We are... Preggers!!

Well, it's official!! We are PREGNANT!! I can speak for Lori and I (and the husbands) and say we are more than thrilled! We are still unsure of the "official" due date of baby #2, but it seems to be in the early part of December. So another December baby, yay!! Our second beta hCG levels came back yesterday at 154! Which is around 3x what we expected - it needed to at least double, but it almost quadrupled. So thankful! God really has been teaching us to be more patient and reliant on Him. Can I take a minute and just thank Him - Thanks God! We always knew something amazing was going to happen with Lori (family) & I. We are having a baby!!! Our last beta hCG levels will be drawn tomorrow morning, then we will have to wait until April 4 for our first ultrasound. We were originally planning on having it April 13, since that was the soonest Lori could have a day off to take it, but since Ryan has the 4th off and Lori's son is on spring break, we convinced our nurse to let us come in on the 4th instead of having one later on the 13th. We are praying we will be able to see something, our baby (ies!) at this appointment. We think we will be 5 weeks, 3 days. If we don't see much, we will do it again on the 13th. We also will have the big ultrasound room as Joe and Ryan cannot miss out on seeing this. We had to sacrifice at the transfer, no way will that happen at this ultrasound. We are praying that both embryos are snug in the penthouse suite. The idea of twins is a tiny bit nerve wrecking, but if God gives it to us, I know we will be able to handle it and handle it amazingly!! <3  Whenever we talk to Clark about whether he wants a brother or sister or if he wants one baby or two, he always says three! One or three according to him. I think when he told Lori he wanted three babies her face went pale ;-) (haha just kidding.) God has provided so much for us already, that I have full faith that whatever He gives us, will be a huge blessing! 6 days and counting until we get a sneak peek at our little baby (ies!)
