Miller's Multiple Blessings: Baby A and Baby B reveal themselves!

On June 7th, we had our monthly visit with our regular OB/GYN. Since we are having twins, they do an ultrasound every time we go in. This way they can see the heartbeats and that both babies are fine. We were 18 weeks along and we asked if she could tell the gender and if she could, would she write it down in a greeting card that we had brought. This way Ben and I could share this moment alone and not with the doctor. She came to the conclusion pretty quickly about Baby A and couldn't seem to get Baby B to cooperate. Imagine a sideways T with the top of the T pointing left. Baby A was lying horizontal and Baby B was lying vertical. Baby B was hiding under my ribs. The doctor tried to get the baby to move, but it was not having anything to do with it! So, Dr. Nash filled out the card for Baby A only and Ben and I opened it as soon as we got to the car. We were supposed to wait for a special dinner, but since we only knew one baby..I couldn't wait! Baby A is a BOY!

Today, June 15th, we had an appointment with the Texas Perinatal Group. This physician group specializes in multiple births and high risk pregnancies. Dr. Nash referred us to them to do a full work up on the babies. They checked for birth defects, organ placement, bone structure and facial deformities. The babies looked great! There were 20 fingers and 20 toes present! Two beautiful profiles with two beating hearts. The doctor said our babies looked healthy and right on track! Thank you, Lord! The doctor also confirmed that Baby A was indeed a boy and that Baby B was a.........GIRL!

We feel so blessed to be having a boy and a girl! God is so good! We have waited so long for a baby to join our family and now we are adding two! But it doesn't stop there, a boy and a girl!

We head back to see Dr. Nash (OB/GYN) on July 6th and we are back to the perinatal group the same day for a pre-term labor consult. We will keep you posted! Here are a couple of pics from today's ultrasound.
