And the Babies Are...

Well folks, the genders have been confirmed. This is going to be the fastest pregnancy ever for those of you who read my blog since I can only manage to update it every six weeks! I am now 21 weeks along and beginning to resemble a pregnant whale. The babies are looking healthy and growing at about the same rate each weighing around 11 oz and about measuring around 11 inches long. So here's what you've all been waiting for:
Baby A: Girl!
Baby B: Girl!
That's right, two fraternal twin girls, and we couldn't be happier! I was slightly concerned when we found out just because of Jordan. I wasn't sure how he'd respond to two girls since he is boy through and through and always talks about sports with his future boys. When they announced that the second baby was also a girl I immediately turned to see Jordan's reaction. He had a HUGE grin on his face and said, "I'm going to be the best softball coach, EVER!" What a relief! I have such a great husband! We can't wait to start our adventure of dental school and parenthood with our little ladies!
No, the morning sickness has not gone away. It's hard to imagine how I can possibly gain weight when nothing stays down, but believe me the proof is in the puding. I'll post a picture soon of this belly. I'm not sure Jordan comprehends that it is going to keep growing, probably double, before we have the girls. Only 16 more weeks to go!
