We prayed for one more tiny little blessing for our family of 4... and got 4 more!
You know, I have to be cliche and say "Never in a million years did I think this would happen to us". After careful consideration of our little family - my husband, myself, and our two children Angel (12) and Munch (1) - my husband and I decided to to try for one more. I need some help in this department, so off we went to my wonderful fertility Dr. to start the treatment again. We assumed it would take us a few months at least to conceive again. After one failed Clomid cycle in August, we switched right to injectables in September (Folistim, Ovidrel, and Ganarilex) with IUI (just for good measure, lol)... Well, it worked... too well! The Dr showed me our little quadlets - A,B,C, and D. No heart beats yet - it was too early.
In the office I could do little else but laugh (horrible nervous habit that tends to come about in the most inappropriate situations) and only utter the phrase "uh-huh". As I was leaving the office I was still laughing and positive that the others in the waiting room got a little worried for me. As soon as I was in the car, I called my hubby at work to share the news. Our conversation went as follows:
Me: "Hey babe, just out of the office and all looks good. I'm fine and they're fine as well!"
Hubby: "They're fine.... how many are fine?"
Me: "Guess" (you know I had to make him do it)
Hubby: "Four"
Me: "YUP!" - No conversation continued really from this point... most of it was laughter.
He actually called back multiple times that day, asked how I was doing and just continued laughing! I have found that sheer and utter shock will do that to people. So, we had to wait a week to see if there are heart beats for each little baby to tell if the pregnancy is actually viable.
