I was watching Jon and Kate Plus 8 the other day, and had an "aha" moment, as Oprah would say. They were doing a viewer question/answer session. One of the emailed questions asked them how they ended up with sextuplets...their answer was IUI. On Friday (approximately) we will be doing our 3rd IUI treatment. To be honest, I feel pretty educated with the whole IUI (also called artificial insemination) so I was well aware of the "risks" of a multiple births. However, as much as I have read and prepared, nothing spells it out quite like this:
I realize the odds are like 1 in a million, but lets be honest the odds are there. I feel like whatever Heavenly Father has in store for us we will be able to handle. But right now this is how I am feeling (and don't be afraid to join me in this): WHOOOOAAAA!!!!!!

aww linds! thanks for posting that you'll be doing another IUI on friday...we'll keep you in our prayers, and be sending preggo vibes your way! you and jared will make wonderful parents, and i know that it will happen when those little spirits are ready to come! good luck...i'll be thinking of you!
Wow! That is a whole lot of belly! I guess the benefit is not having to go through 6 pregnancies for 6 kids. More bang for your buck, right?
Good luck to you guys!
good luck on friday. That lady at the end is REALLY big. I have seen big bellys at work, but not that big.
I thought they said it wasn't IUI. . . but you would know the terms better than me :)
By the way Sarah wanted me to let you know that she had a friend exactly like you. They couldn't find anything "wrong" but they did their first round of in vitro recently and are now pregnant with twins. . . I hope this is how it works out for you too.
Ohh We love that show! Those kids are so dang cute. Stay strong friend everything will work out. Maybe you will have like 5 and you will be done sweet!
Look how they rose to the occasion. I know that you both trust heavenly father and know that he is looking out for you. Good luck with everything and know that all the other Wilkins are praying for you. Love ya guys!!
dont you just love that show, bradley not so much but i watch ever night he has a sleep study, or everynight that it is on. good luck on this try!!!! ill pray for you guys!
gosh that sure is a BIG belly. can you imagine how much her belly skin had to stretch to get that big?? yikes!
and i SO SO wish you luck on this third IUI. i read in one of your frinds comments about adoption?? is that something you guys are thinking about? well we have our first appt april 10th! i'm so dang nervous.
I love love love that show! My husband hates it so bad! Can you imagine what that would be like? I think though, that once you have had to struggle anything more than one would be like a bonus....even if it IS a ton of work.
Let me ask you this about the whole IUI process...is it really painful, or is it mostly an emotional thing? I find all of it so amazing.
Whoa! I didn't know any of this! I mean I know about Jon and Kate, they are like my best friends (in my mind) but I didn't know you guys were doing IUI! Good luck with that I will keep you in my prayers!
ps. I saw your page on Kelseys page, I hope thats okay.
I like that show too... but I always think, how in the world would you do 6 at one time? Good luck to you guys!! You are a good person and you'll be blessed! I know it.
