My loving wife and I already have two great little boys. They are 4 and 5 years old. We decided we wanted more and being the planning freaks we are, we wanted our next child born in February. So we had our start date, and wham, bam, thank you mam, we got pregnant B) .

We went for our 8 week appointment Monday, July 8th and got some bad news. There was no heart beat :( . We were told to come in this Monday, July 15th for a followup sonogram to confirm. Well, they found the egg, and then another egg, and then another egg, IDENTICAL TRIPLETS!

The doctor didn't give much hope, and there were still no heart beats. We were told that when a split like this happens it can take a little longer for a heart beat to develop, and that these types of pregnancies are very risky and often have poor out comes. My wife goes in today for another sonogram and is very hopeful. Especially since the Dr called and said her pregnancy hormones are thru the roof.

I believe in God, and I am a FIRM believer in fate. I never ask the Lord why, or can he help me. I just ask for understanding and patience.

Thanks for listening guys!

God Bless you both Man. I will see that you are included in our bed-time prayers as well Amigo.

When my wife was pregnant with our first son, we were both 39 years old. They did some blood tests and found that the baby had a 1 in 85 chance of having so many birth defects it would not live outside the womb and would require her to have an amneo test to determine the facts.

Well, we went to the hospital for the tests where they discuss the options of what to do if the outcome is bad and we got seriously stressed. Then we go in and they stick a needle into her belly and into her uterus to test the fluid.

THEN we had to wait 10 days. 10 incredibly long, horrible days.

I was leaving one company for another at the time and had scheduled my last day to be when the call was supposed to come and had gone around and said all my goodbyes early so I could wait in my office for the call. When I got it, I was to drive to my wife's job and pick her up to give her the news cuz she didn't feel like she'd be able to handle taking the call herself.

Suddenly my phone rang and as soon as I realized it was a nurse, my eyes filled up and I affirmed that it was me she was talking to and I will NEVER forget her words as I broke into tears - "he's perfect, your son is perfect".

With my hands shaking, tears flowing down my face, I dialed my wife's job and the only thing I said when my wife answered was "he's perfect honey. God Bless us all he's perfect" and then I told her I was on my way and she was leaving work anyway.

My point is, no matter what the odds, no matter what you "think or worry about" prayers are the ONLY things that we as parents have in these situations and when the good news comes, remember as you raise your little ones, what got you through and what should be as big a part of THEIR lives as they grow as it was when you were worrying.

God Bless you and the wife my friend and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as this all progresses.

10b15: you and your wife are in our prayers. My wife and I couldn't have children, and I was 46 by the time the miracle of our son's adoption came through, so I know what waiting is. Good luck and God bless your wife and you.

Prayers coming from over here.
One prayer I use quite a bit is " God, Grant Me the wisdom and the knowledge to deal wit My impatience."
