Sugar & spice, and everything nice...

We're having TWO GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am SO excited! The scan this morning went great, with the exception of one disappointment.. They weren't able to get a clear shot of Baby A's nasal bone, which indicates a marker for down syndrome. Our bloodwork came back awesome at 1 in 100,000, but with the marker it brings it down to 1 in 5,000. According to the doctor we spoke with, those odds are still good. And since there were no other indications pointing towards down syndrome, he doesn't think we have anything to worry about.

Of course I'm still going to be a bit worried. I'm hoping, like the doctor said, the issue was just that they couldn't get a good picture, or it hasn't fully developed at this point. Hopefully a future u/s will clear that up so we can breathe easier.

The girls (SO weird to say that) are so active! Baby A was flip flopping and being a little butt when the u/s tech tried to check out her heart. I think we have a couple trouble makers on our hands!

My cervix measured at a 4.5 which is great. They're looking for anything over a 3.. so far, so good!

I CAN'T WAIT to start really planning the nursery decorations and buying furniture.. and of course clothes! I'm not going to go nuts since I have someone from work giving me 3 bins of baby girl clothes next week (score!) but I fully intend on buying a couple cute outfits this weekend.

Lastly, here are a couple shots of each of the girls..
