The Twins Are...

...GIRLS!

We went to the doctor yesterday and found out that the babies are girls. We are so excited. I have all these ideas bouncing around in my head for their room and names and hair and just everything. It was the weirdest feeling to watch them move around (they were quite wiggly) and not be able to feel it. I know we were hoping they were a boy and a girl but I am honestly suprised at how NOT disappointed we both are. I can't imagine it any other way now. We're toying around with a few different names however we may just have to wait and see them before making a firm decision; but we'll see. If we decide I will for sure let you all know. The babies heart rates were: Baby A 146 bpm and Baby B 140 bpm. Which is interesting because they have the same gap in beats per minute that they did during our first appointment. Of course, Hutch gave me the scare talk about Twin to Twin transfusion since they are the same gender and now we aren't sure that they are fraternal, so we will watch that closely. He also gave me the go ahead for delivery at IMC although he isn't going to deliver there anymore after October; but he said he would make a special trip for me. He also said that once things get closer he will give us his cell number to make sure he is the one to deliver even if he isn't the 'on-call' doctor. I also was offered the genetic testing and declined. I just figured that it wouldn't make a difference one way or another so we're not doing the test. Overall, it was a fun appointment, we have one next month to do the anatomy check on both babies. The ultrasound tech said to plan on at least 1 1/2 hours for that and I must NOT go to the little girls room for at least 4 hours before, so it will be interesting to see if I pee on the table (I'll keep you posted). Both Josh and Mom are coming with me so it's going to be a cramped room. Anyway here are a few pictures of the babies and their bums.

Baby A

Baby B

If you look close, Baby A has her hands behind her head like she's relaxing. I guess they all get their own little personality, even this early.

Update on the House: Well the car is officially totalled. We got that all taken care of last week. So now we are just waiting to see how the money looks with me not working as much and then maybe we'll get something new. Right now I am driving the truck and Josh is riding his scooter. The house is going through repairs as I type. We got the support beams put back in place and the garage door on. We're just waiting on the stucco and the new windows. So it's coming along.
