Today was our Level II Ultrasound in Champaign. It took forever (and I was nearly sick from being on my back for so long) but we were pleased to find out that both babies are doing well and the peri sees no need for us to do an amino. Our risks for a baby with a chromosomal abnormality are approximately 1 in 5,000. Both babies are measuring right on target and have all of their important parts. We even saw their gallbladders! Both babies currently weigh 7 ounces…. hum, I wonder where all that other weight is coming from??
Baby A is a:
And Baby B is a:
girl!!
I have to admit that we were both surprised. At the beginning this pregnancy I thought I was carrying a boy and a girl. Recently, I’d been thinking that I was pregnant with two boys. Mike still felt confident that it was a boy and girl.
We were both slightly flabbergasted that there are two girls!
Bo will be a great big brother to these little girls — and he’ll remain the “cutest little boy there ever was.”
I’m already dreading the teenage years. I think I may need to reread the Sweet Valley High series… They had an older brother didn’t they??
Names are not set in stone, but you can click here for my initial thoughts on names when we originally found out we were expecting twins in February.

So excited to hear that things are going well with the babies.
Two girls?! I have two girls and a boy, but my order isn’t the same. LOL!
I have an Addyson, and I see that is one of your names, so you know my thoughts on that one.
Oh, and as far as being sick on your back, it gets much worse. There were many a times we had to stop the u/s so I could sit up as I was on the verge of passing out.
Congrats!! Girls are fun, and Bo will make a great big brother.
Wow, girls! So exciting, and definitely something new:) I am sure Bo will be a great big brother to these new little sisters. Have fun buying little girl stuff!
How wonderful! Glad to hear that they are growing nicely and they are so lucky to have an awesome big brother! Yeah!
Congrats! (And Happy Mother’s day) Good thing they have an older brother!
Teenage years, I only have one girl and they scare me too!
From the way you describe it I think that your surprise was very similar to mine when we found out what our twins were. It’s an interesting feeling that’s for sure!
Take care and good luck! (Have fun with the name selection!)
p.s. glad to hear that your mom is doing so well! Wow to the # of classes you are teaching! OH MY!
wow, double the barbie jeeps! and prom dresses and weddings…how exciting!!! just think of all those dresses you get to buy!!!
WHOO HOO! Congratulations! SO excited for you- Girls are a blast- sooo fun to dress (LOL)!!!!!!
That is exciting! You are going to love having daughters and Bo is going to love being a big brother.
congrats! as a mother to twin girls- you will have a blast dressing them! Plus, they will always have one another!
Congrats! I have said many times that if we have more children I’ll need to have girls so that M can always be “my favorite little boy in the whole wide world!” Bo is gonna be a great big brother!
Congratulations!!! And yes, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield did have an older brother. Can’t remember his name for the life of me.
As a mom of Twin Girls – I’m grinning (I was secretly hoping you would have G/G twins!)
Mine are marvelous little ladies, I KNOW you will enjoy having 2 girls…CONGRATS to you!!
