Long time no type! ** Updated again with sad news.... **

Well, the wife went to the doctors again today and got our first picture of the kids and some heart beat info.

According to the doc 2 of the 3 have heartbeats in the 180 bpm range and the third is in the 160 bpm range.

So according to the old wife's tale, the higher heart rates are boys and the lower one's a girl!

Now I just have to get the wife used to the names Anakin, Luke and Leah......or should I go with Han, Chewie and Leah.... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Man, when you said you guys decided to get serious you weren't kidding! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Congrats!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Sad news...... the wife went to the doctors again today and the smaller of the three babies no longer has a heart beat. [img]frown.gif[/img]

The doctor said that this is common with multiple births, the two bigger babies basically hogged all of the "stuff" that they need to make it, and the smaller one...well, doesn't get what it needs.

Right now I'm feeling weird. Sad that one didn't make it, and at the same time relieved, because 2 will be easier then 3 on multiple fronts.

But anyway, no more Bo, Luke and Daisy.... now I'll have to push for Thema and Louise or Dante and Randall!

...or Sigmund and Roy.

Sad news even though very common. Worrying about 1 making it to term is hard enough let alone two or three.

Spore....do you mean Siegfried and Roy, the homo-suspiscious lion tamer dudes?

They bully in the womb too, eh?

Kinda sad to hear, Mac. But as Spock likes to say, "the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few...or the one".*

<font size="1">*actually Spock's younger and much smaller brother, Speck, said that at a bar one night before getting his ass kicked by many needy Romulans.</font>

If this makes you feel any better Mac, this is very common and until the Ultra Sound technology got to where it is now, most people were never even aware it was going on.

So while the modern medicine is good in that it points out things that would otherwise be missed, it occasionally points out things that we would have been fine with being ignorant of.

Very sad news [img]frown.gif[/img]
