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.

That is just great. I have been following your blog ever since I started IVF and was looking for Lupron side effects. It seems so long ago already, but I am just about 8 weeks pregnant now, so I have ways to go. It’s just one little bean though.
Any way, Congratulations!
Wow!! The best of both worlds. You are so lucky! I’ve never been a mama, but I secretly…orrr, not so secretly, really want a girl one day.
Woot!
HOW EXCITING!!! I’m pretty sure this is every hopeful parents dream, to get both (sexes) in one shot, and out of the way. What an amazing gift – and right before Christmas, too! YAY!!!
That’s EXACTLY the way my U/S went down for my twins – boys like to show off and the girls keep balled up tight:)
Good luck with your growing crew – you really hit the jackpot on this one. Best of luck!
Wow.
I am so happy for you.
Congratulations! We have 5 month old b/g twins and while its a ton of work, its fun.
So very happy for you. After everything, this is really just the best. The best.
