Baby shower thrown by the FFA

The FFA that Haiden belongs to decided to throw us a baby shower. We were so surprised and greatful to them. It was held at Jenny's house, we got lots of goodies for the babies. We could not thank them enough for doing such a wonderful thing for us and our family. We are truly blessed with such wonderful friends. Thank you is just not enough.

18 wks appt

We went for another appt, (which by the way we do this every other week) One appt is to just check fluid, heartbeats, and movement. The other is to check weight, heartbeats, fluid, and movements. All was well with the babies they all weigh 9 oz each. They more than doubled their weight in 3 wks. BAby b & c (both boys) were bumping each other in the head. And C was sucking his thumb. The other boy and little girl were minding their own business. I am doing really well, so keep up the prayers.

No more blood clot

Went for our appt. and all is well. All the babies are breathing good, good fetal movement, and good fluid around them.
And yes there are 3 boys and 1 girl.
We are sooooo happy. My blood clot that I had is now gone. Or at least it what they are saying, because they can't find it anymore. YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are having 3 GUYS & A GAL

Ok so I went to the doctor yesterday, Heather got to make this one. The babies are doing GREAT!! For those of you that don't already know there are 3 BOYS and 1 GIRL!! We are so excited :) Of course you know Heather was holding out hope that all of them were boys but everyone else was thinking there were 3 girls and 1 boy. Well boy were they wrong. The little girl (Baby A) is at the bottom because she is the boss and she has to keep the boys in line just like her big sisiter...Ha Ha! Poor Baby B) has NO room in between his sister and brother. At one point the doctor was looking at him and he had his little hands together like he was praying :) We said that's because he is praying for some more room...LOL. Baby C is good as well. It's hard to keep things straight but, he is the one that was streched out. Baby D is on the other side away from his brothers and sister. He likes to hang out by himelf. He is doing good as well. When they were trying to see the sex of the babies we couldn't see Baby A's because she had her legs closed for the longest time. Then when the doctor starting looking he finally got her to open her legs. We could CLEARLY see that Baby B, C, and D were boys. They had NO problem showing their business...Ha Ha. I am doing good. Kind of tired a lot but hanging in there. So all in all EVERYTHING is GOOD!! Keep up the praying;)

First appt with Dr. Reiter

Hey all everything went well at the dr. today and all was good. They have grown so much. Baby A is WILD. The rest of them are pretty calm. We like him a lot he is a man of few words but really knows the world of multiples pregnancy. He didn't do the nuchal test on their necks (which would look for markers of downs syndrome, he said they are to small. We are not having amniocities done, because the babies are faternal (meaning they are all in their own sacs) and would have to have four amnios done and run a big risk of loosing one or all the babies. So we have decided against that . But otherwise they are all doing great.Heartbeats were 171, 171, 164, and 163.keep up the prayers.

Yep! We are having QUADS!!!!!!

We had our second ultrasound today, and baby C caught up to the rest of the others. THere are still four heartbeats!!!!!! Everyone is measuring right one track. Their heartbeats were 178-164. They now have arm and leg buds and are moving like crazy. Of course I can't feel it yet, but there will plenty of that going on in no time. Our due date is June 20, 2008. However, Dr. Dunn told us to expect them to come more like TAX TIME (4/15/08). Our goal is to shoot for 32 wks. We are being referred to a Perinatologist in Houston. We have our first appt. with him on 12/4/2007.

A little scare

Well we had a little scare today, I started bleeding, but went to the dr. and they did another ultrasound and all four babies are doing great. THe one they were worried about is now bigger than the other three. There heartbeats were as follows
baby a -157
baby b- 158
baby c- 160
baby d - 152
HE told us today that since we have made it to 8 wks. That the chance for miscarriage goes down to 5% per baby now. So that was great news.
Will post again next wed. when we go back.
