We are doing okay today. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support. Your thoughts and prayers really mean a lot to us. We love hearing from each of you, both through email and the comments left on the site.
There's not a whole lot to talk about today. We're just getting ready for the weekend. Alli's going to grandma's tonight, Chrissy's going to scrapbook with some of her friends, and I have a couple of buddies coming over to help me work on the kitchen. We're currently in the process of remodeling it. I can't wait to get it done. I'll upload some pictures when we get it finished. I'm not sure how much we will actually accomplish tonight though. I'm providing beer for everyone to show my appriciation for the help. I would bet that more beer gets consumed than work gets accomplished. That's usually how it works. :)

Sad News
Unfortunately things didn't go the way we had hoped this morning when we went for our ultrasound. One of the babies stopped growing sometime shortly after our last appointment and has passed away. There's really no way to tell why this happened. All we know is that God has his reasons and we have comfort in that.
Chrissy and I are okay. We are having some really mixed emotions right now though. It's kind of bitter sweet. I feel bad saying that but it's how we are both feeling. On one hand, we are upset because we had started planning our future with the quads. It's really hard to think that we had a little baby that we will never get to meet. On the other hand, God knows what he's doing. Maybe this child was going to have some serious illness or disability. Also, this will give the other three ( and Chrissy) a better chance of coming through the pregnancy healthy. It's been a hard day, but we can't dwell on it too long. We still have triplets to get ready for. Please say a prayer for the one we lost as well as the three who remain. They still have a long road ahead of them as well.
Here are the 10 week ultrasounds.

Pregnancy Progress - 10 Weeks
Today is the beginning of the tenth week. It's hard to believe that we are about a third of the way through this pregnancy already! It doesn't seem possible. Everything is going really good so far. Chrissy hasn't had any morning sickness at all. That's a blessing in itself! She's just been really tired lately. That's normal though. I remember she was pretty tired her first trimester with Allison too. It will probably get better in the next couple of weeks. Then again, I have no idea with quads. She may end up being tired the entire time. Who knows?! I wanted to get a picture of her belly tonight so I could add it to this post but she was already sleeping. We'll do that tomorrow I guess.
We have an appointment in the morning for our next ultrasound. It's at 8:30 am. Man, that makes me nervous! We keep getting surprised each time we go. The first time they told us we were having triplets. That was shocking enough. Then the last time we went, it turned into quads. If we walk in there tomorrow and they tell us that we're having quints, I'm probably going to have a nervous breakdown! We don't really want anymore surprises. :)

Ann & Tim's Wedding
Ann (Chrissy's sister) & Tim got married on 07/07/07.
Chrissy, Alli, & I were all in the wedding.
Allison was such a beautiful flower girl! She loved her new dress!
When we left the church, we all went to a little park nearby. Although it was close to our house, I had never been there before. It was a great place to take pictures.
The reception was a blast too! We danced and partied until the wee hours of the morning.
Even the quads were having fun!!!!
It was a beautiful wedding and a wonderful day! A great time was had by all. Congratulations Ann & Tim! We love you guys.

More to Come
Hi All! Chrissy and I were in a wedding over the weekend and the preparations last week kept us very busy. That's why we haven't updated the site in a week or so. Mom and babies are all fine. We'll be working on the site tonight and adding lots of pictures, etc. Anyway, I just wanted to add a quick note so that people didn't think there was something wrong. :)
