So, those of you who have known me for any length of time know that I'm not really keen on finding out the genders of babies before they're born. I love the surprise of it, and I love the suspense and guessing that comes with not knowing.
However...at 15 weeks I had an ultrasound today and the technician said she could tell us the genders of the babies. Something took over and I HAD to know. Truthfully, a lot of it was that we've been in panic mode since we found out we are having twins. Something about going from a family of 3 to a family of 5, I guess. Plus, I'd been feeling a little guilty because Eric wanted to know Brendan's sex before he was born but I convinced him not to find out.
So, anyway, the moment of truth arrived when she told us that we are having TWO BOYS! We are very excited, and it truthfully makes life a lot easier to know that we can use the same baby stuff we used for Brendan and that we already sorta know what we're doing with a baby boy.
The first words out of Brendan's mouth upon hearing the news: "Oh good. We won't have any Bawbies (Barbies) at our house and I won't have to play Bawbie. I hate Bawbie."
My mom's grandchild tally stands now at 6 boys and 0 girls, which is sort of funny in and of itself.
People were surprised that we found out the babies' genders, and frankly, I'm a little surprised too. I never thought we'd know beforehand. Oh, and before anyone asks, we will not be trying for baby #4 and/or a girl. The incubator will be closed permanently after this shift. :) Our family is complete at 5.
