My doctor came by to see me today and she had a little bad news to tell me. She is going out of town on the 18th and will not be returning until the 27th. She was very honest with me regarding the situation. She said she had known about the trip for quite some time but she didn't want to worry me and she had hoped the timing would work out to where I would have the babies when she was in town. She said Ennis would be on call and covering for Nivens while she was out. I have met Ennis two or three times in my hospital stay, but I know very little about her and it makes me a little nervous that the person who could possibly be delivering my babies is somebody I don't know from Adam. I know Trylovich a little better and feel more comfortable with her mostly because I have several friends who see her and they all brag on and on about her so I asked Nivens if she would ask Trylovich to do the c-section if I go into labor while she is gone - she is letting me know what Trylovich said tomorrow. Only thing is Trylovich will be out of town a few days while Nivens is gone too. So, if I go into labor during that time, Ennis will do it. I am sure Ennis is fully capable, she delivered my friend Jessica's triplets, it is just the uneasy feeling of having a doctor that knows very little about me and vice versa, delivering my triplets.
It upset me a little for the obvious reasons, but at the same time, she seemed very sincere and sorry about the situation. It is pretty much out of my control as is everything else, so I am going to try not to worry about it.
I found your website - I have a question!

It's all in God's hands and you have to trust that He knows what is best for you and those babies. He has brought you this far and He will not leave you now. Try not to worry. I know it is hard not to, but it will all work out. You have enough on your plate as it is.
Amy, I know exactly how you feel. I just want to give you words of encouragement from my experience. I was in the exact same boat as you. My doctor told me she would be in town but might be tied up doing something else so a friend was going to help her out. I just happened to go to the emergency room 4 weeks before Cadence's expected date and I had a man come in to see me. He introduced himself and told me he would be the one that would be delivering Cadence when the time came because my doctor had emergency surgery. I am a modest person and I had a female doctor but now a man was delivering my baby. I was all torn up about it as well. Let me tell you it was the best thing that could've happened to me. Dr. Stanzyck was the BEST doctor. He had the best bed side manners and was a fantastic doctor. This might sound weird but the main ones you want to bond with are the nurses. They will be the ones with you the whole time. They will take care of you. The doctor will be there for the main part but will be in and out in no time. I promise things will be fine. I only saw Dr. Stanzyck 3 times before Cadence came and I wouldn't have traded him for the world. As a matter of fact I tried changing to him as my doctor but he has moved out of state. I know it is scary but I promise God has everything under control and that doctor will take GREAT care of you because HE is guiding her hands. Know we are praying for you and have a little something coming in the mail for those little angels!!! We love you! Can't wait to see pictures! Hope this will help calm some fears.

My MD wasn't there for my delivery of the trio either. I was QUITE bummed. However, I knew that within the group they would NEVER let her leave town and leave me in incapable hands. My section went seamlessly and without a blip, and frankly I barely knew she was gone. Who knows, maybe you'll hang in there till she returns!? Have faith kiddo!! No worries!!
So are they thinking you might go longer than the 18th? I hope it all works out. With the track you're on, you might even make it past the 27th and this will all be a non-issue! I hope so.
God is on your side kiddo, lots of prayers are going up for you and Craig and those babies. It will all work out. Keep your head up, I'm thinking about cha! :)

Amy, God has blessed you with some great friends giving you wonderful words of encouragement. For that, I am grateful.
Love & prayers,
Mom
Amy - you are doing so great!!! The end is the hardest part emotionally, physically and mentally. Hang in there and know that regardless of when you deliver and who delivers you, things WILL work out! You have done such a great job of cooking those babies and now comes one of the hardest parts...trusting that it will all be ok. I had a hard time with that as well, but when it was all over I knew that things had worked out the way they should have. I'm thinking and praying for you, your husband and your 3 precious babies! You can do this!!! You are so close and it is all SO worth it!
my OB went out of town when I hit 31 weeks and I was so terrified that I would go into labor while she was gone. Luckily the babies stayed put until she came back (my water actually broke the day she came back!). I totally understand how you feel.
Hang in there - you are really doing a fantastic job. You are in my prayers!
Just another note of encouragement. I think you know my story with Austin. I was using a midwife and all was going quite well, I was almost fully dilated and then a doppler check revealed that his heart rate was dropping to 40bmp. Not good for a baby. In less that 30 min. I was at the hospital and under the knife of a dr. I had never met in my life. She was extremely capable and brought me and Austin through with flying colors. Just a case in point of God being in control and knowing what was the best plan...even better than me. I just wanted to share this with you so if you don't have the dr. you have known all the way way through your pregnancy things will work out fine. I know it's more comforting to have the familiar. In the end we want a safe delivery and healthy babies and God is going to see to that.
Of course, you just may hold out till your dr. gets back and if that's the case...then that is what God deemed best.
Love you and pray for you daily.
Amy so sorry I haven't talked to you before now. I am Angela Craigs cousin from Kansas,I have been reading your blogs since Paula sent me the link to it a few months ago. I just want to send you all our prayers and good thoughts. You will have those babies when they are ready to enter this world with or without anyones help. You need to remember your faith and have alot of faith in you,the babies and God. Maybe you will hold out til the 26th and have them on Paulas birthday. Good luck and stay strong.
