This is a picture of our babies, looking pretty much at the tops of their heads. They have their heads together right now, which I think is so cute. They both showed us how they could drink, wave, and reach for their toes. Every time I see them, the reality sets in more and more. I cannot wait to hold them!
.I had the sweetest ultrasound tech today. She talked me through the entire ultrasound, which took almost an hour! She described each thing she was looking at and told me that every little bit of our babies appeared to be measuring and functioning normally. She had no hesitation when she checked the gender so we'll be having a mix of pink and blue this summer!
Baby A is our girl. We're happy for you to meet her...
.And our boy is Baby B. If you look closely, you can see that he is waving at you. His hand is above his face and you can make out the fingers.
.Our day turned out to not go at all as planned. Shane was supposed to go to morning meetings at church then we were going to head over to a friend's house around noon to drop Silas off before heading together to the doctor's office. But poor baby Silas woke up at 3 in the morning with a stomach virus. I heard him crying so went to his room where I found him with a mess all over his crib and himself. He just kept saying, "wipe!"
.
We were up the rest of the night and by early morning knew he wasn't going anywhere today. I talked to the doctor about how to keep him hydrated and by 11 the plan started working. He fell asleep a little before noon as Shane got home to take over.
.
We are extremely thankful that Shane got to go with me on our unexpected visit to the doctor because that was when we were first told it was a boy and girl. So we were together for that big moment. We're also thankful that Silas napped today and is now sleeping. He did not have much of an appetite this evening but hopefully his tummy will rest and he will be back to his normal self tomorrow.
.
I did think as I was driving to the doctor's office that this was probably only the start of balancing life with three kids!
