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

Hey All!!

Well, it's been a while since I posted anything. I've lurked a couple times, but for the most part I've just been swamped and staying away.

And from the looks of things I'm only about to become WAY MORE swamped.

Some of you may know, and for those who don't, my wife and I have been trying to have a second child for the past 4 years with no luck. My wife and I were both on all kinds of fertility drugs (that made my wife crazy and made my punching bag swell up and feel weird), and in May we decided to quit playing around and throw down the king's ransom and do In Vetro Fertilization.

They pulled my wife's eggs on June 30th, shot my swimmers into 'em over that weekend and put 'em back in her July 3rd. About two weeks ago we found out that the procedure was a success, and my wife's pregnant!

The part that has me freaking is just how well everything worked. They implanted 3 fertilized eggs into my wife, and since twins runs in her family (a fact that I wish I'd have known BEFORE agreeing to go through with this) there is a snowball's chance in hell that each of the 3 eggs could split off into 2 I may end up with 3 sets of identical twins....Sectuplets!!

Like I said, it's a snowball's chance, but knowing my dumb luck I'll be taking that snowball straight in the face!

We go for our first ultrasound where they should be able to count the different heartbeats next Tuesday, so I'll be freakin' till then.

Anyway, that's my news, just thought I'd share.
