Diapers Diapers Diapers. Keep her out of the poor house by helping her with diapers

The most helpful things were...

Family watching my DS while I was on bedrest and not having to send to out to a daycare for the first time at 2 yrs old...

Family helping with the babies after they were born so I could have alone time with my DS. He was never jealous of the babies and I think this is why...

Meals that people made me where I could just pop them in the oven and warm them up. I didnt have to cook a real meal fopr about 2 months after they were born...

Borrowing baby gear from others too was a big help. Esp. the crib, swing and boucny chair...

Wow! Good luck to her! I have a cousin who did IVF and now is expecting twins, so I will take all thie advice to help her too with the food and time out for her and DH.

First of all, Congrats to your niece. My boys are 20 months apart, I can't even begin to image 3 under 14 months old. Wow. All the power to her!!!

Yep- she is really going to have her hands full. She is married to a ball player who is gone days at a time with the team. Unfortunately, she is in PA while the rest of the family is here or CA. As far as I can see, she will definitely have to get some kind of nanny-type help (maybe my sister will move up there and be a live-in granny). Being so far away is frustrating... I can't help the way she needs most- an extra set of hands!

Congrats to your niece!!! Boy, she is going to be a busy Mom, I wish her the best of luck!!! Maybe someone(a family member)can go be with her for awhile, and help her out with the kiddos!!! Maybe friends and neighbors could lend a hand from time to time also!!!
