First appointment

  I had made my appointment with a small hospital that I had my son at. I had such a great experience that I was hoping to deliver this baby there as well.
  It was early morning so they had gotten me in to the Dr pretty fast.
The medical assistant did her routine before I met with the Dr. I met the Dr in his office, he asked how my previous pregnancy went, how far along do I think I am. All the normal things. He wanted to do a scan just to see how far along I was. We went back into the ultrasound room and we got all set up. By then Gabriel my sister and my son had joined me. The lights went out and the monitor came on.
  He put the wand against my belly and right away you saw the baby. A tiny little baby. The Dr scanned back and forth for a long time before he said anything.  Then he said there's three.
  Hold on did he just say three? Three what? You have three babies in here! WHAT? No there can't be three babies I told him. Gabriel was just quiet. He turned the screen and counted out the three tiny heartbeats. There they are, three heartbeats  clear as day. Gabriel looked at the Dr and said no that's impossible. The Dr replied we'll it's right here so it's very possible.
   The Dr asked if we had used any fertility drugs. Of course we didn't we were trying to prevent getting pregnant. I was still in shock. I had a stupid nervous are you kidding me smile on my face. My hands got clamy and I started to get the shakes.
   The Dr said well this changes everything. They didn't have a NICU there so he referred us to Portland to meet with a specialist in high risk pregnancys.
   Through all this we forgot to discuss how far along I was. At the end of the appointment he said by the way your 12 weeks pregnant. Let's get some blood work and get it sent to Portland.
   After my appointment we drove home. We didn't really talk much we were in shock. I've never felt this shocked surprised scared all at once in my life. I called my parents and told them. I thought maybe if I say it out loud I'll believe it myself. That didn't help. They thought I was joking. Like really who has triplets.
    We went to Gabriel parents house to tell them as well. We got there and handed them the ultrasound and they said oh how cool. And we said look again. Twins? No there's a baby A baby B and baby C. Three? Yes three babies. They as well didn't believe us until Gabe and I both started crying and I had to run to the bathroom to get sick. 
   It took us a good 2-3 weeks to wrap our heads around having three babies at one time. Seriously who has three babies at once. That's crazy. I'm crazy. My life is never going to be the same. So many things were going through my head.
   We didn't tell anyone else about the triplets until I went to the specialist. We wanted to wait to announce it to the world just in case the first Dr made a mistake. And by mistake I mean less then three not more.

Finding out

Gabriel and I had not really talked about having more kids. We had a 14 month old at the time so that was the last thing we thought about. We didn't know if we wanted any more kids period. Isaiah wasn't the easiest baby. He had colic his nights and days were mixed up and he was my first baby. I was learning! Plus Gabriel and I never saw each other we had opposite schedules, so if it's this hard with just one why do we need another.
  I was late probably about a month my period has never been regular so I didn't think too much into it. I was like maybe I'm pregnant, nah I can't be.
  A couple weeks prior I had taken the plan B pill when I knew my BC had failed, so I was thinking it was impossible. Come to find out that pill has a 25% failure rate.
   Anyway I was talking to my sister and friend about it and they convinced me to take a test. I mean it couldn't hurt. I knew it was going to be negative, might as well get it over with. I went to the dollar store I didn't want to spend $20.00 on a test that was going to be negative. 
  I went home took the first test, and holy shit it was positive. I took the second test, definetly positive. I was freaking out. Then I thought how accurate could they be their a dollar. So my sister went and got me the digital clear blue. I took both of those and both pregnant 3+ weeks. I was shocked. What the hell am I going to do, and how do I tell Gabriel.
  I left the tests on the bathroom counter for Gabriel to find, romantic right. He said "I told you". Apperently I was the only one in denial. It took about a month and a half for me to actually get an appointment since my insurance was changing. By the time my appointment came we had come to terms with having another baby. I mean this would be our LAST baby, our kids will be close in age and We'll still be young to enjoy life when their older.
  We announced to our parents at Christmas time that we were expecting another baby. I think they were all a little shocked. I mean we had a 14 month old we were young and the excitement about isaiah was still fresh. But oh man did we have some exciting news coming for all of us!
