The story

Today is going to be a catch up day at home.  I know I will not have very many more of these days, so I thought I would just stay home and enjoy time with my sweet 4 year old.  Speaking of, he is still asleep so I thought I better hop on here and finally post "The Story" of how I found out about the triplets.

Nope, we did not do fertility.  In fact, finding out I was even pregnant was quite the shock and extremely overwhelming.  I was in my last course semester of attaining my second bachelors degree when I found out I was expecting, so babies were definitely not on my radar.  Anywho, the day I went in to my doctor to see just what was going on with my body I had no idea about the craziness that I soon would be hearing about.  Dr. H did a simple blood test, urine test as well as she always has her patients do this no matter what kind of visit.  Got the results while at the doctor and bam, yeap you said it, pregnant it is.  So, then she schedules a ultrasound cause I told her, "their is no way I could be pregnant," plus I didn't even know how far along I could be.  I am not one to keep track of everything in that area. :/  Then the next day we went to get my ultrasound and as the ultrasound tech was scanning my abdomen she says, "well they all look great," and I said, "yeah they are pretty good pics, but how does the BABY look?"  Then she said, "well, here is baby A and here is baby B."  WHAT?  Long silence...................  No way, oh yes two, or so we thought.  She found two sacs and one did look twice the size as the other, but I had no idea.  I did ask her why one was so much larger and she said sometimes they can be that way and that it was a good question for Dr. H.  WOW!  So, I leave the place in shock, complete shock.  Almost as if I was in the fifth dimension or the twilight zone.  LOL.  So I go along with life and eventually grasp the fact that I will be having two babies, twins, until I go in for another checkup with Dr. H on October 10th.  Just breath, it will all be alright, eventually.  When I got to my check up with Dr. H on October 10th she wanted to check the babies heartrates and was trying to find them with the doppler, but was having a really hard time.  It just was extremely jumbled.  So she said she wanted to do an ultrasound to get a clear read.  Once she put the ultrasound wand on my abdomen I instantly said, "that is not three babies is it?!!!" and she said, "now hold on let me look at this closely and make sure its just three."  What?!!!  I was already getting emotional and crying.  I mean finding out I was having two while trying to finish my degree was a lot, but now three.  This was just absolutely unbelievable to me and NOW I did go into the twilight zone. LOL.  I was a mess that day.  So, back to the ultrasound.  Dr. H checked everything and said, "yes, it looks like you are having triplets."  Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Once I contained myself I called Rusty, cause I knew he was in a big meeting and didn't want to frighten him.  Just told him I needed him at visit and as soon as possible.  Well, I must have sounded like I was in the twilight zone cause he got there in about five minutes.  When he got there he knew something was wrong and my swollen eyes probably gave that away or the fact that I was in another dimension.  So we sat down and I handed him the ultrasound pics and he said, "well what it that?" LOL, men are so funny about stuff like this.  I said, "look closely and tell me what you think."  So he did and he said, "well it looks like the babies."  Then I said, "yeah, all three of them."  At that moment I had the biggest Clark Griswold moment of laughter/crying that I ever had in my life.  In fact, I am right now just reflecting back at that moment and thinking of the craziness to come.  Oh, I love Clark Griswold, aka Chevy Chase.  My all time favorite actor.  Anywho, Rusty was shocked and couldn't stop saying, "wow I can't believe this, wow this is so crazy."  I then started crying some more cause this was me who is pregnant with not just one baby, but three in my tiny tummy.  Plus I needed someone to be sane during this time, cause I sure wasn't.  So then he started saying, "honey, this is awesome and will be so much fun.  I hope they are all boys."

I could go on and on, but do not have the time.  Little man just woke up and I gotta get to cookin.  I already need a chicken coop full of chickens to supply my current guys bellies, but I also need a dairy for the supply of milk.  If the triplets eat eggs and drink milk as much as Daddy and bubba currently eat we might as well buy a farm to supply us. :)

Happy Friday!!
