Suspense is a killer!!

So, today was the big day!! We went to the imaging center this morning to find out how everything is measuring for our little ones and hopefully to find out whether we have little boys or little girls.

The appointment started out pretty good. We starting measuring the head and all of the limbs of baby A (the one that is closest to the cervix – that is what they always call them). The entire time we were measuring baby A, baby B was trying to get into the picture… Baby B constantly was kicking or nudging Baby A. And, the best part was when we were measuring the heart rate of Baby A. Baby B decided that would be a good time to stick its little hand in the picture and give us the thumb’s up sign! Hilarious! It turns out that baby B was right. Baby A had a very strong heart worthy of a big thumb’s up! I’m glad to see this one is already taking on my sense of humor. (Sorry Chris!) The rest of the measurements went great too. When it was time to see whether we had a little boy or little girl though, Baby A’s legs went right in the way! We tried to jiggle the baby a bit to see if the legs would move out of the way, but no luck! So, we decided to move on to Baby B.

Baby B was hilarious! This one was more interested in Baby A then anything we were doing. The babies were face to face the entire time. So, we only really got to look at Baby B’s back, but it was an adorable back side! Measurements all came out great on Baby B too! So, we have two very healthy growing babies! When the time came on this one to see whether it was a boy or girl, it decided to sit Indian style! So, Baby B completely blocked the area we needed to get to! So frustrating, but I couldn’t get upset when it was so adorable watching the baby sit Indian style!

So, we decided to jump over to Baby A again and see if it would cooperate this time. And, it was still doing everything to block our path! The ultrasound nurse had me lift my hips and wiggle a little to see if we could get them to move around and get in a better position. And……Wait for it…..It worked! Baby A moved his leg long enough to show us that he was a BOY!!!! And, we moved back over to Baby B and saw the same thing! So, we have two adorable little baby boys!!! And, the Langdale name will officially live on!

Sorry for the suspense everyone! I just had to drag it out a little bit to give you the entire story. Thank you all so much for sharing in this great journey with us! We are so excited to have so many supportive friends and family as we welcome our “little fellas” into this world (that one’s for you Kristen)! Check out our pictures from today…

You can see the huge foot of Baby A on this one and see how close the two babies are. They are just separated by a thin membrane.


Baby A's a BOY!


Baby B's a Boy Too!!


Profile of Baby A - So adorable!


You can see in this one their two little heads facing each other! I am sure this is not the only time they will be bumping heads, but it was too cute!


This is kind of hard to see. This is Baby B's back side. You can see his adorable little bum at the left of the ultrasound and his head is at the bottom/right.
