32 weeks 3 days

Well I have made it past the average for triplets (32.1) but I am not ready to meet our sweet trio just yet. I have a c-section scheduled for April 14th at 10am....feeling determined to keep them inside until 35 weeks. We have been really busy preparing for the boys, ie deep cleaning, re-arranging the garage, washing baby clothes, making labels/stationary and loving on my very active 3 year old. I am a busy body by nature, I come by it honestly, my mom is the exact same way. I have just hit an all time high for nesting x3!! A combination of the things above probably led to today....

We had a little scare...I have had a great triplet pregnancy. I have not had so much as a hiccup this far along, and feel that this is nothing short of miraculous. I have started having problems sleeping, every time I toss and turn it feels like I am ripping my uterus apart. It has started to get very uncomfortable. Well I woke up this morning and decided that it was best to have "Bedside Baptist Church." I sent the boys on their way and decided I would feel better if I showered. That is when I started spotting. I have never had any complications so this really worried me. I texted my doctor and she told me she was already at Labor and Delivery. She said it was probably nothing, but I should come and get checked out. I called Cam and told him he better turn around and come home. When he got home I was ready to go, wet hair and all. (This is not the glamorous delivery day I was hoping for)

We checked in at the hospital and the same nurse that delivered Harper was assigned to us. She lives in our town and it was really comforting to to have her by my side. She assured me that everything was fine and that if today was the day, the boys would be just fine. I was just not convinced. After an hour of monitoring the triplet's heart rates and my contractions my doctor came to check on us. She was really encouraging and said my cervix was closed and that this was probably a result of a strong kick. Apparently your cervix is really vascular and a blood vessel can pop easily. Whew. I was relieved that we could go home today.

This was a wake up call for Cam and I. We need a PLAN for when the day does come. So tonight I will be packing my hospital bag along with making lots of lists.

My prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to run with perseverance. When I get tired, encourage me. When I want to quit, carry me to the finish line. (April 14th!) Thank you for being so faithful to me.
