God is so so so good!

Hello Farrer family and friends,

We apologize for being MIA for so long but we come bearing good news. We had our first OB ultrasound last Monday, 8/15/2011. I was bracing myself for the worst while Micah was wondering if we would see 1 or 2 heartbeats. Well we both got the surprise of a lifetime! The Physicians Assistant performing the ultrasound told us that we were pregnant with not 1... OR 2... but 3 babies! Yes, we are expecting Triplets. I think all three of us in the room that day were surprised. All 3 of our babies had a visible heart beat and were the correct size, exactly what the doctors want to see. We can both say - with the exception of our wedding day - that this was the best day of our lives. And needless to say there was a sea of happy tears shed.
So I know you are probably thinking 'this does not make much sense' considering we only put two embryos in... Well one of them split, so we have a pair of identical twins and one fraternal twin; 2 + 1 = triplets. We are feeling 'beyond blessed' by our special gifts from God.
Unfortunately, having PCOS makes any pregnancy a high risk, and now that I'm caring multiples the risk is that much higher. We are scheduled to see a Perinatologist in 2 weeks and by then we should know more about what I can and cannot do, and what is and is not normal. Would you please continue to pray for our pregnancy and the three beautiful babies inside me.
With God's grace we will soon have many sleepless nights, but we will also have 3 times the amount of joy.
