I only have one Friday Favorite to share today! Linking up with my wanna-be friends
Andrea,
Narci, and
Erika!
One year ago today we went to our doctor's appointment to find out the
gender of our baby! We were going to have the technician seal it in an
envelope and reveal it at a gender reveal party two days later. While
we were walking into the appointment, I jokingly told Ben, "Well, I
guess this is our last chance to find out if there are twins!" He
replied, "That's not funny!" See, the entire pregnancy so far I kept
feeling like there were two babies in there. Two sonogram appointments
and one heartbeat appointment showed that there was only one, healthy
baby, so I thought my mother's intuition was waaayyy off. About 30
minutes later, we found out that my intuition was correct! We were
expecting identical twins! And a few days later, we found out they were
identical twin girls. You can read more about our gender reveal party
here.
Since
we knew we had a BIG secret to share, I set up a camera to video tape
the audience's reaction and asked one of my best friends to video tape
us with the video camera. I finally put both of them together in a
little video to share. I tried to put the video right on here from YouTube but it kept telling me it was private, which it's not! So click
Gender Reveal Party to see it.
7 weeks...only one baby (I asked a nurse about the second shady blob after we knew there were two, and she said that was something else, not the second baby, because they weren't close enough together)
11 weeks...still only one baby...
15 weeks we had a heartbeat appointment and only one heart beat was heard...
19.5 weeks...and BAM! Then there were two :) This is the first picture of our little aliens together. Noelle (Baby A) is on the left, Natalie (Baby B) is on the right.
Natalie on top, Noelle's head on the bottom.
This is definitely a day I'll never forget. Happy Friday!
