Mystery solved...
So we finally found out what the little cuties are! How blessed and fortunate we are to have a boy and a girl soon to be running our lives. So far they are growing well from the ultrasound photos and everything looks healthy. They are slightly larger than an average singleton. This is pretty normal since multiples tend to "mature quicker" and it will work to their advantage if they decide to join us early.My intuition was that there was definitely a stubborn, I mean, persistent little girl in there (hey persistent is good-you get what you want when it is important!) from my symptoms in the early days. I also put my money on the other being a boy and had already began calling them as such when talking to them. My only mistake is that Hubby's wild boy that I was feeling move so much on my right was really the girl. So at the ultrasound, HE seemed very eager to let us know and get me to stop calling him the "g" word. Just for good measure, he continued to let me know the whole next day by giving me the strongest kicks I've felt to date. Sorry little one, you are all boy, I won't make the mistake again. At least Hubby was finally able to feel him kick for the first time later that night at our birthing class. And our little girl is a wiggly one too with big feet and long fingers (the better to play the piano? or run?). Hubby got to feel her kick the next morning.
I'm very excited to have both a boy and girl. While I was not the frilly and flowery clothes type wearer growing up, I can't wait to dress my little girl in cute ruffly pink outfits. Of course it will be my fault if she tears them off and puts on comfy sweats or jump suits. Karma has to come back some time, right? I am excited about the fact of watching my husband get to be a father to a son, something I know he wished he could have experienced more of having when he was growing up. I know it will mean a lot to him and me to create the memories we didn't get to have enough of. We are truly lucky to get those opportunites in life that allow us to connect to the past and make a positives out of lost opportunities.
