As I come to the end of my first official Mothers day, I cant help but to think about how much my life has changed in the past year. I so clearly remember waking up around 5AM on Mothers Day last year and seeing the "2 pink lines" indicating I was pregnant (yes, ironically, i found out I was pregnant on Mother's Day). I remember being filled with so much emotion: joy, happiness, thankfulness and fear. Obviously, I had no idea at the time that I was carrying triplets, but I remember being so very happy. I remember telling my mom and mother in law because I was unable to keep the excitement to myself. It was a couple of weeks later when we went in for my first US and the sonographer informed us "well, you got 3"--HUH?!? was about all that came out of mine and Travis' mouth for the remainder of the appt. After getting over my small "break down" and intense fear of carrying triplets, I had the most wonderful pregnancy (yes, even with being on bedrest in hospital for 5 weeks). I had some headaches, but only actually got sick once, which I think is pretty much unheard of for someone carrying multiples. 32 weeks (actually only 28 weeks) later, I was blessed with 3 beautiful, healthy children.
The past year has been filled with some pretty hard times, but these have been overshadowed by the happiest times of my life. I know this journey has just begun and we will have many tough days ahead, but I hope to be able to use the feelings of pride, joy and thankfulness I have felt the past year to get me through these hard times.
