WOW!

So I am pretty sure all of you knew we were pregnant. Well we had an ultrasound today because I have been having some slight bleeding and the Dr. saw THREE sacs! That means THREE babies! It was still to early to see the babies though. So next week I will have another ultrasound to try to see them again. Please pray for them and our family, the Dr. said there is still a chance we could lose one two or all of them because of the bleeding and it's still early. So hopefully they will all be okay. We are still very much in shock! Every time I think about what we saw or the word TRIPLETS I laugh and cry at the same time. I laugh because it sounds so crazy and cry because well it is just so amazing that that happened to us! I did a little research on the odds of conceiving multiples with out the help of fertility drugs and this is what I found:
the general odds of having multiple babies (both natural and with fertility treatments) is about 3 percent — or 1 in 33. The chance of having natural fraternal twins: 1 in 60; the chance of having natural identical twins: 1 in 250; the chance of having natural triplets: 1 in 8,100 — though only about 30 percent of triplets are conceived naturally. (Other statistics put the incidence of spontaneous triplets at 1 in 300,000!! Wow!!! God must really have a plan for us and these babies, ya think!? Well again please keep praying for the health of these babies and myself through this pregnancy. We will keep you all posted! Love, Stephanie, Micah and Kids

Tubing with the Baer family

So here are alot of pictures from going to the lake with the Baer family. It was so much fun! Laura had never been tubing or on a boat that size so I am really glad we went. She had a great time although today she is very sore:) I asked her if it was worth it and she said yes it was very fun! so anyways There are a ton of pictures but we just had so much fun and there were so many good times I had to post all of these! Enjoy!

Here is Bobby

Laura again

Jenna had the privledge of being the flag girl. So she was very intent on watching to make sure no one fell in the water and if they did she was quick to let Boomer know and raise the flag.

Adrianne and Brad on the tube

The lady sitting next to me said she just saw this boat thing driving on the street. She said you guy probably thing I've been smoking something but I am sure it was just driving through the parking lot..Sure enough (although we were not quick enough to catch a picture of it) we also saw it drive through the parking lot.

Some random funniness at home...


Marcus really likes wearing this way too small for him dog outfit while he walks around the house with Adrianne's build a bear dog that he dressed up. It's his baby.

Don't have much time...

So we have been really busy lately! We went to the coast for a week and while we were there we went to the Santa Barbara County Fair, had a birthday party for my nephew Tyler who turned one, went to the beach, ate lots of yummy food, went to Bakersfield on the way back, hung out with my parents and the Bako Jenkins/Love clan, came home swam, bowled and went to a giants game and today we are going to hang out and BBQ for a late birthday party Myles! Whew!!! And somewhere in all that as you all know now found out we are pregnant! July has been a busy, exciting, crazy fun month! So what I am getting at is; slowly but surly I will begin to post pictures of the past few weeks. It may take a while so check back often.
