Stephanie came to the ultrasound with us. It was really great having her there, she is such a sweetheart. We were so happy to have them stay with us a few days and so glad it worked out to be when the ultrasound was scheduled for. After we found out the genders we dropped Rob off at home with Lance and the kids and went shopping for balloons, decorations, cake, and ice cream. We had decorated the boxes and Hannah had made the pom poms the day before.
When everyone came they wrote down their guess.
We had Mom and Fred on Skype so they could watch the reveal.
Baby A box was opened first and IT'S A GIRL!!
Then Baby B box was opened and IT'S A GIRL!!
Oh gosh, it was a little emotional. We were really worried about how Wyatt would respond and he was definitely upset. When I could see him getting teary eyed and his expression fall I just lost it and started crying too and holding him. Poor guy! He wanted a brother so bad. He kept saying to me that night and the next few days, I just really wanted 1 to be a boy. I told him if I could have chosen I would have given him a brother for sure, but Heavenly Father decided and he sent us 2 more girls.
Rob and Wyatt having a little man to man talk about being in this house full of girls. I also noticed Jason and Lance both take Wyatt aside and talk with him, it sure meant a lot to me. How I love my sweet Wyatt.
Finding out their genders was a little more stressful this time around just because the kids are older and had a big opinion about what they wanted. I think that was the hardest part was knowing they would be disappointed, some more than others. The girls wanted 1 boy, but they were fine with 2 more sisters. Rob and I both wanted 1 boy too, but that was for our Wyatt to have a brother, but it just wasn't meant to be. I know we will all ADORE these 2 sweet girls!
I was very happy that everything looked great on the ultrasound. They are measuring pretty much exactly the same size, 1 day different and both measuring at 13 oz. They are both healthy and growing well. I have to say that I am over being pregnant and these last 4 months will be a challenge I am sure, but we can do it!! I can't wait to meet these 2 cuties!!
A double rainbow right after the reveal, I like to think Dad had something to do with that sending his congratulations on the twins! Oh how I wish he was here!!
