A teenager, the youngest in Britain to have triplets, spoke of her delight at getting used to the joys of family life.
Former Colbayns GCSE pupil 16-year-old Emma Burns, of Clacton, discovered she was expecting triplets when she went for a pre-natal check-up.
She said: "I was really shocked I was expecting triplets. I thought it can't be."
She met her partner Simon Bell, 24, at a friend's barbecue when he was working at a convenience store in Clacton's High Street.
The trio were born by emergency caesarean at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital at 32 weeks, two months ago.
Jake weighed 4lb 9oz and is now nearly 8lb, Cameron was 4lb 2oz at birth and is now nearly 7lb and sister Alexis was 3lb 9oz and is now 5.5lb.
Miss Burns said: "I'm just so overwhelmed by them because they are so lovely."
