24 more hours till my doctors appoinment!!!!

I look forward to my doctor's appointments for two main reasons. First, I get to see the babies on the ultrasound and calm my worries. Second, I get out of the house and get to see the outside world!! It's our 20 week mark, yeah!!!! I'm nervous about tomorrow's appointment because I had a lot of bleeding yesterday, and then my side cramping last week. But like my friend told me, it's all in God's hands, and I'm doing everything right!! Just praying hard that our special babies are okay, healthy, and growing. This is a true miracle for Matt and I, and we are so excited and feel so blessed about our future family of 7!! (gotta include my furry babies, Cody and Duke)
Please God let tomorrow go great, and let Wednesday's high risk ulrasound go great!!

18 weeks & 4 days doctor appointment

After worrying for the past two weeks since my hospital visit, I finally got to go to the doctor today!! Aunt Shara and Grandpa Kidwiler came with us too. My cervix looks really good and all of the babies look wonderful. Baby "A" had a heartrate of 160, Baby "B" is 143, and Baby "C" is 153. All great!!!! What a blessing!! Baby C is for sure a girl and Baby B is a boy, and baby A is a mystery.. a nice suprise!! Everything looked good on me, and we will get my swab results back in 2 days.. I hope the infection is gone. I will keep on resting and keeping the babies safe. I have to wear tight circulation medical hose to help the circulation (duh) and we always joke that Cody (my dog) needs them too, because he lays right by me day and night. 15 days until my next appt. and 16 days until the long high risk ultrasound!! I can't wait!! Thank you God for keeping the babies safe!!!! I will get pictures up soon.. my belly is getting big!!

feeling bad.. worried

Okay tonight I have had a lot of pelvic cramping and bleeding. I can't wait to go to the doctor tomorrow. I am so worried about the babies. That's all I do is worry and think. Maybe I should have taken more classes this semester.. but I only needed one to graduate.

God, please bless our babies and let all three of them be safe and healthy inside me!! Please let tomorrow's visit go good. Thank you God!!

Cody & Duke

So bored on bedrest and I feel so bad for my babies Cody & Duke. We use to go on long walks everyday and I think we are all missing that!! They are probably wondering whats wrong with me!!

Crazy week

On Tuesday, January 26 we had some issues. I sat down to eat my dinner and felt a lot of blood come out of me, then went to the bathroom where I could not leave because of the bleeding. I called my doctor and she had me go to the emergency room. We were so worried and scared for the babies and had no clue what was going on. I thought they were all gone, and just kept praying. They did bloodwork, and other test, then a long ultrasound. We had to wait forever for the doctors to read the ultrasound, and they wanted me to lay in the bed and rest and not get up for anything. Poor Matt had to sleep on this little bitty fold out bed thing they have, and my mom went home for the night. Finally at 7 Am my doctor came in with results and it looked like Baby "A" was having problems, that maybe her water had broke, or the placenta had a tear. So they ran more test that day, and at 1PM we had the High Risk Ultrasound with the UT doctors again. So scared!!!! Great results for the babies though. All the heartrates and placentas looked good. However, Baby "A", her placenta is sitting right next to and rubbing against my cervix. She needs to move upward in the Uterus. This is called Placenta Previa, and it's why I have been bleeding. When it rubs against the cervix it irritates it and I bleed. There is also a bloodclot behind the placenta which is where bleeding is also coming from, this should go away on it's own, slowly. I also have a bacteria infection that causes preterm labor. So they have me on medicine for that. I got released from the hospital on Thursday (they really had good food though, and all my nurses were so nice). I know what to lookout for and what blood is safe, and what's not. I'm now on Super Strict bedrest, to the bathroom and bed only. Cody, my baby dog, has not left my side. Matt is being a wonderful nurse, I feel so bad that he has to wait on me hand and foot. He brings me my breakfast every morning in bed, and fills up an ice chest for my lunch and snacks..then my Mom or Scott will be coming over to fix my dinner. It's going to be a long road, but I will do whatever it takes to keep the Triplets safe. I pray and pray to make it to week 28!! That will be April 15th. Only 77 more days to go. Please keep the babies in your prayers. We need them to hang on tight!!!!

14 weeks belly

Here is my belly at week 14. I started with a 23 inch waist and I am now at 30 inches. Getting close to Matt. :)

First day to blog, 16 weeks and 5 days

I wanted to start my blog now so family and friends can keep up with how the babies and myself are doing. So far it's been a crazy road, but we are all hanging in there and praying for week 30!! My wonderful doctor, Dr. Sherri Levin, put me on bedrest at week 12 because I had been bleeding since week 8. (light bleeding) I had a cerclage (stiches) in to keep my cervix closed at week 10 and ever since then I have been bleeding about every other day. It's hard to see blood because I constantly wonder if it's the safe one that Dr. Levin said would be okay or if there is something wrong. We have made it to week 16 now and feel so blessed. I love having the babies inside of me and I'm growing so attached to them. I pray for them everyday and I know we are in God's hands....and that Granny Kleiber is sitting by God praying for the babies and me. Granny passed away at my week 6 mark, which was very hard to understand. She prayed for Matt & I to get pregnant everyday, and now here we are with Triplets, and she can't enjoy it. However, I know she's their angel!!

We had our high risk ultrasound with the UT Doctors on January 20 and all of the babies are growing great, for sure one is boy. The other 2 we are not for sure yet. For the past 6 days, since that 2.5 hour ultrasound, I have been bleeding every single day, mostly at night, and there's a lot of it. So I have been in my bed resting and trying to only get up for food, bathroom, shower, and umm..more food. :) I went to the doctor on Friday, day 2 of bleeding and everything was okay, that it's my irritated cervix causing the bleeding. I have to eat a lot of calories for the babies..I have had all kinds of things that I have not had in years!! I had an order of French Fries from Chili's on Sunday, and now everyday I have been craving them. Mostly though I want all my heatlhy foods.

Matt & I are so excited and feel so blessed about our Triplets coming. We are slowly cleaning out the guest bedroom and (or Matt is..not me..haha..) and getting the room ready. I will be on strict bedrest soon, so we want stuff done before then.

I look forward to sharing our journey with everyone. Please, please keep our babies in your prayers that they make it to week 30 and more. :)

~Adding a picture of Granny Kleiber, first post is in memory of her..because without all of her praying and support and angel spirit we would probably not be here today. Love you & miss you.

Love,
Stacey
