Just back from longest appointment ever, and hotly anticipating my dinner, so I won’t waste time with exposition:
Baby A is a boy, and not shy about it, either, more or less sitting on the camera immediately and spreading his legs.
Baby B, on the other hand, required extensive poking before crossly revealing her girlhood. Even then, she wouldn’t stay in position long enough for a thorough examination, so the doctor plans to double check her sex at my Level II ultrasound on the 31st. But she had the “three lines” they look for, and was conspicuously lacking a scrotum, so I am hopeful that she will remain female.
I am just about dead with happiness. A boy and a girl! A girl and a boy! Both.

Congrats, that is wonderful news!! The ultrasound is amazing and it’s the only time a pregnant woman doesn’t mind drinking a ton of water and having someone poke her bladder!
Any names picked out yet?
Hooray!
Excellent news! Congratulations.
So, so beyond happy for you. Feed them something tasty and of questionable nutritional value to celebrate! But maybe not saltines.
So happy for you :)
I am THRILLED FOR YOU!!! Congrats!
That’s so fantastic!! Congratulations! Mine were the same way; the boy was all about showing his kibble and bits and the girl kept her legs firmly closed and it felt like forever before we knew what she was (finally figured it out at 32 weeks).
That is fantastic!!! So happy for you!
Alexa, that is wonderful. Congratulations. Funny how it always seems to be the little boys that flash!
J
very, very exciting.
Yahoo! Boys certainly aren’t shy about showing the goods, are they? At least your little girl is more discreet and circumspect–she sounds so modest and polite already! (Then again, she’s probably kicking her brother in the head when you’re not looking…)
I am so incredibly thrilled for you I can hardly stand it! Congrats!
A hamburger and a hot dog! What fantastic news!
Congratulations.
I had to come back and post again to say that last night I dreamed I was decorating your nursery for you. So be extra careful not to post any identifying information about your home lest I be tempted to break in with paint and fabric.
Congratulations!!! I am so thrilled for you! And it sounds like the rest of the babies looked good and that you had a good appt with the peri.
Whooo hooooo!
Oooooo. PS. Will you please please please imitate some of the other bloggers who gave out a PO BOX… so we can all go buy baby clothes and diapers and other beautiful things for you all?!
Please?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What great news! (Although, I imagine we would all be as giddy if it was two boys or two girls. :) )
YAY, Alexa! Just yay. Congratulations.
WOO-HOO! Details, please! Pictures!
Bliss.
