Are you sure 2 girls?

Now that the nursery is almost complete, all their pretty clothes are ready, what if we weren't having 2 girls after all?  What if one was a boy?  Poor kid, he'd have to wear pink dresses for the first 12 months of his life...sleep in a crib surrounded by pretty flowery crib sheets and play with the butterfly crib mobile   What if his weiner was just too small to see in the ultrasound?

Today marks the 35th week of gestation for the twins.  We had yet another ultrasound to check on the growth of the babies.  We also wanted to confirm the sexes 'cause you just never know.  The tech scanned for her usual stuff, checking the length of the limbs, and size of the head.  Then proceeds to check out the gender parts.

"Ok, don't tell me the genders because I'm 100% correct," said the tech.  So we kept quiet.  Seconds later...
"See the hamburger bun with the slit....yeah....baby A is a girl."
"What about baby B?", we asked.  Another minute rolls by.
"Hamburger bun with a slit.....see....right there.....she's a girl."

Well, what a relief because I was getting used to the idea of two girls.  After the checkup we also got an update on the size of the girls.

Twin A - 5.50 lbs.
Twin B - 5.06 lbs.

Way to go girls, you two grew about half a pound in two weeks!  Now it's a waiting game.  On to the 36th week.
