We found out last night about midnight that we are having three babies. We still haven't gotten over the shock!
We found out last night about midnight that we are having three babies. We still haven't gotten over the shock!
Mom started bleeding alot and called me. I was on my way there to drop Colin off before I went to work. Joe is at Bowling Green until Friday eve. So he was not here for all these events and it was so hard on him to be unable to be here for us. Anyways forgive me if I ramble as I have had almost no sleep in about two days. We paged the doctor, two called us back one said to go to the ED so we did. Later another called and said they would see us in the morning. We sat in the ED until 11 pm with out ever seeing the doctor. Mom was feeling terrible so I was getting more and more upset not knowing what was going on. We all know that I can be a hot head as Joe describes me at times. I went out to the doctors desk and confronted him that I didn't think her care was appropriate and I wanted to know when she would be seen. He informed me that they didn't even do ultrasounds at night and we probably wouldn't be getting one. They would see what her HCG level was and then go from there. I pretty much broke down then. Will not go into all the details but there were tears and a little more demanding on my part bacause my God did he even know what we had gone throught to even get here to this point? Within 20 minutes we were getting an ultrasound.
The ultrasound had been going on for about 25 minutes and all of a sudden I thought I saw another baby come out of nowhere. At the same time the ultrasound technician said "I would say you're having triplets"! I felt a little faint, okay, alot faint. Mom looked at me and said "Kim that isn't funny" and "You are joking right"? I don't think she believed us so we turned the screen and showed her that indeed there were three babies there all healthy with beautiful heartbeats.
We are having a set of identicals and a fraternal. One of our embryos split late and became two.
We went to the Cleveland Clinic and they did another ultrasound just to confirm that there were three. Dr. Kiwi was in surgery and came to see us as soon as he was done. I guess this is a bit of a big deal. Our identicals are called monochorionic diamniotic. They have seperate sacs but share a placenta. This puts them at risk for twin to twin transfusion syndrome. They have a higher mortality rate in the uterus. We are going to be watched very closely. Dr. Kiwi said that having three babies doesn't put Mom at risk any more than two does. She is already high risk because of her age regardless of how many babies. They are going to keep a close eye on her blood pressure and sugar levels. As for how we are adjusting to the news
Selective reduction is not something we would even condsider unless mom's life was in danger so we are going to continue with the pregnancies and put the whole thing in God's hands. We are still feeling overwhelmed at having three babies. We have alot of fears about how we are going to manage to support them all. We will continue to take it a day at a time and know that we have the support of our family. We thank God for them and pray for the continued health of mom and all 3 babies.
Also today is Mom Coseno's Birthday!! Happy Birthday. You were right there are three.

The above picture is of mom the morning after we found out there were three. She hadn't slept but maybe two hours and was still in shock. Also a picture of grandma Elizabeth and me after we told her the big news, AND yes I had gained about 1o lbs. after all the infertility meds.
