The Appointment...

So, let me paint you a little picture...

We're in the ultrasound room, I'm on the table, covered in warm goo and Jason is in the chair beside the table. The technician knows that we want to know the genders, but she has to measure every little thing because it's a level II ultrasound.

The tech gets to the sex of baby A (the one lowest)and announces, "It's a girl!".

Silence.

No response from Jason. He immediately grabs his phone and texts Karl.

Jason says he's excited, ya-da ya-da...

About 15 minutes later the technician starts on baby B.

She announces, "It's a boy!"

Jason jumps out of his chair, "Woo-Hoo!"

Now, on this one, I don't have to 'ask' if he's excited. It's pretty clear, don't you think?

He claims that he wanted another boy for Jackson's sake. I originally wanted two of the same for the sake of planning, bedrooms, etc... because I'm a planner, but honestly, I have to say I'm very excited that we are having one of each. The truth is that the Lord knows best and I'm excited with whatever he wants to give us. He knows our future.

The children are very excited because they wanted one of each; one for Jackson and one for them.

The babies are growing well and everything looks great. The boy baby is measuring 18 wk 2 days and the girl baby is measuring 17 wks 5 days. I'm exactly 17 weeks today. I'm glad they are measuring bigger, rather than smaller. Of course, I feel like I'm 8 months pregnant and I'm only 4 months, but it's all worth it.

Tuesday's the Big Day!

We have an appointment on Tuesday at 2 pm to have our Level II Ultrasound. I don't know what a Level II Ultrasound is, but I know I have to have it because I'm Advanced Maternal Age (AMA)and because we're having twins.

I wonder what level the ultrasound would have to be if Sarah (Abraham's wife) came in for her prenatal visits at her age. I think she was like 80 or something.
