Drum roll please.....

Today has been an exciting day for us. To begin our day we dropped Jared off for his first day of 1st grade this morning. He was so excited to go but said that he was a little nervous. We walked him to where he will line up each morning, said goodbye, wiped our tears, and left. I can't believe that my baby is in school all day. To tell you the truth it has been a little odd not having him around all morning. I keep looking at the clock thinking that I need to go pick him up. We are excited for him and hope that he has a great time.

The other exciting news is that we got to have our fourth ultrasound this morning. This was the most anticipated one because we have been wanting to know their gender. The lady was great! She talked to us the whole time about what she was measuring, why it was important and explained their positions to us.

Most importantly they are perfect. All the right body parts in the right spots. Their hearts are great, kidneys are great, they even had a little drink of water in the tummies. Baby A is about 7 oz and baby B is about 6 oz. They are right on track and laying with their heads at my right hip, meaning they are getting to the head down position.

And now que the drum roll. We are excited to find out that Baby A is (90% sure) a girl. She was being a little modest and had her legs closed. Baby B is (100% sure) a girl. My favorite picture of them is with their heads together. Baby B is on her tummy while A is face up. They look so cute snuggled up to each other and will be great roomies!
