It's a......


GIRL,....

and a......

GIRL!

Craziness! I haven't blogged much about the twins lately,..mostly because it all still seems so surreal. I still feel like I couldn't possibly be having twins. It's hard to wrap my little mind around, but I guess it is official...I am. And GIRLS?! Whew! So exciting, but its a little bittersweet. Noah is growing up so fast and there is a growing void there that I expected to be filled with another little boy! Because he is my only one,...I have a tender spot in my heart for boys. I feel like I am supposed to be a mother to a heard of BOYS! But I mean seriously,..two baby girls,..can't get much cuter than that! :) One thing I am SO looking forward to is seeing daddy wrapped around their little fingers. Oh the drama to come! ;)

Now I need to get over the sad part of putting Noah's baby boy clothes away (for a while) and start with the exciting part,..matching dresses,..big bows,...I can so do this! :)

Here are a few pictures of our precious little girls.

13 weeks (several weeks ago)...

And today at 19 weeks....
They are growing just as they should be which is such a relief to me! My Dr.'s are pretty sure the are fraternal twins (not identical). I'm 19 weeks and they expect me to go until about 36 so I am more then half way there TOOT TOOT! :) We are still unsure about names for these two princesses so until then,...we can't wait to meet you BABY A and BABY B! :)
P.S. If anyone is interested I FINALLY posted a chaotic Christmas blog of a bjillion pictures. I wanted it to be posted in the 2008 year so you'll have to go back a few entries.

  2. Congratulation! That's so exciting! Girls are so fun!! Although, boys are too, but the hair, the bows, the dresses! It's like having your own cute little doll to dress up and make even more adorable than they already are! And you will have TWO! How fun!

  3. I know what you mean about filling the void with another boy. I wanted a boy to so i could put him in Trey's cloths and remember but then when I started shopping for girl cloths, making bows, and then got to hold her there was just nothing like having a girl. Different than your boy but still just as good.

  6. Congrats! They are going to be so cute! I am so excited for you guys. I do understand what you mean about little boys though...maybe it is because compared to Sophia, Owen likes to snuggle with me more. I am so happy that everything is going well for you and your growing family!

  19. YIKES!!!!!!!! Congratulations! How exciting, I so badly wanted a girl before Pete came but I am happy now for a boy. But I don't know what I would do if 2 girls were coming at once!!! That is awesome. Have fun shopping!

  20. Oh dear- two girls! How exciting! Im overwhelmed with happiness for you. Truely girls are so fun! Noah is going to be the "big brother protector man" when they all play together- and they'll be the "damsils in distress" that he saves- just wait, it'll happen. HAH. Hope the pregnancy is going good, you look great in your christmas pics. Keep updating

  21. Girls...no way! How fun will that be?! I totally understand the boy thing. I so wanted Camdyn to be a boy. Teegan needed a little buddy. They are buddies though and it is a lot of fun. You get to have the best of both worlds! I am so excited for you! How are you feeling these days? I wanna see that growing belly of yours! :)
