Focus on the Positives
Talking to the Houston Chronicle about some of the challenges of beginning to raise her six children with her husband, Lauren stated that the key to maintaining a positive outlook was patience. She said that it was important to take things one day at a time, and to remember that this stage of one’s child’s life is temporary, and to make the most of it while it lasts, instead of getting caught up in the fatigue and frustration that can come along with it.

Many of Lauren and David’s friends volunteered to help take care of the sextuplets, which was another huge help for the couple. Lauren also developed a system of shifts, where their friends could come to help feed and bathe the infants during the night, or bring dinner to Lauren and David, so that they didn’t have to worry about prepare food for themselves as well as for their children.
