My wife spent a few years on a message board for women with fertility problems. She and two of the other women on there got pregnant right around the same time, and the three babies are the results. All three were born within two weeks of each other, hence the shared birthday party.

I didn’t read the OP, just clicked on the link and immediately thought, “What? Who brings their babies to a party clad in just _diapers_? Jeez.” And \*then \*started looking at the other pictures and went
