Birth of the Triplets

I will start with some back history so the whole thing will make sense when I tell you. We Trayton was little I would notice that he would pee in his face all the time and I would laugh and think it was just a boy thing. When we potty trained him I could not believe how hard it was to get him to aim right he would be sitting down and I would tell him to make sure it is aiming in the toilet he would push it down as far as he could and would still pee on the floor. Much to say our bathroom would smell like pee all the time. SO I told Matt that I think there is something wrong with how his urethra (urine hole). Matt told me it was just fine I could not let it go so I took him to the Dr they gave me a referral to a specialist. I called the only pediatric urologist in 50 miles and had to wait 2 months we went to the appointment the Dr confirmed what I had though and told us it was a simple fix that he could do in the office with some numbing cream and he would have to hold really still. He is 3 he never holds still and the numbing cream may not work all the way. I was thinking what that is horrible then he said we have another option we could do surgery put him to sleep and fix it and he would wake up nun the wiser. I said lets do the surgery so they scheduled it for the 11 of December I figured that would work great Matt could take the day off so we would do the the surgery and plus it would be his Birthday so it would be a nice day off. Well 2 days later I had my 26 week Dr appointment and they did an ultrasound to see what my cervix was looking like they had discovered that it was short and opening which means I was starting to dilate  So they gave me the steroid shot and told me that if I started to contract to come in to labor and delivery. Well I got home got the boys down for a nap and laid down myself. 30 minutes later I started to contact did everything they told me to do first and they didn't stop so I call the Dr they told me to come in. I went to labor and delivery. I was contacting every 2 min so they started an IV with magnesium to stop the contractions. The nice thing about it is it helps the babies so they don't have to many neurological problems. Well as much as that stuff sucked it didn't work so they gave me more which made me have chest pains so they had to stop it. by this time it was 8 in the morning and I had not eaten since dinner so I was starving. They let me eat and rest and my contractions died down. They decided to keep me in the hospital. After a week they were going to let me go but then Zaiden started to have a lot of heart rate decals that were really low. When I was having a ultra sound to check the babies his heart rate dropped down in to the 50's. After that they decide that I would not be going home so that they could watch him. After 4 or so days he didn't show any signs of heart rate drop. On Monday the 10 they had decided that since I had failed my first glucose test and it had been 10 day since the steroid shot that I need to retake it. They woke me up at 4 to start they checked my blood level it was low so they had me drink they drink and as I was drinking it I told the nurse that I almost threw up the first one so she got me a bucket. I was so uncomfortable after I finished and so nauseated after 20 min I threw it up so I could not do it they said they would talk to the Dr and see what they wanted me to do. The Dr came in and told me that they were not going to make me reduce it but they would still have to check my blood sugar levels I was bummed I was not a huge fan of that but what ever kept me and the babies safe I would do. The Dr decided that since it had been over a week since they had checked me she wanted to see how my cervix was doing and maybe they would talk about letting me go home on Friday  Well I was a 2 and 50% effaced. She told me that there was no way I was going home now. I woke up in the middle of the night cause of some contractions but it was not anything major and I was able to go back to sleep. Then that morning was Traytons surgery and they were going to let me have a wheel chair ride but they could not give me a pass to leave because of my history.but they new I was going upstairs to be with Matt and Trayton. We got there at 11AM like they said and then they informed us that his surgery was not going to happen until 1. At that point I was have a few contractions and they were just getting stronger and stronger but not that fast so I didn't think much of it cause it was common for me to have contractions like this through this pregnancy. At 12:30 they were getting pretty crazy so I told Matt that I think that we might be getting babies today but it might change when I eat and while Trayton was back having his surgery I would like him to take me back to my room and let me eat and maybe the contractions would stop. The nurses were surprised to see me when we came back and we told them that they just took him back and that I was hungry so I came back to eat. I ate and after 30 min they didn't die down so I called the nurse and told her that I was done eating and that I was having a lot of contractions and they were different then they have been. She asked how often they were and I told her every 10 minutes so she hooked me up to the contraction machine and they were right on every 10 minutes so she called my dr and she was there in like 5 minutes she checked me and I was 5 cm and 75% effaced. Just after that I hear someone screaming and I knew it was Matt and Trayton and Trayton was not happy. Matt walked in and it looked like he got in to a fight with 10 cats and Trayton was freaking out. I asked what was wrong and he informed me that he was not happy about having to give back the PJ's that they put him in. So he started to hit scratch bit Matt all over his face and neck. We also knew that it would happen cause he does not respond to well to the Anastasia  Then the nurses came in and started my IV so they could start Magnesium again I was soooo excited they also wanted to get it in for the babies to help them with not having neurological problems. The Dr decided to check me again so I had Matt take Trayton out of the room so they could check with out him watching and I was 6 cm and complete. She decided that we would do the C section right then. So they are still trying to get and IV in and I am trying to call someone to come and get Trayton so Matt would not miss the birth. I got a hold of someone but her husband had her car and I could not get a hold of the other person I was thinking of and they Matt showed up and I told he we were having babies so he got on his phone to call and see if her could find someone to come and get Trayton. He finally did and they are preparing me for the surgery. I will add at this point I was freaking out I have never had and any medication for my other deliveries or any type of surgery so this was a big deal for me. They started to wheel me back I gave Trayton a huge and left. Well he followed me as far as he could. I get in there and they are sitting everything up I get on the table and we wait and wait we are still waiting for about 20 min for the Dr to come. during the waiting the anesthesiologist came and talked to me about getting a spinal block and all the side effects. He told me if I had any shortness of breath to let him know I informed him that I have had shortness of breath for the last 3 months he laughed and told me that he is glad that I still have a since of humor. We finally got the announced that the Dr's were in the hospital so I got my spinal after they laid me down I was having some nausea so they gave me some medication for it. Then the Dr came in and where ready to start but Matt still was not there and I started to freak out and kept asking where he was I could see him out the door putting on his hat and shoes as he walked in they put Zaiden on his bed and started taking care of him. Then I started to cry it was a little over whelming thinking how small they where and Matt almost missed the birth. Then they put Tayla on her bed and was working on her. Then came Zander. The Male Dr peeked over the sheet and told me that they all looked really good at that point they started wheeling Zaiden out then Tayla and then Zander I asked if I could see them all before they left and they cave me a short look and left. Then the next thing I remember is my Dr's telling me that she will see me on Friday. Matt told me that I started to freak out a lot and was saying that I wanted to roll over on my side and that I could not breath so the anesthesiologist  put me out so I don't remember much. As scary as it was I am glad that they are here and it went so well.
