On the Mic with Mike

Wow.......the triplets aren't even here and they've already had a profound impact on the Sella household.  On Monday we ventured down to Warren to purchase a mini-van.  Talk about an image change; from G6 to Montana.  Somehow, "Driving Excitement" isn't the first thing that crosses my mind for this Pontiac model.  I will say though, that the van has really grown on me.  Tons of room, a DVD system for Lindsay (and Dad), and seemingly every option available.  And thinking about it a bit more......driving a van with 4 kids may prove to be more exciting than originally thought.

My little girl is at it again..........seemingly growing up too fast for me to keep up.  I'll admit that there have been many times where I've said: "I can't wait until Lindsay is old enough to do such-and-such with me".  But, lately I'm finding myself a little bummed that she is growing up so quickly.  Just when I get used to her little quirks and mannerisms and think that I have her figured out, she breaks out something new to keep me on my toes.  Over the last two weeks she has cut 3 teeth and the fourth one is barely visible, and she has barely fussed over any of them.  I think she is just trying to act tough now that the Red Wings are back in action.  That's my little fan!  All-in-all, we're now settling in with the idea of triplets.  I have to admit that I was a bit freaked out at first.  Now I'm just envisioning how fun it will be.  Few people get the chance to experience raising triplets and I plan to make the most of it.  I'm sure it will be quite a challenge, but the reward is absolutely priceless.  After all, it is said: "One treasures most, that which he has worked hard for."  I can't wait!

We had our first ultrasound yesterday afternoon and were given the most unbelievable news.  We're having TRIPLETS!  We had joked a few times about twins, but I have to admit that triplets were not even considered.  Kinda makes you laugh when you look back at all of the trouble we had to go through to get Lindsay, and now we have three on the way without trying at all.  We're still a bit in shock, with mixed feelings of joy and fear.  It will be challenging, but I'm confident that Jill and I will do fine.  God has once again blessed us and has entrusted us with the care of three more of his precious little children.  Wow........that will make 4 children under 15 months!!  Game on!
