They are.......

Baby A is a........BOY!

Just looking at Jacob's face when the doctor told us that one was a boy was PRICELESS! While I know that he would have been happy with any outcome, I wanted him to have a little boy and I knew he really wanted one too!

Baby B is a........GIRL!
Our sweet little girl! I can't wait to have mommy/daughter dates with her...and I know that she will have Jacob wrapped around her little finger!

Their little heads next to each other!

We had a very exciting and emotional day today! To say that I was nervous this morning would be a huge understatement! I had faith that everything would be good with both babies, but just that little reassurance makes all of the difference in the world! This doctor was able to measure their head, their limbs, as well as check for certain disabilities. Both babies looked perfect and each weigh 9 ounces! He measured their feet and said that they are 1 inch each! So sweet! Jacob and I held hands throughout the whole appointment and as the doctor talked, I found myself being in awe and wiping away tears at different times! The sweetest thing was when he was looking at our little boy and then said "now, lets look at his sister!" Just hearing that made my heart melt and I can not wait to hold these sweet babies in our arms this summer!


I have learned that I will practically live at the doctor throughout this, but that is completely fine with me so that I can see them as they grow and develop! We do have names picked out, but we want to tell all of our family first, so check back soon to find out what they are!

I have been completely overwhelmed at the number of phone calls, texts, facebook messages, etc....and knowing we have such an amazing support system is wonderful...thank you!! :)

  4. Congrats! This will be so much fun for both of you! You don't even realize how much a mom can love a "dirty" little boy and daddies love the pig tails!! Can't wait to hear the names you've picked out!
