Our first ultrasound

5 weeks 4 days and 4 babies

Published on July 5, 2006 By just john In Parenting

As we were sitting in the doctors office on Monday, we were laughing and joking about how we had a very high likelihood that we would be finding out we had lots of babies on the way. Finally it is our turn and we go back. My wife has to assume the position and the doc enters the room. We were both excited when we saw something on the screen. (Seeing really is believing)

My wife said, "I see two." The doctor said "I see four!"

We are still very early in the pregnancy but right now we are looking at quadruplets! How cool is that?

No, but your wife loves you, and she has to bear them. So give her what she wants!

Seriously, I had 4 - over 9 years, and that was rough enough. in about 8 months, we are going to start a "keep John sane" fund and get you some help!

"keep John sane"

I was built for this. I don't want to make light of how difficult it will be but right now I have no worries that we can do this. We have been married for almost 10 years now and have been waiting on this time of our lives for that long. Whatever happens will be what is supposed to happen and I accept that. If it is harder than I think it will be, and I do think it will be difficult, it will only be cause to deepen my resolve to be a great father.

You will do well. It is good to see your resolve. But then we can always be the support group with whatever we can muster. You know, little things, like a full nights sleep. Or a gross of pampers. Industrial diaper rash creme.......The little stuff!

Congrats again. I look forward to the stories of you new family.

I second Tex's sentiment. Keep on yelling, JJ.

Maybe I'll just set up an infomercial on how to stay pregnant... You too can learn for just four easy payments of $19.95.

Thanks!

That's an awesome attitude. And yes, it will be harder than you think

Seriously, I'm sure you will be delerious at times but sounds like you will be happy with the delerium.

My wife was having some diabetic issues yesterday so she went to the doctor today. While they were there they did another ultrasound and they think that 1 maybe 2 may be questionable at this point. We knew this was a possibility. The best news is that there are 2 that look really good and one other one that is progressing well but not as well as the first two. The other hasn't made very much progress in the last couple of days.

I still have faith that God will lead us down the road he chooses for us.
