We found out what we're having!

The only picture I have of twin B is of private parts! Not that you can tell much from the picture, but she couldn't get any profiles of the second one.

Well, we found out what we're having! It worked out perfectly. I have been feeling good for just over a week now and then I started worrying that maybe I was feeling good because there was something wrong with a baby. (So annoying that these are my thoughts) So I can only feel one baby move, and of course when I went in for my appointment they could barely hear one heart beat. I do have a tilted uterus, whatever that means. But that makes it hard to hear the heart beats with a doppler. Anyway, I was late for my appointment and I missed the doctor, he had to go into surgery. So the only person left at the office that could do ultrasounds was the lady who just does them all day in a big room with a new ultrasound machine.

So the nurse finally just sent us in there, I was so glad because the little traveling ultrasound machines aren't nearly as nice as the big one. So we went in and the first thing she told us was that they both look great and healthy. What a relief! Then she spent a long time trying to be 100% sure what they were. It turns out we're having two girls! Fraternal twins too. That's pretty uncommon if you don't have twins running in your family. (So I've read) So we are just really excited. I was really hoping to have at least one girl. Now that we're having two it's just so different than what I thought that I have to rethink everything!
She said that twin A looked like it was measuring a week behind but twin B looked right on time. It'll be so fun watching these two grow! I'm just starting to get excited for these babies, but there's still that shadow hanging over of how hard it's going to be. I hope I can really focus on enjoying these babies instead of all the hard things that'll come with them.


I've been really busy working this week and Asher had had it the other night and was ready for some attention. So I went out to the park with him and was just trying to spend some time with him. He grabbed my phone when I wasn't paying attention and when I realized what he was doing I was just too slow! He threw it in that huge drain at the park. It's like a 7 foot drop and it fell into like 2 feet of water! So I have NO ONES phone numbers! So annoying. So if everyone could leave me their phone numbers that would help!

Thanks, and any tips for girls too!

So glad you mentioned the lots because I totally forgot to tell Jason about it. I do have to say that girls are super fun- I just wish I had more money to buy her all the super cute clothes out there. Dude- you are so going to need a shower, thought about that yet?? I'm up to the task if the position is open...we'll talk. Also, have you thought of names yet? you better get on that, you're already half way through your pregnancy and you have not 1 but 2 names to pick out. That sounds hard!
Glad your hair turned out:)
