The Peas at 7w4d...

The DR was finally able to get all 3 babies in 1 image!!! A different DR performed this u/s, so the babies aren't labeled as they were in previous u/s.

Chuck and I didn't know you could love a picture so much!!!

Measurements & Heartbeats

These aren't easy to see, but they're the u/s images with measurements and heartbeats. (I just learned if you click on the images... it will enlarge them... you can see them perfectly!)

From left to right... are A, B and C... The names changed this visit, b/c a different DR performed the u/s.

Baby A (slower heartbeat last week) measured 7w3d and had a heartbeat of 150... :)

Baby B measured 7w4d and had a heartbeat of 181... :)

Baby C measured 7w2d and had a heartbeat of 157 ... :)

Our fertility DR was pleased with the measurements and heartbeats, so yesterday we were released from their care to a regular OB and a Perinatologist.

We have our first appointment with the OBGYN on July 8. We also have our first appointment with the Perinatologist on July 13. I'm excited and nervous for both.

Chuck and I just ordered the book...



Which I can't wait to receive in the mail!!! I'm hoping it doesn't scare me too much.

I have a little queasiness and I'm very fatigued, but otherwise I'm just fabulous!!! I'm maintaining a very positive, realistic, yet optimistic attitude about this pregnancy, babies-to-be and my relationship/life now and in the future with Chuck.

Chuck and I are just so happy to be pregnant!!! We are very thankful to God for these little blessings!!! And to you for supporting and praying for our family-to-be!!! Thank you!!!

Lori and babies at 7 weeks.

Lori at 7 weeks, the only thing you really notice at this time is the big smile and wonderful glow.

On June 22, 2009, Chuck and I had the pleasure of hearing our little babies heartbeats for the first time.

Baby A & B (picture left) had 125 bpm and Baby C (picture right) had 83.33 bpm.

Baby C is a little shy and doesn't like group photo shots, so the doctor couldn't get all 3 together in 1 image.

We need prayer for my 3 Peas in a Pod... but Baby C needs extra, so please say a prayer for my family-to-be.

Surprise Mom and Dad... You're going to be Grandparents!!!

On June 5, 2009, Chuck and I surprised my Mom and Dad with a yummy cake that said, "We're Pregnant" on it! They were completely thrilled and ecstatic over the news!

Lori to you from me.

Hi Lori,

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am for you. I created this blog for you so we can share your happiness with all those who care and admire you. The saddest part of this venture is that you will be leaving us here at RLS Packaging to have and raise the 3 little peas in your pod.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share your story.

Congratulations Chuck and Lori !!!
