Babies Times FIVE

My sister in law sent me the link to this blog last night and I spent a good hour reading all of the entries from the very beginning, just fascinated by what this woman is experiencing. As the blog title states, it is a woman pregnant with quintuplets. Ack!! She is LDS and almost done with her pregnancy, but she has documented things pretty much from the beginning. What struck me was how the hand of the Lord has helped her from the very beginning. How things worked out with work, where family is located, and most importantly, her BODY. She has completed 33 weeks of pregnancy with five babies inside of her. All are healthy and almost normal singleton weight (EACH). And she has had very few complications, all things considered. I know people with one baby in them who are on equal bedrest and have more hospital visits than she has had (though she is in the hospital full time right now). I'm sure Heavenly Father has great things in store for those babies and their family. And if you don't have time to read all of the entries, she says in there that her doctor ORDERED her to try to consume 5000 calories every day. Studies showed that multiples born to women who consumed massive amounts of calories faired better, weighed more, and had fewer defects. Interesting, huh?
