My Miracle Journey

[Mattsgirl]

Glad everything you got some meds. Really hope that they work for you. Very cool that you got to see your little ones again. I'm sure with everything you've been through it nice to know theyre all right on track.

 

[gloria33]

Thinking of you this morning Sarah and hoping you're feeling better and that those three little punkin' seeds are getting nice and cozy in there.

Praise God!!!

The medication the Dr prescribed is working out GREAT! I only toss my cookies when I wake up in the morning and that's about it! I can actually eat and keep food and water down. I'm starting to feel normal again

Thank God for medicine!

I have an appt with a Maternal-Fetal Dr who handles high risk pregnancies on Tues, Jan 21st. They said it will be a consult visit where we will discuss my history and plan of action for this pregnancy. I told my hubby I am going to ask for an ultrasound since I will be 9 weeks 2 days pregnant and that will be the longest I've carried a child. It will give me peace of mind to see the hearts beating away.

I'm really praying for a GREAT Dr who is compassionate and understanding of my journey. I also need a Dr who has personality! My hubby and I love to joke around and keep things light and easy. My 1st infertility Dr was not very pleasant. He was there for business and that's about it. My IVF clinic Dr's were AMAZING! They loved our jokes and joked back with us. My visits were always fun and I felt so comfortable.

Please pray that God has the Dr's and Nurses that need to be in my life lined up and ready to go

Thank you all for your prayers, support, kind words and encouragement during this roller coaster of a year.

Love you all!!!

Hey Sarah!

I haven't posted in a while but I'm just letting you know that I'm praying for you! I am so excited for you and am hoping that your new doctor is a great one! Nothing annoys me more than a doctor with no bedside manner. I like to feel comfortable talking to my doctor about everything and when he or she is all business with no personality it doesn't make me comfortable at all!

So happy you feel better!

Well, my mom said she hasn't logged into BnB in months and forgot her password, so hopefully she doesn't all of a sudden remember it. She knows we are pregnant, but doesn't know how many.

I'm waiting until I see her in person so I can see the reaction.

It's so exciting! you should so film her reaction!

Real quick I will share how I told my mom. I wanted to do something special, but since she lives 2hrs away and I don't see her as often as I'd like, I spilled the beans over the phone. This happened the day I went to the Dr because I couldn't keep anything down.

Here is how the conversation went...

Me: I had to go to the Dr's today because I can't keep anything down
Mom: Oh really? How long has this been?
Me: for a couple of days now.
Mom: That's not good
Me: Yeah, they had me stay and get hydrated because I couldn't even keep down water
Mom: Did they say what was wrong?
Me: Yeah, there is a little bug in my tummy
Mom: *it got quiet and then I heard a giggle* What?
Me: Yeah, it's the kind that stays in your tummy for 7-9 months
Mom: Really?!?!?!
Me: YES!

Then she went on telling me how sick she was with my brother and I and how she had to go on disability from work because it was so bad. I can tell she is nervous because of what has happened in the past. She keeps saying she is praying for us.

We will have to have a recorder set up facing her so we can record her reaction. I have no clue what she is going to do!

 

[No Doubt]

Your mom is gonna go nuts, I know! That will be a fun day I'm sure.

I'd think they'd give you an u/s simple because you're having triplets and are considered high risk. If they don't try to muster up some tears, lol. Sad to say because of our history of trying and nothing happening, and then it happening out of the blue like it did, then my nerves crapping out on me at the docs...my doc ordered an u/s for me when I was 9 weeks, simply cause I was a wreck and had a complete breakdown. Not the best way I know, but if all else fails... If nothing else you could always try to go back to the doc you saw for your MS and ask them for another u/s.

Can't wait to see pics. I love seeing u/s pics, but I really love to see the progression. You're gonna have three little sea horses in there! That's what I thought Virtue looked like at 9 weeks.

Glad the meds are helping. As joyous as pregnancy is, MS is no joke, especially when it's bad like that. Have you guys told Taylor yet?

Hi Sweetie

I will definitely go into the fact that I've never had a pregnancy last more than 9 weeks and for peace of mind would like to make sure they are ok. I'm sure given my history they won't mind or else here comes the water works

on 12/30, the day of my 6 week scan I had tossed my cookies for the 1st time. I told my husband, we are going to have to tell Tay sooner than we wanted because if she hears me she is going to know something is up. She is such a smart girl, she went to my husband and said, "so, the last time mom threw up she was pregnant". My husband said he tried to brush her off so he didn't have to say anything

After the ultrasound we decided we should go ahead and tell her. So I bought this shirt that says "Big Sister" on it and I wanted to wrap it and give it to her. I bought this shirt during my last pregnancy and had it tucked away in my closet.

So hubby and I called Taylor into the living room and said she had one more present from Christmas she didn't open. So she slowly unwraps it and looks at it and I ask, "What does it say?"...she said, "Big sister?". Then she covered her face with the shirt and started to cry. We said yeah, hopefully if all goes well you will be a big sis to the baby that is growing in my tummy. She is so excited. Then days later my hubby wanted to tell her how many. So I gave her the ultrasound pic and she starts to count...1, 2, 3...3!!!! There are 3?!?!?! We said yes! My hubby asked Tay, when you prayed to God for mommy to get pregnant, how many babies did you ask for?

She has a half brother who is 5 yrs old from her birth mom and she has 4 boy cousins 3yrs and younger, so she is really praying one of the babies is a girl. She would really like to have a little sister. Tay and I think there are 2 boys and a girl and hubby thinks 2 girls and a boy. Again, we pray for the health and safety of all the children and myself during this pregnancy. I knew God gave me a big rib cage for a reason

Obviously I've been searching the web for info on triplets and trying to soak in all the information I can. I came across this blog of a Christian couple who had a son and was trying for another. She didn't have any fertility treatments or take fertility drugs, she got pregnant with triplets naturally!!!

Here is a little video clip of the family and the day of her C-section. If you're not comfortable watching babies being delivered, then I would suggest going to the 2:35 minute mark.

When I seen the delivery I started to cry, I couldn't hold back the tears. I kept thinking to myself, will this truly be my turn to finally have a pregnancy go all the way and deliver a healthy child or children? I still feels it's unreal at times because of what I've been through. I think it will hit the further along I am in this pregnancy.

That video was so beautiful, it made me cry at work!!

 

[No Doubt]

That was really beautiful! How you could you not cry over that. I cry every time I see a birth and hear a baby's first cry. GJ I can't wait for it to be turn and to see your little bundles!

I don't know what it is with me or the babies, but at the 9 week mark something always happens and was no different this time around.

On Saturday, I was getting ready to go to Tay's basketball game at the church when all of a sudden I felt a gush down below. Instantly I knew what I was going to see. I sat down on the toilet and there it was, bright red blood flowing from me. I just sat there and shook my head. I didn't want to tell hubby because I know how hard this would be on him. He opened the bathroom door and saw me and asked if I was ok, then I told him what happened. He immediately knelt by me and put his hand on my tummy and started praying that God would protect the babies.

I told him I was going to stay behind and contact the nurse. I called the advice nurse and she said I need to go to the emergency room. Lawrence left Taylor at the game with my in-laws to come get me and we headed to the ER. I just kept thinking, Why? Why does this always happen at 9 weeks???

We got there and they took my vitals and admitted me. The ER Dr came in and asked what was going on and I told her what happened. She said she wanted to do a pelvic exam so she looked and said she does see some bleeding but no clots. After she was done she said she noticed that my cervix was slightly opened. My hubby asked what that meant. She said that it could be my body preparing to miscarry. Great, just the kind of thing we need to hear. We had to wait for almost 3hrs before getting an ultrasound, so those words weren't very reassuring.

Finally the time came for the ultrasound but sadly they wouldn't allow hubby to go in with me. For some reason it's their policy and my husband was quite upset as you can imagine. I mean, come on...these are his children too! Hubby has been with me at all my ultrasounds and now they are saying he can't be there. So he looked at me and asked if I still wanted to do this. Of course I would love if he were there, but I need to see what's going on with my children. So hubby had to wait outside in the hallway while they did the ultrasound. The ultrasound tech immediately eased my mind by saying that he sees them all and with heart beats. He was there for awhile measuring everything and getting heart rates. All are measuring for 9 weeks and heart rates are all around 160. He couldn't give me much information and said the Dr would have to come and talk to me.

Thankfully once we saw all was good, the tech let hubby in to see the babies. After they rolled me back to the room while we waited to get lab results and for the Dr to come talk to us. Thankfully all my labs came back within normal range but the Dr can't figure out why I was bleeding. I contacted my IVF coordinator since she was a midwife for many years and told her what was going on. She said pregnancies with multiples tend to have bleeding episodes. Oh Great! Wish I would of known that beforehand. Thankfully we have an appt tomorrow with the high risk Dr and maybe he has more insight for us.

Sadly, the meds stopped working and I'm back to puking a handful or more times a day. I'm now down 12.5 lbs. This is also something I need to talk to the Dr about. It's so hard being at work feeling this way.

Please continue to pray for us in this journey.

Praying for you, Hubs, Taylor and all three of your precious little ones in the office this morning, echoing everything NoDoubt lifted.

Hopefully it's not the case, but sounds like you may want to ask your doc about the chance of you having Hyperemisis Gravidarum. I've had several friends who have had it - and Princess Katherine had it as well, not that being in good company ever makes misery any better, but that may give you and your doctor some avenues to look into treatment options, support groups, tips and tricks, etc. My hubs' sergeant's wife had it with all three of her pregnancies (after struggles with infertility) and kept a roll of plastic waste bin liners in her car so she could have one draped over her steering wheel as she drove!

Hold on to the joy and His promise!

 

[InChristAlone]

I'm so sorry that you've been through this and I'm so angry for you that they wouldn't let your dh in with you when they did the ultrasound! I can't see any reason for that, surely that's when you need him the most!

Father I just pray your protection over my sister and her babies, I place the bloodline of Jesus Christ of Nazareth around her and each and every one of those babies, and I decree life, wholeness, fullness and health over her and the babies. I stand in the gap in faith and decree a complication-free full term pregnancy for you, healthy mummy, healthy babies and I ask Holy Spirit please fill each and every one of them with your peace that surpasses our understanding. I ask that my sister, her husband and her dd would know you in such a real way at this time, be her comfort and her shelter. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Sending lots of love your way, I'm praying xx
