My wife just called earlier to inform me that the doctor she saw today in South Africa was feeling her belly up and said he thinks there are 3 babies in there and possibly four...My wife thinks so too!!!!!!!!:mute

For those of you who don't know...This was supposed to be JUST ONE baby! About three weeks back we were informed by an ultrasound that it is definately twins.

NOW THIS!!!! Monday they are going to do a more concise internal ultrasound...I'm kinda freaking out a little...Anyhow I'll be sure to fill you all in. I guess I AM happy about it...I just hope my wife will be o.k. through all of this.

I WILL BE ACCEPTING DONATIONS OF DIAPERS AND ALL OF THE FREEDIVING EQUIPMENT I DON'T YET HAVE...WHICH IS BASICALLY ALL OF IT! I am getting by with very sub-par gear at the moment!

Only joking about the donations.........But I can see that I won't have alot left over for freediving toys in a few months...Or much time to do it (freediving). BUT HEY...I WILL ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO GO FREEDIVIVG WITH IN ABOUT 10 YEARS OR SO!!!!!

My wife is due back here in 12 days....Finally...The Doctor says he may make her leave earlier....Because of the pregnancy...Not good to be flying I guess. She's about 5 months along and looks like she's nine months pregnant!!!!

P.S. - A few days ago I just paid over $200.00 for a double stroller! It was supposed to be a suprise for my wife when she returns...Now I may be taking that one BACK to Babie-R-Us to get a triple! Or heaven forbid - a four seater!

This is so crazy I think I need a Valium! Or three!

Congratulations mate! :friday. I'm sure everything will be perfect. Lots of sleepless nights ahead!
 
Don't laugh and don't cry! Call your ..kin bank manager you're going to need a loan for all those little shoes rofl
 
Oh jeeze..... quads! You are one lucky guy. :)

Grats. If that happens you can make full use of having 2 safety divers, a photographer, and youll just have to get one in SCUBA gear to be your below-the-plate backup rofl
 
Congratulations! Have selected any names yet?

Might I suggest... Constant Weight, Constant Ballast, Dynamic, and Static hahaha.

You will probably need anything and everything you could need... so heres some rep points :).

Well, congratulations for the Grand Slam! Four scores in just one at-bat, man ... it took me seven years to complete my quintet, some people are lucky :)
 
Y'know, back in the day the state used to step in with aid for multi-births of such magnetude. Now, with fertility drugs turning birthing in to litters I doubt that you will have much support from that angle. I'm torn between offering congratulations or sympathy . . .

:friday:
 
If it's quad's you better just sell off your dive gear, bows, guns, and other hunting stuff so that you can buy what you'll really need- an espresso maker!rofl

I had a good daddy, but he never had his speargun. hehehe Cause i had it bwahahah

At 26, i cannot imagine having even one. I would much rather borrow my nephew and teach him tricks.

Don't joke about donations. :( You need to start bumming like a pro if there are 3 or 4 little wonders. Ask for things like infant swim lessons, nannys, spare perscription meds, sponsorships.... You might even find you can spare a soul or two to sell to the devil. Sadly, my brother and nephew never had a chance as i believe my sis in law to be, at the least, a lesser minion who has purchased both of them at tax foreclosure.

Also it is important that you read them dprblue posts and archives every night before bed so as to ....imerse them in the way.
 
Congatulations!(I think) Hope Your Mrs and babies are all well throughout.

I'd definately go with Cry though :D
 
Hmmm, this is when you may need freediving the MOST; it'll be the ONLY place where it'll be QUIET!

Diver Todd nailed it! It's the only quiet place you'll have for the next 20 years! :DLaugh, cry, and get ready to practice your statics while changing quad diapers! rofl rofl rofl rofl! Congratulations on the beginnings of your own crew!:friday

BTW, are these your first?
 
Whatever happens, whether there are just two or more on the way, I wish you and your family the very best. In Spain we have a saying that children come with a loaf of bread under the arm, i.e., they bring prosperity, so get ready to eat a lot of sandwhiches! :D

Thats good news, there will be no wondering 'shall we have another' for the next few years. This way when they have left home in 20 - 25 years and you get your life back you can dive again. If you had four with a three year gap between each that would mean 32 - 37 years ish before diving again.

Group discounts, its the way forward. 4 playstation 6's or whatever is around when they are old enough has got to be cheaper??


See ya...
 
OMG!!! Bgill!

You should cry, from happiness. This is really something! It is such a rare phenomenon and now I will know the guy who's quattropapa, see, I laugh and I think You should do the same. Hey, whatever life brings, You can take it all. You gonna be fine, and maybe some people (like me) will take Your "donations joke" seriously:friday And freediving? just think of Whopperhead, he's got three little girls yet he's in the water more often than most of non-dads If he can manage to dive every weekend, You should be able to dive every second in worst case

OK, that may be little too optimistic... well, he's girls are like two years apart

Well...Tommorow I'll now FOR SURE if its just two babies, or three or four! :)

I have'nt been able to sleep very well since my wife told me what the doctor said about her abdomen feeling like there is 3 in there! My wife says she swears she can feel three in there too!

I'll be sure to post what I learn tomorrow....After I swig down a couple of whisky sours!:eek:
 
After reading these posts- my face hurts from laughing rofl. I feel your Pain- I am willing to help out where ever needed. I wouldn't worry about freediving/Spearing - you may not be able to do it for a few months - but once it warms up again- I bet your wife lets you go once in awhile to gain your peace of mind :head . You may also want to think about getting neutered :crutch Man, I can't even imagine 3 at once! All I can say is "HOLY CRAP!" oh, and Congrats! :friday:chatup



And Nice knowing you. Remember me when your ready to sell your Yak :t

getting Neutered kinda feels like this!
ouch.jpg
