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?

That is one negative thing I guess about ultra sounds....we get to see the babies so early, and sometimes maybe it would be better not knowing how many you started with.

I'm sorry to hear about it but at the same time it may be a blessing in disguise. There is only so much room in your wife's uterus and the fewer babies, the more likely she will be to carry to term.

My second son was only a month premature and I can't tell you all the problems associated with having a baby even four weeks early. They need every single minute they can get in utero.

I'll keep you, your wife and the babies in our prayers Jon.

It's frustrating to know, especially after wanting this so bad for so long, that there might be a reduction in the number. I just want them all.

I can't wait to be a father even if it's just of one.

You're gonna be a great dad Jon. Your wife is lucky and so are your kids!

I can't believe I missed this. See what happens when you take a break from JU for a day or two. You miss the big news. So congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you.

I love babies. Especially newborn babies. I wish they could stay that little and sweet longer than they do. My baby days are over that's why I have to borrow other people's babies to take care of all day.

Can we start making name suggestions? I love telling other people what to name their babies but they never listen to me. I still like making the suggestions anyway. I'm waiting for the day when someone says that's the perfect name for our baby.
