This is my attempt to start a blog of Brady and I's new life as parents!! (Yikes). And twins no less. I am really excited, scared, happy and paranoid, all in one. I'm sure most first time parents are. Even second third or fourth time ones as well. I am 21 weeks now and I have to say, I think I have had it pretty good so far. Little nauseous, REALLY tired and a couple other symptoms here and there. I took some belly pics tonight and I have to say that I think the camera is adding a couple extras pounds to my stomach area, right.... I put a couple on here per the request of a few curious people. I think people are just wondering "How big does a twin belly REALLY get?" Well, I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

This week Brady and I decided that we should get a 3rd opinion on what the sex of both babies are. The first one was done by our doctor, who said, it was his opinion that both babies were girls. An opinion that both Brady and I are welcome to. Then 5 days later, we went for the ultrasound were they check to make sure all the organs are developing correctly (which they are). At that point, our ultrasound tech said she thought Baby A was a BOY. Brady jumped to his feet to look a little harder at the screen in excitement (A boy to carry on the Richards name!). Then the tech said "Well what did I tell you it was before?" We told her that she never gave us the sex before, but we were told by the doctor that it was 2 girls. She then decided to have another look and changed her answer to 2 girls. (Urgh!! Just give me a definite answer!) Of course, either way we are happy if both of them are healthy. But it would be nice if we could start buying stuff and preparing for what's ahead. Because we couldn't get a straight answer, I went to an Ultrasound facility for the 3rd look. At that time the tech said Baby A was a boy, and Baby B was a girl. There was still some reservation on here part to give us a definite answer though. Lets just say that Baby A's private area does not look like Baby B's private parts. I guess we are going to have to be a little more patient that we would like to be. Next appointment is in a couple weeks. Hopefully we can get a better look then.

I will try to keep up on posting things as they "Develop". Hope you all enjoy the stories. I'm sure w will have lots to share. Love you all! J-me
