Frequently Asked Questions

• How did you get three babies?
• Crystal and I struggled to get pregnant. After a year of this our doctor put us on a low dose of clomid. After 5 months on the clomid we found out we were pregnant with triplets.
• What are the sex of the babies and their names?
• We are having two boys and one girl. This was the perfect combination for us. Baby A is Miles, Baby B is Lilly and Baby C is Jaxon.
• How did Crystal end up in the Hospital?
• Crystal was just finishing out the day in her classroom when she felt her water break. She called the hospital and they told her to come in and get checked. It turns out the fluids tested positive for amniotic fluid and here we are until the babies get here.
• When are the babies going to be born?
• We do not know when the babies will be born. Each day we get is a blessing. The doctors and nurses are monitoring Crystal for signs of infection, uterine tenderness and signs of labor while monitoring the babies for any signs of distress through their fetal heart rates. If any of these symptoms present then they will evaluate if they need to take the babies.
• What can we do to help?
• We have had such an outpouring of support. As of now there is not much that we need done. Prayers that our babies stay in utero as long as possible is the best thing that anyone can do for us.
• Can we come and visit?
• We welcome visitors. If you would like to come we ask that you keep your visits short as Crystal is here to rest.
• How long will the babies spend in the NICU?
• The babies will most likely spend a great deal of time in the NICU. Depending on when they are born they will spend between 6-9 weeks in the NICU.
• Will Crystal be having a C-Section?
• Yes as soon as we found out we were having triplets we elected to have a C-Section. 
• How can the babies survive with no fluid?
• We have gotten this question a lot so we decided to ask our doctor. Dr. Seale said the babies continue to make fluid and Crystal continues to make fluid. They are still able to breath the fluid in and out of their lungs and are still able to move around. At this point in the pregnancy the babies don't need the fluid as much as they would earlier in the pregnancy since their lungs have already developed.
