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
