Big Reveal!

On Monday, March 29th at 10:30am I went for my ultrasound to reveal the gender of little Lowe twins! Chris was stuck at work directing his favorite Monday meeting, so he was not able to make it. I asked him if he would like me to reschedule, but he told me not to worry and just send him a text message. Men! I asked my Mom and Dad to go with me instead. They both were thrilled to be there. I think my Dad was more wowed by the technology and talking fish with the sonographer. hehe.

We are happy to announce that baby A is a boy and baby B is a girl!!! After seeing, baby A was a boy I got a bit nervous that baby B would be the same gender. I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that baby B was a girl. Everybody is growing right on target. Now we know for sure they are fraternal. Baby A's heartrate was 160 bmp, and baby A had a heartrate of 152 bpm. They both weigh about 7oz which they tell me is right on target for 17 weeks. At this time they are laying transverse, directly across my belly in opposite directions. I guess they are kicking each other in the head already.

We are not onto the dreaded part of pregnancy picking names!! We both seem to like the name Annika (pronounced Ah-knee-ka) for a girl and Asher for a boy. I wasn't a big fan of the alliteration but we aren't going to throw out names we can agree on due to starting with the same letter. Names are not official yet, so stay tuned.

Our scanner is currently buried in our closet because Parker's toys have taken over the room that used to be our office/den. I will try to dig it out and scan some pics of the twins!!
