FALSE ALARM

This week we had a little scare..........on Wednesday, Ali woke up to an extreme amount of back pain and nausea. We were already heading to the hospital for our weekly check up, but this time we drove straight to the ER. The doctors were afraid that her back pain meant she was going into labor and said that they may do the C-Section right then if that was the case. That right there almost made me throw up. Neither one of us were ready for that news, but the doctors said that back pain is a sign of labor and if she was going into labor, then they wouldn't stop her. To make a long story and a long day short, all is good and the babies are still in the belly doing well and still growing. Back pain turned out to be growing pains for Ali's body. At least we got to see where the ER was, since we hadn't been there before. All the nurses were shocked that we made it to 35 weeks before having to go to the ER. She said that triplet moms usually start showing up at the ER at around week 20 or so. It was a scary day, but we are once again blessed that it ended in our favor. It also made us realize that these babies will be here before we know it. 7 DAYS FROM TODAY!! That is scary to think about and not really sure if it has sunken in yet. I feel like I'm going through the "nesting" period for both of us, because Ali can't do much. Trying to get anything and everything done before they get here...........but we are running out of time. We are still on for the 15th. 7 Days to go.....
