They're girls!

Since our last posting lots has happened!  We took the babies to their first concert to see Tegan and Sarah and Paramore.  The following week we went to a Padres game.  I hope this doesn't mean that they will turn out to be Padres fans!  We finally graduated from sleeping on a mattress on the floor to a real bed!  Nicole was struggling to get up every morning so I figured it would be a good time for that! :)  We've been busy getting the house together and trying to plan what type of nursery furniture we want and how to decorate.   Baby's R Us had some sweet deals on car seats this past weekend so we scooped 2 that will look pretty sweet in the back of my car.

Our ultrasound was last Tuesday and everything is looking good so far.  They basically just wanted to show us the heart beats to ease any concerns we had.  Both heart beats were strong and they're both growing so fast!  The ultrasound tech was super cool and let me video the ultrasound with my phone and take some pics!  She also checked the genders of both and they appear to both be girls!  We met with our Dr. after the scan and she hooked up the Doppler so we could hear the babies' heart beats.  Baby A's was easy to find and Baby B decided to hide behind the placenta that day so we couldn't really hear.

We had the perfect boy and girl names picked out.  We were so sure that that's what we were having!  Man, were we thrown off!  We already know that Baby B will be named Aliya Cherene.  We're still deciding between Shae or Savannah for Baby A.

This Thursday will be a pretty thorough anatomy scan of each baby and we're both a little nervous and not knowing what to expect.  I'm hoping that Dr. Death has the day off and we get someone not so insensitive.  We should find out more about the status of Baby B's heart condition.  We're keeping a positive attitude throughout this whole process, thats whats best for both babies.

Will update more after Thursdays scan!
