What Are The Odds?
It struck me again just now how wonderfully lucky we are to be having tripets. Statistically (a quick Google tells me), conceiving triplets is a massive 4848 to 1 chance. Which would be amazing enough if it wasn’t for the fact that the chance of conceiving triplets naturally is almost twice that at 8100 to 1.
I guess it would be easy, after two miscarriages, to see something propitious about three babies coming along on J’s third pregnancy. But I don’t think there is. People get lucky sometimes. This is my time to be smiled upon by fortune. And, by god, am I ever smiling back.
