A woman from South Dakota received a life changing surprise during a recent trip to the hospital earlier this month for what she thought was kidney stones...

Dannette Giltz said she started getting pains and thought it was kidney stones like it has been in the past. After arriving to the hospital doctors let Dannette know that she wasn't experiencing a kidney stone attack, rather she was 34 weeks pregnant.

Giltz didn't realize it, but she was going into labor and having triplets. The new mother of five had been pregnant for 34 weeks.

"You don't ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing. So everyone's like, 'We can't believe it.' I am like, 'We're still in shock. Trust me, we know what you mean,'" Glitz said. She added, "It's crazy."

The triplets' 10 year-old brother said this is a dream come true.

"I wished for a baby brother and a baby sister and I knew this day was always gonna come," said Ronnie Giltz.

The triplets were named Blaze, Gypsy and Nikki.

A friend of the Giltzes created a fundraiser on Facebook to support their family, raising over $1,600.

According to the mother's Facebook posts, the newborn triplets born on Aug. 10, weighing about 4 pounds each, are in good health and expected to come home in a few days.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
