One of the good things about being pregnant with twins is that automatically you are 'high risk'. That's not the good part so keep reading. Being high risk means ultrasounds galore. At special high risk centers with their fancy million dollar machines. My doctor told me that I could have an ultrasound every week if I wanted. And my insurance covers it. All. So we have been able to see the little goobers go from blobs with flickering heartbeats to aliens to fat necked, big headed gummy bears to yes, finally little human looking babies.
Today we went and confirmed the fact that our babies do have genders and that several specialists have been right all along. The pics aren't great because things are getting pretty crowded in there.
Please meet
baby boy Martin. If you look close you can see a foot (which does not belong to him) by his face in the background. More on this later.
And now meet
baby girl Martin. We didn't get many good pics of her today. Frankly, I don't blame her for being difficult. She was having a rough day for several reasons.
1. She is on the bottom and is getting smashed by her brother, who by the way, weighs 2 ounces more than her. He was all stretched out and she was, well, smashed.
2. Her brother kept being a brother and was putting his bum right in her face. Poor thing.
3. She had the hiccups.I don't know about you but it ticks me off when I have the hiccups.
After watching these two for an hour I promptly came home and ordered several books online on how to raise twins. We are going to have our hands full.

i am now 100% jealous. i want boy and girl twins so so so bad! how exciting for you guys. you will be great parents and will be writing your own books on how to raise twins in probably the not too distant future.
I think baby girl looks beautiful! Her little dainty features are precious. And big brother is already a stinker, he gets that from his dad, but he looks pretty awesome too. Isn't it weird how they're still inside your tummy and I already love them?! They're currently my favorite people.
I got the goosebumps last night when Aunt Tonna said there was one of each. But seeing the pictures..... I mean really????? Two little babies. It is absolutely thrilling! I can't wait!!Got any names picked out yet?
SOOOOOOOOOOO Happy for you guys! What a fun, exciting, scary time! You are going to be a fabulous momma! Can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving and see your belly!
One of each....that's the best. And apparently the Adair/Sherwood way. We are so excited for you guys!
So sweet... Can't wait to meet them both! You guys are going to be great parents!
Hooray!!! Super super exciting!
So cute! I love ultrasounds- they make me giddy. Since you can get how ever many you want, can aunt Cami come along sometime? Haha, i'll whip big brother into shape for little sister. I too would give my brother a kick in the face if he put his bum in my face. Grossy, he's already being a brother & teasing her. Sadface. I'm so excited for you guys. I'm a little jealous you're having a boy & a girl twin- that would be my dream, but now I'm not sure I want twins, one at a time would work just fine for me.:) you'll do great though. Are you even showing yet? I gotta see it for myself. Haha. :)
