Four years back, I was 31,I was not married yet, and start to fear that I can never find the right guy. I didn’t want to concession just to begin a family, even though I had always future being a mother. I was tired of my online dating then finally I encountered Adam. From the moment we first met, it seemed like I had known him for a lifetime. Two years later, we tied the knot, and less than three years later, our children outstripped us.

I had only one cycle of Clomid for ovulation support, and during our initial ultrasound,I was expecting triplets that was a amazing day for me.I was excited to see two babies until the doctor revealed a third. I was expecting triplets. That moment change everthing.

At 24½ weeks, I attended a routine checkup and discovered that I was already widened. I was hospitalized, received magnesium and steroid injections, and observed closely. Several days later, I was released but returned to the hospital later that week. At 25 weeks and 6 days, I gave birth to three small infants Grace, Nolan, and Audrey by C-section. Each one wept upon arrival, which brought tears to my eyes. All of them weighed less than 2 pounds and were quickly taken to the NICU.

I wasn’t able to hold my babies for almost a week because of their delicate state. The NICU experience was intense: frequent alarms, tubes, procedures, and challenges. Our son Nolan experienced an intestinal hole during his first night. That moment listening to the phrase “I have troubling news regarding your son”was the most frightening moment of my life. However, the team responded swiftly, and he recovered.

Right now we were spending more time in NICU as past of our routine. We have daily skin-to-skin sessions, alternate holding the babies, and manage work along with hospital visits. Only my spouse and I can enter the NICU, so our family has provided remote support, assisting with meals and household tasks. We’ve discovered solace in online groups for triplet parents.

Today is Day 50 in the NICU. We aim to have our babies home by their expected due date Mother’s Day. We have quite a distance to cover, yet we remain optimistic. Even in tough times, we are surrounded by love, resilience, and appreciation as we anticipate the moment we can welcome our babies home.
