8/25 U/S at Dr. Herzog's Office

Baby D

Baby C

Baby B

Baby A

On Monday, we got to go to Dr. Herzog's office again for another u/s to check the babies' heartbeats! It was a perfect appointment! We got to see all 4 babies individually and even got to hear baby A's heartbeat! They all looked great!


Next week I have an appt. with the high risk doctor down the hall, Dr. Albert. Him, Dr. Herzog, and Dr. Herzog's partner Dr. Kaye will make up the team of doctors taking care of this pregnancy! It helps me feel so much more reassured that I have 3 docs working on this pregnancy!

I have been reading this book about multiples that is very highly recommended by everyone I talk to. I cannot believe some of the information I have found out!! Up until now, I didnt realize how important it was to be eating the recommended 4500 calories a day!!! That is just crazy! By 24 weeks, my uterus will be the size of a 40 week pregnancy and at that point eating enough will be way too difficult. So this doctor is recommending that I eat tons now, so I can to store for later when I dont have any room. It is so hard to get in that mindset after having just lost 25 pounds! I know it is for the best though so Wendy's here I come lol!

Thanks to the Ott's for babysitting Eva yesterday during our appointment! That helped us so very much and she loved it too! Thanks to the Comito family for giving us a free crib! OMG! That is such a help! Also, thanks to
Tom and Tracy in Keller that gave us a free crib! You guys are so sweet!

WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!

WE ARE PREGNANT!!!

Not 1 baby either.......Not 2 babies either.........Not 3 babies either.......


WE ARE PREGNANT WITH QUADRUPLETS!!! 4 BABIES!!!

Our family already knows the great news but we thought it would be fun to break the news this way to all of our friends! We are so excited. We found out we were pregnant on our first try about 2 weeks ago. Since I dont ovulate on my own, we had to take some medication to make me ovulate. When I first started taking it, my body was extremely resistant and the medication just was not working. So the doctor started us up again on it but increased the dose, but for some odd reason, my body was hypersensitive to it now! So, I overstimulated and created 4 babies (with the help of my wonderful dear husband Trever lol)....

I got my HCG blood levels drawn on the 5th of August and they were at 468!!! Eva's was only in the 100's at that point in my pregnancy with her. So we had a suspicion we were carrying more than one. We thought twins, triplets at the most... So this past Monday we went in to see Dr. Herzog and sure enough 4 sacs! I about fell off of the table in shock! Trever was way excited! All of the babies had heartbeats except Baby D, but we could see it's yolk sac and fetal pole. That entire day we were crying every ten minutes, clearing out the nursery, excited, crying again etc!

Yesterday, (Friday the 22nd) I had my final appt. with my RE and we saw that Baby D had a heartbeat! We were so relieved and we know it is because of all of the prayers that went out on that little's ones behalf!

We are doing great!
I have had a pretty constant nausea all day for the past 2 weeks but nothing worse than that. I feel extremely fatigued and when 8 o'clock at night hits, I am out for the count. My pants are already starting to get tight, as my uterus is already the size of a 12 week pregnancy. I am trying to eat as much as possible (I should be eating 3500 calories a day) but the nausea makes that pretty impossible! I have lost 4 pounds since finding out I am pregnant, and that is despite my craving for chili cheese burritos!

So, we have been looking for a new car that can accomodate 5 children and doing anything else we can just because I have impending bed rest at 20 weeks! Only 13 more weeks! So today a lady offered to give us a crib so we will be going to Ft. Worth to get that. She is such a doll! We are spending as much time with Eva as we know she will have to share that time with 4 other babies in the near future. My next appt. is Monday the 25th! Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers and think happy thoughts for us!! We love you all!

Oh and the u/s shown only shows 3 sacs because the tech couldnt get the 4th one in.

WE HAVE A BLOG...FINALLY!

We have finally succeeded in creating The King Family Blog. I guess this is the only way I can keep up with letting the family know how we are doing. Eva is one now, and man has time just flown by. She is all over the place and doesnt like to sit still for one second. But we are loving every minute of our time with her! Trever has been super busy with Real Estate and I am getting ready for a Fall Carnival that I have a booth for. I will be selling my bows and Uppercase Living stuff there.
