    Oh baby, oh baby! We're having...

    Happy Friday! A couple of weeks ago I woke up with the worst shooting pain in my abdomen. My stomach was hard as a rock and wouldn't subside no matter what I did to try to relax. Finally I made a call and visited my doctor...

    Oh Baby Oh Baby

    She performed an ultrasound and everything was fine, probably Braxton Hicks contractions (oh, how fun.) But during the ultrasound she made a comment that took me by surprise. "Looks like you are having a girl and possibly a boy...but it's just too soon to know for sure." What?!

    Oh Baby Oh Baby

    Jason and I were so excited we could barely hold in the news but we also knew it was really early to find out gender. Let's just say I didn't run out and start buying baby clothes, although it was tempting! My 20 week ultrasound made it was official, we are having a BOY and a GIRL!

    Oh Baby Oh Baby

    My entire first trimester I tried to envision what it would be like having two boys, two girls, or one of each. Every combination brought on its own sense of excitement and I knew I would be happy with any combination. But now I feel extra blessed to have the opportunity to be the mamma to both a baby boy and a baby girl and experience both. It really feels like the best of both worlds...I get my cake and eat it too!

    Oh Baby Oh Baby

    And speaking of cake I made a pink and blue green cake to celebrate! Call me non-traditional but mint green cake seems so much more appetizing than blue, don't you agree? Have a very, very sweet weekend!

      Congrats! Amazing News! I have a boy and a girl...born 21 months apart and its a great joy to experience and compare the differences in gender. Now PLEASE I am dying to know, where did you get the cake from? Must have!!!!

      • Leah Bergman says

        June 12, 2015 at 12:13 pm

        I can't wait to experience it myself! I can't even imagine how much joy these babies will bring. As for the cake, I made it. 🙂

      Thrilled for you, BB! We have boy-girl twins in my family and they have such a unique and special relationship. Also dying @ baby shoes above. How does something so precious exist.

        I know, aren't those little shoes too much? I can't wait to see the bond these babies have. 🙂 xo

      What amazing news (and a GORGEOUS cake!)! As the girl in a set of boy/girl twins, I have to say boy/girl twins are the best!! Nicest part? We didn't have to share many toys or clothes : ) and we're great friends (always the center of middle school gossip on who liked whom)! I wish you the best! I loved your blog before but love it even more now that there's twins involved : ) Congrats X2!

      • Leah Bergman says

        June 12, 2015 at 12:20 pm

        How fun! I love hearing stories from boy/girl twins. I can't wait to see the bond that these two babies have. Hopefully they will be very close like you and your brother. And I did think how nice it would be not to have the comparison/competition factor of same sex babies. Thanks so much for reading and I'm thrilled to hear you love the blog...even more now! lol

      You made a beautiful cake!!! You must be feeling better now that you are in your second trimester, right? 😉 any combination is certainly a blessing but I personally think one of each is the best because they won't be compared by other people as much! 🙂 they will have their own personalities and talents and it will be so fun to watch them grow. <3 congrats again! I'm sooooo happy for you!!

      Congratulations !! I have boy and girl twins and they are great.
      They are totally different but they are best friend.
      Enjoy 🙂

      I love the story about the boy/girl twins! I'm surrounded by same sex twins and I love hearing about their special relationships. So very happy for you both!
