Second Ultrasound!!

Ultrasound update today!!

We have wonderful news to share with all of you… Amber had her second ultrasound today (two weeks after the initial one) and found both babies to be just perfect!! Two babies with two heartbeats and looking like little tad poles, what a glorious sight! Baby A measured in at 8week and 6 days with a heart rate of 173 and Baby B measured in at 8weeks 4 days with a heart rate of 180!! May not be boys like some of you speculated with the last 128 heart rate! Haha…

It was wonderful to be on the phone while Amber had the ultrasound done. I could hear the Doc and hear the heart beats, albeit not very clearly with Annabelle trying to pop her popcorn popper at the same time!

Poor Amber was totally stressed out and not sleeping with worry.. I hope now she will rest easy and sleeps like a baby, or two! Please keep her in your prayers. I don’t want her to worry so much… God will take care of her and the babies!

One of John’s cousins had a baby Wednesday at 1230am! A beautiful baby boy named Marcus Stewart; please keep them in your prayers as well! Congrats to the happy mommy and family!


A side note about the journal… I have created a blog (same thing as a journal) on blogger.com.com and have moved all of the entries from easy journal there. I will try to post at both locations for a while but will soon move only to blogger. The link to the new journal is www.makingafamily-surrogacystyle.blogspot.com

This blog site is much more itnteractive with the ability to add videos and music, I just created ours last night and am really excited about really making it personal to our family.. There is a video of one of Annabelle’s first steps on there now if you want to check it out.. For those of you that check the journal regularly, DAD RUPPEL, make this new site a favorite of yours now! J

Please keep all our soldiers and their families in your prayers and bring them home safely. God bless you all and we love you!Carolyn (John, Annabelle and the doodlebugs!)
