the unveiling of the sexes...

so...we went yesterday for our gender confirmation appointment and we are happy to report that we are having a boy and girl!! we are ecstatic!!

it was quite funny actually the way it happened. they were running about thirty minutes late, and my bladder was about to burst from drinking all the water they need you to for the ultrasound! so keep in mind, we knew that we had at least one boy going into this. as soon as i laid down, i mean, not even five seconds had passed and she said, "well, baby a is definitely a girl!" it took jason and i probably a good minute to register what she said, but once it did, we were thrilled! and then just to be sure, she moved onto baby b and sure enough, there was our boy!


they both measure right about 10 cm right now and baby a's heartbeat was 156 and baby b's 140. it's amazing how they are growing so quickly!


the other really funny thing this time around was that their movements were night and day from two weeks ago. last time, baby a (little girl) was moving nonstop - squirming, kicking, rolling around, but baby b (little boy) barely moved. he just sat there chilling the entire time. the ultrasound tech even tried to poke and prod him, but to no avail. jason and i were actually a little concerned something was wrong with baby b. but yesterday, roles were completely reversed. baby a was just resting peacefully, while baby b was all over the place! so that definitley gave us some comfort.


our latest pics ( you can click on the images to enlarge if you wish)...







this is baby a...our little girl!

not sure if you can make out the bottom pic, but this was the proof that she was indeed a girl!












and here we have baby b...our baby boy!
for the bottom pic, if you can imagine he was sitting on top of a glass table and you were looking up from below, you're looking at his little bum and legs.








so there you have it...a boy and a girl! let the planning begin!

news for you...

so now the blog has been set up, but unfortunately i haven't made too much headway on it.

so the news for the past month?!

jason and i are expecting! and...not just one baby, but two! i am currently at 16 weeks and our due date is january 24th. this is the due date for a regular 40-wk pregnancy, but with twins it is 37 weeks. so...that just means little "a" and "b" may very well be here by the end of the year!

we went in for some testing a couple of weeks ago and just for fun we also did what they call a "jack and jill" test (aka gender determination). we just got the results back and what they can tell us so far is that we have a boy in the mix! question now is...one boy or two?!! we go back at the end of this week for a confirmation ultrasound, so hopefully if all goes well, we'll know for sure!

meet baby a and baby b...
