L Valley couple get a triple treat

SALLY AND Russell
Wheatley got more than
they bargained for.

On Sept. 15, the Lynn Valley

~ couple became the proud parents
of not one but three babies —
Spencer, Trevor and Jillian.

An ultrasound test at 16 weeks
into Saily’s pregnancy indicated
triplets, which took the couple by

Mil. surprise. Russell’s family has sev-

eral sets of twins, but not triplets.

““We were shocked when we
found out I'd be having triplets,”
said Sally.

After delivery the triplets were
placed in an incubator at Lions
Gate Hospital for two weeks to
gain weight and strength.

They have since gained one
pound each. At birth Spencer
weighed 4.9 pounds, Trevor, the
smallest, at a mere 3.14 pounds,
and Jillian, 4.5 pounds.

The Wheatleys have had their
hands full with feedings, changing

diapers, and providing the triplets ©

with almost constant care. Both
Russell’s and Sally’s mothers have
been helping and other relatives
are busy taking turns, and a
diaper service keeps the kids dry
with 210 diapers a week.

Amazing. as it sounds Sally
manages to take a nap a day.

The Wheatleys have got a lot to
chalk up as history but what Sally
will remember the most about her
