Last one didn't work, so here it is again. triplets - need advice.

Hi, ladies. I'm Julia Brennan, the proud mom of three-year-old triplet girls! The lovely ladies just turned three about a month ago, and they are doing beautifully with learning and development, but we've recently had a slump. The girls have been acting very fussy and babyish over the last month, absolutely refusing any attempt I have tried to get them to participate in more "big girl" activities, responsibilities, and games. They are handling this differently, with Lydia, the oldest, most affected. The once-leader now fusses and cries at the smallest of upsets, negatively affecting her sisters. The middle child, Arabella, is doing okay, but she seems to be particularly sensitive to being left alone without her sisters and I, even when left with my husband, Todd (a huge slap in the face to him - he used to be her favorite)! The youngest, Fiona, is actually stepping up to be a bit more of a leader now that Lydia is falling apart all the time, but once she sees tears and shouts from Lydia and Arabella, its a full-on scene from all three of them. Honestly, I feel like a bad mom for saying this, but I'm tired of it and its become very embarrassing for my three once very well-behaved, polite young ladies to be acting like babies around other children and parents, even my friends. It certainly doesn't help that I'm in my second pregnancy with a girl due in late September. My body is changing, my hormones are crazy, and I don't have the energy or patience to deal with these antics from my little girls. Has anybody experienced this with triplets or multiples, or any children, and do you have advice for me? I'm needing to get this sorted before the new little princess arrives, probably in early September since doctors don't think I'll carry full term. HELP!

Thanks for any advice you have for me, moms and dads!
