We are having..........

A BOY and a GIRL!!!

We had our 4th ultrasound today......I seriously feel like I am at the dr.'s office every week....oh wait, I am. Okay, so today was our BIG appointment to find out the sex of the babies and to make sure that everything is going as planned. Today seemed to be the longest day because I was so excited to find out. I had a dream last night that we were having 2 girls and when Travis found out, he started to cry. The thought of him having, a wife, two daughters and two chihuahua's, just stresses him out. It was actually kind of funny though because the dr. first looked at Twin A and saw that it was a GIRL,(which note from the previous blog I was right), I looked at Travis's face and of course he was so happy, but in his head, I knew he was a bit nervous. She measured perfect (of course) and then he went to Twin B, who he immediately saw it was a BOY! Travis's face completely lit up and it felt complete. A boy and a girl. It couldn't be more perfect! He also measured perfectly. The girl is a little bit bigger than the boy, which in the last ultrasound, it was the boy that was bigger, so it's nice to see she's growing and already beating him up-she was punching him in the ultrasound. It was hilarious bc during the last ultrasound, it was the opposite, he was kicking her.

The dr. measured everything, their stomachs, hearts, femurs, brains, etc. and he said that they look very good!! What a relief! He also said that they are big for babies, even if they were a singleton, they'd be on the bigger side, which makes me scared bc I already feel huge and I can't imagine them being any bigger. They already are 7 inches long and weight about 9 ounces. The size of a mango. I always refer to them as a fruit. Last week they were the size of a large orange.

We got some cute pictures, which I know that they will love when they are older. They are definately a boy and a girl. The pictures are very obvious! And no dad- you can't blow these pictures up to a 11 X 17. My last ultrasound picture, my dad took it to Kinko's and got it blown up to a 11 X 17. He keeps it in his office as his "First" picture of his grandkids. He's so cute!!!

This day was just too perfect! I immediately left and went and bought a couple of outfits for them. I couldn't resist. I am already half way done with the pregnancy and can't believe how fast time has gone by. However, i do wish it'd go by faster because i don't particularly like being pregnant. You have absolutely NO control over your body, it is now controlled by the babies, but I might as well get used to it, because life will soon be controlled by them when they are born.

Anyways, this is just so perfect-too perfect for words. I truely believe that everything happens for a reason. You go through tough times in life and if you survive and learn from your mistakes and misfortune, in the end you will be truely rewarded!!! From now on, I want to be the best person I can be because I want to continue going down this path I am currently on. This is a big year for Travis and I. We are going to be parents to two incredibly perfect babies and have a lot of change in our lives, but most importantly we are doing it together and I love him with all my heart:)

Lily and Lucy have no idea what is coming........

Miss everyone!!
