Alex Lewis, 34, from Essex, chronicles the ups and downs of the ‘t t’ and describes how he and his wife Charlotte, 32, continue to have “me time.” Alex was ѕᴜгргіѕed to discover that his wife Charlotte was expecting not one, but three children.
The couple had been attempting to conceive for three years, and after investing £8,000 on IVF, they believed their fantasy would become a reality.
However, upon learning that they were expecting triplets, doctors cautioned that they might not survive. Charlotte and Alex were given the option to abort two of their daughters so that the healthiest would have the greatest chance of survival, but they declined.
On April 6, identical twins Annabella Rose and Florence Violet were born, along with their sister Lottie Bluebell. Alex, a father of four, said, “Since the birth of our triplets, our lives have become a t t; we must nurse all three babies every four hours. We are very privileged to have three healthy daughters.
Three healthy daughters were born at 33 weeks and six days to parents who already had a son named Henry. At three weeks of age, Anabella Rose weighed 3lbs 5oz, Florence Violet weighed 4lbs 7oz, and Lottie Bluebell weighed 2lbs 14oz, and they were all allowed to go home.
Alex and Charlotte have contemplated having a second child.
Alex stated, “Last year, we decided to have two s t because we wanted to enhance our prospects of success. We never imagined, however, that one of them would become pregnant and bear three children. We have two identical twins and one non-identical child, the youngest of which is Lottie. Even though we already have four children, we plan to have one more within the next few years.
He stated, “We spend £50 per week on milk, £30 per week on diapers, and £50 per week on Gripe water and Colief for their colic. We wouldn’t alter a thing; I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.”
