A Merry Christmas SURPRISE!

We feel so blessed to tell all our family and friends that both sweet babies due in May are BOYS!!

We've known the news for a few weeks now and decided to keep it a secret until we could tell our families in person.  As I've mentioned before, we worked so hard to have these sweet little lives that our families have been with us through every hurdle, including every bit of good news regarding the babies.. but its all been over the phone.  We wanted to share the exciting news with them in person and see their reaction in person, for once.  And BOY!!! (pun intended) Are we glad we did see it in person... and we are also glad we RECORDED this reaction to show the boys how excited their families were to have them before they were even here.

First, let me tell you how Trae and I found out.  We went in for our 15 week appointment when Dr Seeker said he was 100% sure he knew the babies genders.  Trae and I had dreamed of the moment when our OB would be able to tell us the gender of our baby...or babies and agreed we would want to have him write down the news so we could open it by ourselves at home.  We drove from our appointment so excited to know the news... both having our own guesses as to what our babies were going to be.  My Guess: 1 boy, 1 girl.   Trae's Guess:  2 Girls  

We were SO sure we were going to have a girl, we bought 2 beautiful baby girl dresses in Costa Rica!

We opened the note in front of our christmas tree and were SHOCKED!!  We laughed for a full 2-3 minutes before saying anything and then decided to keep it a secret until Christmas when we could surprise our families with the news.

The note reads "both babies are boys. :)"

We decided to tell our parents by surprising them with "It's a Boy" balloons wrapped in a big box.  We told them that we were going to find out the genders at our appointment on December 26th to keep up the surprise.  Here are their reactions:

It was so fun to surprise our family and start talking about all the fun twin boys are going to bring to the family.  We received lots of nice gifts for the babies including books, toys, sweet tiny outfits and Mommy received the diaper bag she was wanting & is looking forward to using in a few months!

We love our little boys so much already and can't wait to read all these stories to them one day about how much Mommy, Daddy and all our friends and family loved them so much before they were even here.

Merry Christmas!
