00:00If you would have told me a year ago this is what was happening, I wouldn't have believed you at
00:06all. I really wanted to be able to capture all of our family's reactions to us telling them that we
00:12were having our first baby. My pregnancy with Lucas was really special. I was healthy the whole time
00:18he was healthy. Every appointment it was so exciting to hear his heartbeat and just get
00:24closer and closer to our due date. On New Year's Eve morning, we told our family, you know, we have
00:29a quick appointment. Then we can get to all the fun New Year's Eve stuff. The day before, I had
00:34felt
00:35Lucas kicking, so we didn't think that anything was wrong. We're doing the routine check of his
00:39heartbeat and he was perfectly still. The doctors confirmed that he had passed, that he didn't have
00:46a heartbeat anymore. I was in the hospital for five days so that I could go through the labor and
00:52delivery process and deliver my sons. I don't know how we would have gotten through that week without
00:57our families being there for us. We decided pretty quickly that we wanted to try again
01:02as soon as we could. It's okay if it's not. I know that we have lots of babies coming, but
01:11I'm so nervous. Okay. I didn't realize how hard emotionally that was going to be when I found
01:18out that I was pregnant. Is my body ready? Am I emotionally ready? Is this going to end in heartbreak
01:23again? We were so excited when we found out, but then it kind of hit me. I didn't have the
01:34ending
01:34that I wanted with my last pregnancy. We were so nervous going into that ultrasound. Right away,
01:40we saw that there were two sacs. Our doctor kept looking around and she said, oh wait, there's three
01:46heartbeats in here. We decided we need to tell our family as soon as possible. This is really big news.
01:52We need to call our parents. So as soon as we got home, we called my parents first.
02:11So that was baby A.
02:13What? You're kidding, right? You're totally joking.
02:46We called my husband's parents right after and I loved their reaction because they had just told us,
02:57you know, we've been praying for you and we are so excited that you're having one baby. And then we
03:03told him about the other two. That is so great. So do you know like details, like how far along
03:11you are?
03:12What? Yeah, well. Well, so that's, that's baby A.
03:19What? And we just sent you baby B.
03:25Wait, what does that mean? What does that mean?
03:29And then we sent you another picture of baby C.
03:33What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:36Wait, I'm so confused.
03:40There's baby A, baby B, baby C.
03:44Are you kidding me?
03:46No.
03:47What?
03:53What?
03:59My mother-in-law just started crying, then called our siblings, all of them.
04:04we're very excited we were having one baby there was excitement for two babies and then when we
04:09said there is a baby c all of their jaws just dropped and then there's baby b and then there's
04:18baby c it's way zoomed out because there's no this is real i don't understand it was a really special
04:40moment to be able to share that with the people who had been with us for the last couple of
04:45months
04:45you know helping like grieving our son and praying for us and being so excited for this i don't know
04:51if you guys see the picture but there's baby a and baby b are you for real and baby c
05:11are you guys messing with us no you want to see the ultrasound are you are you freaking kidding
05:18we're having triplets there's so much that has gone on in this last eight months
05:26that has been really really really hard but also really good we are having two identical girls and
05:33a boy which is really exciting that's exactly what i wanted this pregnancy has been very physically
05:38challenging because i've had a baby in january and now are carrying triplets it's been really hard on
05:44my body i fully believe that my son knows our triplets he's their older brother and that he is
05:52sending them to us i mean it's only been eight months since our son has passed and we're getting
