Mastercard Commercial

Oh my goodness.  I just read one of my friends' blogs from my multiples group and let me just set the stage...  She has a 2 year old girl, then triplets (BBG) that are the same age as our girls.  They went through fertility drugs and IVF for both of their pregnancies.  They posted a video like the Mastercard commercials, it was so creative I just have to share.  Fertility drugs - $10,000,  2 IVF procedures - $20,000, 3 babies in the NICU - $800,000, 4 babies in diapers for 1 year - $1760, formula for triplets for one year - $7484,  finding out you CAN conceive naturally afterall...PRICELESS.  She is due in OCTOBER!
WHAATT????  i absolutely flipped out.  In 6 months, she is going to have FIVE kids ages 3 -1-1-1-0.  OHHHH MYYY.  We hope she can have at least one potty trained before the baby comes.  If I ever have a rough day, I'm going to call Kathryn.  CRRAAAZZY!  God's plans always amaze me!!  I am so excited for her and WOW! I guess I just can't imagine what they are going through right now!  I thought I was blown away with having triplets but THAT has got to REALLY shock someone when you think you truly can't have any more!  (She even sold all of her baby stuff AND maternity clothes cuz they were so sure they couldn't have any more!)  Ahh! Soo...
Since you have all been such a huge prayer support to us...I was wondering if you could lift up their family in prayer as well.  Especially because her husband found out that he just got laid off too.  Wow.  A LOT going on over there. (He worked in print sales before so if anyone has any connections..)  Please join me in praying for them.  THANKS so much!!
