Afghan Veteran Home for Quadruplets’ Birth

These are such great stories and I can’t help back from sharing them:

An Army soldier deployed in Afghanistan is on a two-week leave to witness his wife give birth to quadruplets in Nevada.

Army Spec. Joe Shatswell, 22, has been reunited with his wife, Darah, in Reno, where she is in a hospital awaiting the birth in the next several days.

She will mark her 30th week of pregnancy Tuesday. Doctors hope the babies will weigh at least 3 pounds each.

“We’re kind of nervous and excited,” Darah Shatswell told Gardnerville’s Record-Courier newspaper. “You wait forever for something, then it is just around the corner. The faster, the better, but whatever is best for the babies.”

Joe Shatswell had not seen his wife since the couple found out they were having quadruplets.

The pregnancy was a surprise because the Shatswells decided to wait until after his deployment ends in July 2009 to expand their family. They have a 2-year-old daughter, Zowie.

Darah Shatswell, 24, said her husband would be able to stay in Nevada until the end of October before he returns to Afghanistan.

The Shatswells, stationed in Fort Hood, Texas, relocated to Gardnerville, about 45 miles south of Reno, over the summer after they discovered the quadruplets were on the way.

The couple have family there.

The community has rallied around the couple, donating everything from diapers and quilts to gift cards.

You think he’ll have a lot on his mind when he gets back? Here’s an earlier story prior to his return.

    I know this couple personally, I’ve known them for years, she is due to have them babies any day now. He’s already home for his R&R, and he can’t wait to see his new children. The only thing is he’s being overwelmed with news crews and everything. Thank you for posting this one the net.
