It's a Girl! It's a Boy!

This past Wednesday we went to our first appointment with the birth mother and got to see the twins for the very first time!  It was such an amazing experience!!!  The most amazing thing is that during the ultrasound we found out that they are healthy and growing at the same rate (very important for twins), such a huge relief and such a great feeling to know that they are healthy!  We also found out during that same ultrasound that we are having a GIRL and  BOY!!! 

The birth mother is also doing great!  She has been so wonderful and such a joy to get to know!  We have definitely been blessed in getting matched with her!

We are still blown away by the news!!!  Dusty and I are just so overjoyed!  Ultimately we didn't care what the gender of the twins were (girl/girl, boy/boy, girl/boy) just as long as they are healthy that is all that matters to us, but it was so exciting to find out that we are having a girl & boy!  So much fun!!!  Tutu's and Bowties!!!

It was definitely love at first sight!!!  We are just so in-love!  I get so excited thinking about the plans God has in store for each of them! 

The birth mother has an appointment every month that she has so graciously invited us to go to, so we will have the joy of getting to watch them grow over the next few months until they make their grand entrance!  It really is amazing to be able to watch them grow & develop, what an awesome part of the journey!  Such a blessing!

I was doing some research tonight on caring for twins and informed Dusty that in the first 60 days it is estimated that we will change 960 to 1,440 diapers...he seemed very excited in hearing that news!  lol!  He said he would become one heck of a butt wiper if that's the case!  He is so excited about being a dad!

We ask that you would continue to keep the birth mother and the babies in your thoughts and prayers, for their health and protection and that all will continue to go well with the pregnancy.

Our next appointment is August 15!  They are going to measure the twins at this appointment so we will know how big they are :)  So excited!!!  We will keep you posted on how the appointment goes.

Thank you again for all of your prayers and support!  You are appreciated more than you know!
