Two Sons...


Despite having scans every two weeks, it wasn't until the 20th week that we found out the gender of the twins. The team of sonographers made it clear during the 18th week scan that they could tell me if I wanted to know, but as D couldn't make it I said no. Frankly, I am amazed by my will power.

However, I was fairly sure that I could see that the twins were boys during that 18 week scan. I didn't ask, but I was almost certain. For the next two weeks I started looking at clothes for little boys, and imagined my life with two sons. I didn't tell D that I thought I had seen the gender. He was so convinced that they were girls that I didn't want to sway him, particularly when I could be completely wrong.

Of course, when we walked into the ultrasound room at 20 weeks the first thing they asked is if we knew the gender and if we wanted to, and when we practically screamed 'tell us!' they immediately brought the image up on the screen. There was no denying it, we're having two sons.

It sounds like a cliche but I would have been thrilled with boys or girls, and all I care about is their health. However, I knew that Dan would love to have a son (if not with these two babies then another one to follow!), and to see his face when he got the surprise was nothing short of perfect.

We already have the names picked out (it's a secret!) and I am so excited to meet these two little guys in the spring. Let the planning and shopping commence!
