Dearest Diary,

This is a BIG NEWS DAY.

It all started when I was taking out the trash this afternoon. The school bus had just turned the corner, dropping off the kids, when I KNEW it was time for the baby’s arrival!

Poor Amaranth, he’d just gotten off the bus in time to see me go into labour.

"The babies!" I called, and all he could do was scream! It was raining, too! Oh, sweetness, looking back I feel so sorry for him! He was too shocked to even ring Flamingo Rose to let him know the baby was on its way!

Luckily, I had my cell phone and was able to make the call. Since we were hoping for twins, we decided to have the baby at the hospital this time. Flamingo Rose rushed home from work and took me there as soon as he was able!

And guess what? WE HAD TRIPLETS. Not one baby, not two babies, but THREE BABIES.

We now have three little girls; Watermelon Scoop, Sweet Pea Scoop and Hibiscus Scoop. That makes six children total! Flamingo and I are more than please. And guess what? Our little family is now complete!

Extremely exhausted, times three,
Marzipan Scoop

(Literally a basket of babies from the hospital)
