It's a Girl...And a Boy!

And trust me, we are just as shocked as all of you. We went to our first ultra-sound appointment this morning, and got the surprise of a life-time. But since Travis usually doesn't come to my normal appointments, I guess this was the best time to find out. One is a boy and the other a girl. They are both on their own individual food sources and each is measuring right at 20 weeks. Which is where we are, so that's great! I'm sure some of you are wondering how in the world you get half way through a pregnancy and have no idea your having twins. Well, when my Doctor has done sonograms in the past he listens for just a minute, hears a healthy heart beat, and says, "baby sounds fine." And that's it. No reason to look for two if you don't know the other is there. For those of you who are still a little sceptical, here are a few of the many pictures we got.

Obviously this is the two of them together. See TWO... I told you Char! I guess it is pretty tough to get a shot with each of them in profile, but this is pretty good.


This is our little boy. It was good that neither of them was very shy.



And last, but certainly not least, is our little girl. Yes, those of you that are wondering, she is sucking her thumb. Whatever you are thinking, I thought it long before, I promise!

We are very excited! Reeling...but excited. Oh, and twins do not run in either side, and no fertility drugs were used in the process, which made it an even bigger shocker!

Congrats guys. As I think I told you already...Joe's brother and sister-in-law just had twins in Oct. 1 boy and 1 girl. She made it full term and they measured right on too. They were both 6 lb babies. You can look at their blog off of ours. Good luck. How fun and exciting... Grant and Tasha are still reeling and it's been 6 months today. They have 4 under 6. :)
