Boys, Girls, or Both?

And the genders are.... GIRLS.  It took me a couple of hours to get used to the idea, since all three of us were hoping for one of each, but Shaurie was super excited, which helped me gain some excitement.  Mack and Chad are still trying to accept the loss of a possible brother for Mack.  When they found out, Mack stomped his foot and exclaimed, "DANG IT!!!"  I'm sure he'll become more excited as we get closer to their births.  Every night, I ask him if there is anything he'd like to tell the babies.  His response is always, "Hey babies!  We have baby toys here."  I think he's trying to coax them out early.

The doctor said they both look really healthy and are doing well.  Here is some fun info:

• They each weigh about 12 oz., or 3/4 of a pound.
• As of now, their heads are both up, with their feet down.  Baby A kind of curves around my right side and Baby B curves around the left.  This explains the sudden urge to pee, since they are both kicking my bladder!  
• I feel Baby B's arms punching around on my left side a lot.  She really gets excited and wiggles a lot.
• Baby A is turned, so I don't feel her arms as much.  Most of the ultrasound, she had one arm up, and the other at her chest.  But, I do feel her little feet more often.
• Both of their brains and hearts look very healthy.
• Both of them measure 2 days small, thus far, which is normal and good for twins.
• My due date was changed from the 21st of Feb. to the 19th.  I highly doubt I'll make it that long.  I'm betting they are born in the last week of January, or first week in February.

We have a couple of names picked out.  One of them (probably Baby A) will be named Addie.  We haven't picked out a middle name for her, yet, but Shaurie really likes Addie Reese.  I love it, but haven't asked Chad about it, yet.  The name I love is Lydia Anne.  Chad informed me last night that he doesn't like the name so much anymore, but I am going to fight for it.  So far, all the names we've picked are family names, and Lydia didn't have an ancestor that fit it.  But, yesterday, my mom-in-law told me that there was a Lydia Weber, who was somehow related, that held a leadership title in the military during WWII!  Tough chic!  Maybe that'll bring some pride to our family of mostly girls.

I also had a regular doctor's appointment, yesterday.  I asked him about the contractions I've been having, and he said I just have to take things really easy and not stand for a long time.  Since my cervix is completely thick and in tact, there is not need to worry too much.  

Before I forget, I have to brag about my great friends!  On Thursday, Elle was here and Aubrey W. came over.  They put my room back together (and Aubrey came over the day before to help me finish painting), cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes, vacuumed, scrubbed the humidifier, helped with laundry, and straightened the living room.  My house has stayed pretty clean since then!  I guess, with the exception of Mack's room.  It is a huge mess, but I haven't even wanted to start on that project, since I know I need to go through his clothes and toys and dejunk.  Plus I need to rearrange his room to get ready for baby furniture.  I'll just wait until Shaurie is here to help me out (thanks, Shaur!).
