Gender Games


Can anyone guess what we found out at the hospital today?!!!!!?


Here are some more clues






I was really hoping for a BOY and a GIRL and I'm so excited we get just that!!! They both cooperated very well for their first photo shoot and we are 100% sure that Baby A is a girl and Baby B is a boy!!! Finding out the gender and feeling the babies move a lot this past week have really made this become real for me. I can't wait to meet our babies in just over 4 months! Everything was normal and looked very healthy and the babies were actually pretty big-the boy was 97th percentile and the girl 94th-we're shooting for nothing less than 6 pounds for each of them when they're born. Not to give out too much info, but my cervix is super long which is a great sign because it reduces the chance of preterm labor-hooray! I'm hoping to go to 37 weeks at least.

Jeremy really wanted a girl this time, I wanted both, Hunter doesn't care as long as he gets a cupcake and Hyrum was stuck on boys so I think everyone is happy. Hyrum told me in the car that he is going to call the boy 'Macho' and the girl 'Toot Toot'. I don't think we'll be consulting him a whole lot when it comes to picking out names :)

YEAH!!! I am soo excited for you guys! I have a friend that has boy and girl twins and another friend that is expecting boy and girl twins. So wonderful! And I am glad they look so good! Sounds like they'll be nice and big. Shanna was 7 pounds 1 ounce and Haley was 7 pounds 6 ounces. You'll probably top me! I loved the pictures with the blue and pink stuff. TOO fun!

Lu!!! That is so exciting. So, you really can name that... "luke and leia".... ah ha. Accept you'll tell them that they are brother and sister so they don't kiss each other... gross. Glad you finally got a girl.

Yippee! So happy for all of you!

Congrats! That will be so fun. Evan suggested Big Toe as a name for Kyle, we didn't decide on that so feel free to use it.

That is so exciting. I really wanted b/g twins but I'm glad to be having a girl this time around. :) Although when you get to 30+ weeks let us know again if you want to deliver more than 37 weeks. I was so ready to be done at 35 weeks and everyone kept reminding me "they are easier to take care of on the inside instead of out" and my doctor kept pushing for 38 week and I wouldn't hear of it. I was glad to get to 37 weeks and no longer.

Speaking as a twin from a boy/girl set, I think that is awesome! I am really happy that you got your wish. It DOES sound like a win/win situation all around. Thanks for doing such a great job of updating!

Elissa said...

I guess you can't do giselle and belle, maybe belle and gaston? or maybe edward and bella...no just thinking about the idea seems so wrong on many levels. Yayayayaya

I'm so excited for you! Congrats. I don't know about having boys, but I love my little girl to bits. She is a girly girl so shopping with her is so fun! (by the way this is Amanda this time, before it was Ryan.)

We are so excited for you guys! Our vote is for Luke and Leah...this is what I would totally name twins if I were having them...how cool would that be?

Brian, Laura, Felix & Ezra said...

Awesome! I'm so happy for you guys! Hyrum should definitely pick out the names. In fact, I'm consulting him on the rest of my kids' names too.
Congrats!
