Twins Gender Reveal!

Saturday was the day we had been anticipating for weeks and weeks. We had our 18 week ultrasound on Friday and got to see our precious little miracles. It was so amazing to see how much they had grown and changed. We are so very thankful for two healthy babies!

We asked our ultrasound tech to put the gender information in two envelopes - one for Baby A and one for Baby B. Baby B was being stubborn and we really thought that our tech wasn't going to be able to tell what that one was. At the last minute she told us quickly to turn our heads and she was able to see...so, the party was on!!

We left the doctor and drove straight to a friends house to drop off the very important envelope and the boxes that would be filled with either pink or blue balloons. The suspense was killing Chad! I was actually really looking forward to being surprised the next day at the party, but once we dropped the envelope off I was really wishing that I knew what was inside of it!

We barely slept at all on Friday night, and Saturday morning seemed to really drag. My stomach was in knots and I was so excited/anxious in a good way about the evening. The time finally came to go pick up the boxes and head to the party! Our immediate families and some close family friends all gathered at my in-laws house for the festivities. I'm so thankful that they took time out of their weekend to come and share in our excitement and joy!

I just love all of these faces!

We kept things very simple and grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and had some yummy sides to go with it. I'm surprised I was able to eat with all of the excitement, but I was actually starving!
My mom, sister and I with the 18 week twin bump. And, Chad and my brother-in-law showing off their bumps ;-)
Everyone was ready to get the show on the road, so we headed outside and got in teams to cast our votes. Here is the team for two girls.
 Team Boy and Girl
 Team Two Boys
 Time to find out the results!
And Baby A is......

  15. Faith, I absolutely LOVE the way you did the gender reveal---so simple yet so sweet and different since you and Chad didn't know either. How exciting!! Do you have names picked out and will we get to know them before the babies are here? I feel like I'm going to be an "internet grandmother" since I've followed you so long and you've done blog makeovers for me and monogrammed our granddaughter's market basket. I am just thrilled!
