Its a girl AND a boy!!!

after finding out i was pregnant, then finding out i was pregnant with twins we decided the fact that there are two was the surprise and couldn't wait to find out what combo of babies we were having!
from the second dr.'s appmnt and ultrasound, dr. shepherd said she thought there was a boy and a girl cause the heartbeats were pretty different. i also started having dreams around that time, and i kept seeing one of each too. just after mother's day todd was able to feel the babies move and when we kept talking about what they were, he felt they must be a boy in there cause the kicks were so hard! plus my main craving during may was cheeseburgers! i'm pretty sure i ate more cheeseburgers when pregnant than i did in the last 3 years!!! todd thought because i was craving so much beef, when normally i avoid anything beef, there must be at least one boy in there. plus, we have 3 nieces and another on the way, so we were hoping for at least one boy!
finally may 25th came and the ultrasound tech may us sign this thing saying we wouldn't sue if she was wrong and we held our breath as she looked at "baby a".
"well, baby a looks like a girl, yep! see there? i'm very sure this is a girl!" i remember squeezing todd's hand then and him smiling huge. it took awhile longer for "baby b" to move into position but when he did, he was definitely "all boy" as the tech said! a few tears formed i was so happy. so perfect! our family four pack!!!
on the way home we started discussing nursery ideas. we had started to register, but held off on "decor" cause we didn't know what we were preparing for!!!
