And the Ultrasound Said...




Today we had THE ultrasound--the one to tell us the genders of the babies. To our great delight, surprise, and excitement, we found out that we are having...two BOYS!! Daddy David had a big smile on his face (of course, I did, too!). All of the necessary parts were there, including arms, legs, hands, feet, heads, and hearts. They were beautiful! Of course, there were so many baby parts to see that the ultrasound tech had to keep explaining, "This is Baby A's arm" and "This is Baby B's leg..." Wow, and to think that they will keep growing??!!

The first picture shows Baby A's profile, and the second picture shows Baby B's profile (with the edge of his brother's head on the right of the picture). David is excited that he won't be so outnumbered now! When we first told the girls, Katie smiled really big, put her hand over her mouth in disbelief, and said, "That's just what I wanted!" And FYI--the babies are in separate sacs, which means that they could be either identical or fraternal twins. So, it will be a few months after they are born before we will know. If anybody has advice on boys, I'd be happy to hear it...I won't have any idea how to fix their hair, if I can't put a bow in it! :)

Well...how awesome is that? I'm so excited for y'all. 2 girls and 2 boys! If you can convince David for 2 more, y'all could be the Brady Bunch. (I'm giggling just thinking about David if that were to happen).

What a great Christmas gift. Keep us posted.
