Hello Mrs Green, don't panic! You will all do fine. In fact, you might find it easier that your husband and daughter is out of the house because it leaves you to controle the situation.

Here is a few tips:

Make sure you have the 3 babies and all you need on the same house plan. If the house is large you can move the refrigerator to the nursery section just for a couple days.

Try to have the 3 babies sleep at the same time. If they all got a crib they can stay in the crib even after they wake up, as long as they don't need a diaper change or food. Make sure you get some rest while the babies rest. By having them resting/sleeping on the same time is the only way you canget some rest too.

If you don't have 3 cribs, they can sleep on the floor, especially if its a single occasion, or if the nursery is small etc.

If the toddler is almost a child, you might be lucky to have it grow up one day early. Make sure it has some interesting and skill building toys that will keep it busy.

When feeding the babies, first give bottle to the baby, leave the bottle on the floor and call for the toddler who will drink what is left. Because you get another bottle for baby #2, the toddler will get enough from two bottles.

Remember that a baby will not die even if you need to leave it crying for 1 hour with dirty diapers or hungry. It is of course not a best thing to do, but with 3 babies I think you might not have a choice. Just deal with one of them at the time.

Good luck, and enjoy motherhood ;-)
