Trip the Light

So here I am, changed things up a bit and decided to start a new blog!

Why the name?
My blog is called Trip the Light as a play on many words, most obvious my triplets but also the "trip" it took to get here (4.5 years and 7 IVF's - if you so wish you can learn all about my trials and tribulations at my previous blog). I also often feel like Im in the dark when it comes to motherhood, as if the lights have tripped - after many years of infertility and then finding myself with 3 children I often find this overwhelming and finally it is not lost on me that I could be in a psychedelic trip, living in disbelief that Im finally a mother and also living with an exhaustion that oftentimes makes me think Im hallucinating...

My ground rules
My new blog is a place where I want to try and forget about infertility. I need, for my own sanity not to dwell on the past. I acknowledge where I came from but I need to divorce the past from my present.

I will talk about my triplets not by their real names but rather by names that we have given them here at home - Fat Cheeks, Banana Baby and Little Girl.

I will discuss parenting issues so if this is not what you are interested in please dont make my life a misery for it. I am damn proud of my girls and Im gonna say so.

So here I am dusting off the baby dust* and trying to make way to embrace motherhood.

*I promise to never use that term ever again
