我有一个独生子女，然后是双胞胎，然后是三胞胎，我记录下了我独特家庭的生活

My name is Lucia, and I have a unique story. My husband and I didn’t have plans for a big family. My first pregnancy, I had a baby boy. My second pregnancy, I had twin boys. Then, my surprise third pregnancy, I had triplet girls.

我的名字叫露西亚，我有一个独特的故事。我和我丈夫没有计划要一个大家庭。我第一次怀孕，生了个男孩。我第二次怀孕时，生了一对双胞胎男孩。然后，我意外的第三次怀孕，我有了三胞胎。

Life is busy but I just love my big family. This was never my life plan but now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love being a Mum.

生活是忙碌的，但我只是爱我的大家庭。这从来都不是我的人生计划，但现在，我不会有任何其他的方式。我喜欢当妈妈。

So first, we had our son, and we were so happy to have grown our family. Then, when we found out we were having twins, we were so shocked, we couldn’t stop laughing at the ultrasound office. Then, when we found out we were having triplets, we couldn’t speak. We just couldn’t comprehend it. It was so surreal. The triplets arrived at 35 weeks and life became super busy. Breastfeeding three babies was a big challenge, but we did it.

首先，我们有了儿子，我们很高兴让我们的家庭成长。后来，当我们发现自己怀了双胞胎时，我们非常震惊，忍不住笑了起来。然后，当我们发现我们有了三胞胎，我们不能说话。我们就是无法理解。太超现实了。三胞胎出生35周后，生活变得异常忙碌。母乳喂养三个婴儿是一个很大的挑战，但我们做到了。

Getting all six kids ready to go out took a long time. Preparation was the key. Luckily, I had my mum living close to us and she was able to help out. Also, allowing extra time when we went out in public, as everyone wants to talk to you when they see triplets and twins. The questions were sometimes very personal and very repetitive, but you can’t blame people for being so interested. Once I had a stranger ask if they could kiss one of my baby triplets. Also, typical questions like “Are they identical?”, “How do you manage?”, “Are they natural?”, “Did you know you were having triplets?” These questions came left, right and center… all the time.

让六个孩子都准备好出门花了很长时间。准备是关键。幸运的是，我妈妈住得离我们很近，她能帮忙。另外，当我们在公共场合的时候，允许有额外的时间，因为每个人看到三胞胎和双胞胎的时候都想和你聊天。这些问题有时非常私人，而且非常重复，但你不能责怪人们对这些问题如此感兴趣。有一次，一个陌生人问我是否可以亲吻我的三胞胎宝宝。还有一些典型的问题，比如“他们是一样的吗?”、“你是怎么做到的?”、“他们是天然的吗?”、“你知道你生了三胞胎吗?”“这些问题总是围绕着我们……

There was no me time in the early times, but I enjoyed going for a walk with the triplets in the pram, and boys on their bikes. It was my relaxation time. My triplet pram was awesome, but it was big… and no, it didn’t fit everywhere. I remember going to the zoo for the first time with all the kids, and we couldn’t fit through the gate. Luckily, we were able to use the staff delivery gate around the corner. You get used to such challenges.

早期我没有自己的时间，但我喜欢和三胞胎一起坐在婴儿车里散步，男孩们骑着自行车。这是我的放松时间。我的三联婴儿车很棒，但是它太大了……不，它不适合任何地方。我记得我第一次和所有的孩子去动物园，我们不能通过大门。幸运的是，我们能够使用拐角处的员工送货门。你会习惯这样的挑战。

Now, the kids are older, life is still busy, but different. I work part-time as a Photographer, and all the kids are at school. We still make time for family holidays which is our favorite thing to do. Spending time together exploring new places is what we look forward to the most.

现在，孩子们都长大了，生活仍然很忙碌，但有所不同。我兼职做摄影师，所有的孩子都在上学。我们仍然有时间和家人一起度假，这是我们最喜欢做的事情。花时间一起探索新的地方是我们最期待的。
