Everyone in our house was anxious to find out what we were having. There were bets and conversations about whether it would be two boys, a girl and a boy, or two girls. Everyone had an opinion and a secret wish about what they thought we were having. Only Lucy was confident in her choice. Since the day we found out we were having twins, Lucy has insisted without wavering, that we are having two girls. Trying to have a conversation about it with Lucy proved pointless, because she knew that inside my tummy were two baby girls.
On the morning of the ultra-sound Andrew came with me. I was a little nervous going into it. Nervous about the genders, nervous about any abnormalities they might find, nervous about how our kids would react to the news. There was a lot on my mind as we went into the appointment. All those fears went away, however, as the lights dimmed and the images of our two babies flashed across the screen. Two little hearts beat, arms waved wildly, legs kicked and I marveled that all that activity was going on inside my body.
The tech measured and examined and viewed everything from all angles. Andrew and I were just caught up in watching these two babies inside me. When it came time to discover the genders, these two babies decided to be modest and made the tech really work to discover what we were having.
After all her efforts, it turns out that all we really needed to do was listen to Lucy. She was right all along. Sometime in February or March we will be welcoming two baby girls to our family. It's so funny to think that it wasn't too long ago that I wondered if Abby would ever get another sister. I was so delighted and relieved when we learned that Lucy would be a girl and that at long last Abby would have a sister. Now, I can hardly believe that the girls will outnumber the boys and that I will be lucky enough to have four girls. How crazy is that!?
Thanks to Laura for making these cupcakes when I didn't have the energy!
The night of the ultrasound we announced the exciting news to our families and everyone was so excited. Abby was so nervous before we told her that she was nearly in tears. I've never seen a girl so happy as Abby was when she found out we were having two girls.
We are all so excited and feel so blessed to have these two sweet babies coming to our family soon - now we just need to come up with some names!
