some good cardio!

Oh yeah, congrats to the op. Kids are great

Wow, wow and wow. Congrats to you and your wife. Some good advice in this thread, especially getting some sleep I like the idea of a pamper party.

you should ask kenovette if you can be a beneficiary of his pay it forward thread, except you want the money in the currency of pampers.

I wish your family health and happiness.

Awesome feeling holding your child for the first time.
On a practical note, look up early potty training. It's amazingly easy to get them into potties very early (3-5 months). Saves you both the expense and the fun of changing #2 diapers.

Congrates, get sleep now. If your wife is breast feeding, prepair your self for a very unfreindly gesture from her every day. Help her out as much as you can. She is gonna need it.

This would be a good time to get "The Snip". Seems to me, whenever a couple has difficulty having kids, once they do, everything is primed-up for more!
Enjoy you freedom!!!!!!

Congratulations. As a father of 4. And twins in the middle. You and your wife are in for a lot of work. You hear people talk about that feeling when their child is born. You will get that 3x. Best feeling in the world.
Best wishes. Join the twin and triplets club. They do lots of activities and hold a few sales.

Congrats. We have three, not triplets but three none the less.
Knowing what I know today , I'd have had the grand kids first.

may I advise you to learn how to cook a decent family meal unless you want your mother in law to move in for a while. 3 little ones are going to be a 24/7 full time job for mom, and you are going to get run out of your shoes as well. having said that, you will be doing it with a smile. congratulations to you dad.
