Our Anniversary with our little BOY and GIRL!!!

Cody and I went in today to get our 19 week sonogram and to find out the sex of our little "beans"! Unfortunately, we will no longer be calling them "beans" because we know we are having a little BOY and a little GIRL!!!

The sonogram took around 1 hour and the Twins are looking healthy and happy. Our little boy is already a show off and he was more than happy to expose his goods to his awaiting parents =) When we saw his "business", Cody immediately said "I know what that is..!!" Such a proud papa. He also kept opening his mouth, it looked like he was talking...now we know for sure Cody has to be the father if he is chatting this early!!!

Our little girl is a little shy or stubborn depending on how you look at it. She crossed her legs the entire time, and turned away from any facial pictures. After I moved from side to side, gave her a talking to, and jossled her around...She must have finally realized how persistant her mother can be and she showed off her business...or lack thereof. =)

For those of you who relied on the old wive's tale that if the heartbeat is above 140 bpm then it is a girl and if it is below it is a boy...tisk tisk....you were WRONG!!! The little man had a heartbeat of 153 bpm and the little girl had a heartbeat of 141 bpm.

I also didn't realize how much these kids can move! They were everywhere. The little girl started out in the lower right side of my abdomen, but by the end of the sonogram she was up under my ribs laying across my upper stomach. No wonder I have been having stomach cramps!!!

The excitement has been overwhelming. We decided to take the day off, because we knew all productivity was out of the window!

Since our anniversary is tomorrow, we used today as the day to celebrate. Cody took me and the kids to Del Frisco's Steakhouse. We are soo very much in love and at such a wonderful place in our lives...
