Our pre-ultrasound guesses:
Ben: BOY
Heather: BOY
Lily: GIRL
Skyler: GIRL (although once out of the billion times asked he said he wanted a brother, and one other time he said he wanted me to deliver a new mommy..... ouch??????)
So who was right? The Babies or the Parents????
The babies of course! We are having a little girl!!!!! And I am not-so-secretly thrilled!
Oh the ruffles! The dresses! The bows! The inch long gelled curls! Aaaaahhhh.... so excited!
Let me say that ultrasounds and I have a bad history. That is, I can't understand a thing they're showing me to save my life. So, since Ben and I were soooooo convinced that this was a boy I was looking for, well, boy parts. And then there "he" was in all of "his" glory: one leg, another leg, and something very clear in between. Immediately I thought, "Oh well there we are. It doesn't take a professional to know what THAT is. We are DEFINITELY having a boy." Just then, the sonographer said, "Those are really healthy looking kidneys." Ummm... kidneys? Whoops. Sorry, Baby Girl.
And may I give a shout out to my sister, Becca? I think she deserves some awesome recognition. She has managed to correctly guess the genders of all 9 of the 9 grandbabies born on my side of the family. That is seriously amazing. I don't know if I'll ever do another ultrasound again. I'll probably just ask her what I'm having. She should become a sonographer with her skills.
And since we're on the subject of finding out that we're having a girl, I wanted to share a story about Ben. When we were pregnant with Lily we were also "100% positive" she was a boy. On the way to get our ultrasound Ben said, "It had BETTER BE a boy." The doctor said Lily was a girl and Ben immediately melted into a puddle on the floor. When we left the doctor's office Ben drove us straight to Wal-Mart and landed us in the baby department. Immediately his arms were full of dresses and I said, "Uh, why don't we just buy one for now?" I saw his negotiating face come on and he said, "How about 3?" I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one excited for more girliness in this family... :)

Kevan and I were both pretty set on a boy but having a girl is LOADS of fun. What am I going to do one day with a boy and no accessories to put on him!?

1 + 1 equals 2; 1 + 1 equals 4
1 + 1 equals 5; 1 + 1 equals 13
And every equation is correct as it relates to your family! (If you can't figure out all of the equations, give me a call. One thing is certain, our happiness is multiplied!)
Congrats! Little girls rock! And I like your kidney story... =)
Congratulations! yay! So happy for you. And Becca has some awesome skills there, that is quite a record!
