This is what she was reporting to me. I went to one or two when they had the ultrasound test. I was actually three or four. It was only when they were doing the ultrasound. Okay. The regular doctor's appointments, I usually didn't make it to. I was working.
Well, and I was the only one working since supposedly she had to take it easy. Um, so it was hard to get off work. You know, I just started this job, didn't have a lot of flexibility of asking a lot of time off. And so time goes on, we get later on in the pregnancy, she starts having more.
at risk you know in and out of the hospital and they were gonna you know hey we might have to keep you just to watch you know in case they try to come early they ended up coming i want to say it was 37 weeks so it's a little bit a little bit early but not a little early too they were tiny tiny though um one was three seven i want to say and the other one was four one oh wow
If I remember my numbers correctly. So they were tiny. They were at that point. I was like, I was scared to hold them. I'm like, I'm going to break them just if I move wrong. You know, I made a couple of the first doctor's appointments when we would go see their pediatrician and everything was fine.
Yes, they – she had three other ones. They all lived with her. I – Met the ex-husband, you know, as a, hey, I'm Derek. Hey, I'm so-and-so. You know, other than that, never really chatted. Throughout all this, she had fed me stuff that put me against him. and made him, you know, Oh, he's like this.
And when you're, when you're in that situation, you're going to support your other half, you know, and no reason not to believe, or I didn't have any proof against it. So that's about the extent with him, you know, we didn't really care for each other. You know, I would meet him to drop the kids off or meet him to pick the kids up. But, you know, the oldest one.
Yes, ma'am. You know, I would go or I would help out and watch the kids when she'd have to take the oldest one to her you know, neurology appointments and stuff. And I would, I tried to make some of those, but the ones that I would make were few and far between. Like I said, I was still new in my job and.
supposedly had epilepsy okay um apparently it supposedly had epilepsy since i was told by her one year old since she was a year old looking back on reports and stuff it looks like she started reporting it around like three months okay and and then the middle two did they have any health issues the middle two One had some gastro issues. The other one, no.
The oldest one, you know, like I said, I was told she had epilepsy. You know, she could have seizures and had had them here and there. She was on like, she was taking, dude, I want to say at times, I think it was like anywhere from five to seven pills. You know, I can't remember if it was morning and evening or per day. There's quite a few. We had the pill thing set out for each day.
Yes. The two middle ones were sharing custody. The oldest one was with her full time. So as time went on, the girl started getting older and, you know, they had some speech problems and stuff like that. And one was always closer to me and one was always closer to her.
Both girls.
Yeah, they they were just, you know, small and we had to put them on the growth formula to help try to gain weight. They weren't really gaining a lot of weight still to this day. They are tiny, but their speech was behind and stuff like that. But they had a speech therapist that would come out to the house and help out. That was, I think, around two years old. I believe.
But other than that, we had we'd go to the doctor. They still saw the doctors for like trying to, you know, watching growth plates and trying to gain weight and stuff like that.
Well, I believe they said it, you know, failure to thrive. But it was just no matter what you fed them or how many times you fed them, they just they didn't they wouldn't gain weight. I don't know where it went. You know, at least when I was there, they would eat all the time.
She never went back to work. She was a stay-at-home mom. I was the one working all the time. I want to say when they were around a year and a half, two years old, I got another job. So it had been a year and a half, roughly, because in August of 2019, I got a new job. But I started traveling with this job. So, you know, she was at home with them all the time. I'd travel a couple days a week.
Sometimes I'd be gone a full week. As far as I knew, you know, everything was going all right. You know, they were doing their speech and everything. The oldest one was, you know, she was up and down. She'd have her good times and she'd have her bad times. She had behavioral depression. Looking back on it now, I see why. And I don't blame her.
You know, taking medicine that you didn't need and all that, I'm sure played a major role in it.
but I'm one of those people that I would stick around, you know, I'm going to be there for my kids. And I just noticed, I noticed little things that weren't adding up.
Before the kids. She was big on being married before the kids were born. So I found out, I want to say it was April, that she was pregnant, and we were married in June.
Like I said, I look back and I play a part of not being in the right mindset on that because nowadays I would have never done that. But I was right along with, hey, I'll do what, you know, I'm on board. I'm all in. And I said, so down the road, I started noticing some, you know, things, like I said, little things not adding up. We weren't getting along as much.
