A Change...or More of the Same
Wednesday was our big ultrasound appointment. We were hoping to find out what these babies are. So, we got in there and she did what she needed to to check the health and growth of the babies. Everything looked just right. They weigh 12 and 13 ounces and are 7 inches from head to bum. These babies are so active, it was really fun to see them move all around. Anyway, on to the news we really were anxious to know. Baby A looks to be a girl and Baby B looks to be a girl, too! So yes, as many people have told us, we will have 4 girls. I'll be honest, there was some disappointment. I was so sure that there would be at least one boy and when there wasn't I was a bit sad. Kipp was a little disappointed and so was Drew, but I think I was really the most disappointed of all. The prayer and praise service Wednesday night was just what I needed. Our Pastor made a comment that we can be thankful in all things, though we often don't understand why things happen now God is always working in our lives. I am getting used to the idea of 4 girls. I can't even imagine all the tea parties, nail painting and french braiding that will be happening in our house! The squeals and giggles will be abundant here! While I'm not totally convinced of Baby A being a girl, I'm no ultrasound tech and I will prepare for 2 girls. Should there be a boy we will just run to the store and get him something blue! :) But for now, we are preparing for two more girls! We love them already and now it's on to the name game. So in honor of our new daughters, our blog will stay pink for a while!

Congrats! I'm sure they will steal your heart, in no time :)
I know they will, I just set myself up for such disappointment sometimes! And I in no way mean they are disappointing. I'm digging myself a hole here! :)
You are not digging yourself in a hole. I totally understand your feelings. I was hoping that Lydia was to be a boy and felt that same disappointment you felt. I felt bad that I was disappointed when I had just been told that I was having a healthy baby, I should have been thankful. Anyway I came to this conclusion. When I removed the announcement of the gender from the actual birth of the baby I invited disappointment. After all who is going to complain that it was a girl when you just got done with hours of labor and pushing. We are all just relieved that she was born and beautiful. It is hard to look at and actually hold your sweet baby and feel that disappointment, while it is easier to look at a monitor and be disappointed, there is still a level of detachment.
But it is also so much fun preparing and being able to pick out names before the baby is born. Anyway that was just my two cents.
I am very excited for you. Twin girls should be a blast. And think both your older girls will have their own little baby help mommy make pretty with hair bows and the such.
