Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!!  We found out some fabulous news on friday at our Ultra Sound. We're having QUADRUPLETS!!!  Just Kidding!  I was pretty anxious all week and being on summer break and kinda of sick to my stomach- I've had plenty of time to think about what would happen at the dr office.  Honestly, we were both just hoping there was a baby still growing strong.  So as the the u/s began, a little baby just popped up into view!  The Dr. said your baby is just a lil peanut, but the yolk sac looks good and lets see if we can hear the heartbeat.  Wha-oosh, wha-oosh sound started and we both started crying.  It was so real.  The dr. wanted the heartbeat at least 100 and it was at a strong 114bpm.  YES!  Go baby stott!  Then the dr. looked around for a second baby and found one much smaller-and said that it had implanted but may not make it.  we couldn't hear its heartbeat either so it could just be absorbed back into my body, which I still need to understand how that works.  However, we are so THRILLED that we have at least one strong, healthy, baby that is growing exactly as it should!  We are so blessed with this amazing opportunity to be parents.  Although, I sure had no idea how exhausted I would be growing another human...it's incredible.  I'm amazed at though this is so new to me and everything I'm feeling is for the first time, billions of women have grown babies and they get through the tired and sickness phase...so I'm thinking I've got a chance of "making" it too. 

 

It was fun to celebrate my sweet daddy to be today and imagine what a fabulous dad he'll make.  Russell is already is the most wonderful husband and I can't wait to celebrate all the ups and challenges of parenthood with him; I wouldn't want to jump into it with anyone else.
