Ribbons and Bows

I think their faces say it all. They are a little less than thrilled! Peyton is looking to Parker as if to say "Is she for real about this?". Parker is thinking "I'm afraid so brough". Every time you ask them if they want a brother or sister you usually get a big NO! Occasionally you will get "sister"...well that's a good thing cause that is what were having!

Aren't the boys outfits just lovely? It's Monday, It's raining, the boys are sick and Chris is out of town... this is about as close as it got to getting dressed today:)

After coloring in the sign so you could read it better, Parker decided he had had enough.

Peyton's thoughts on our news:)


OK. For those of you interested (mainly family) here are some 20 weeks pics. We've been slack up until this point and these are the first pictures this pregnancy. Wish I could find my 20 week pics with the boys. I think my mom has them on her computer and I will have to get them. I started out showing much earlier this time around...11 weeks and was looking bigger than with the boys up until around 18 weeks. Now I think I am a bit smaller (shew) at this point than with the boys. We shall see how it ends up!

A kiss for sister (a zerbert really, they think it is hilarious!)

Above are my first ultra sound pics of the boys, at 10 1/2 weeks. The one on top is before they found #2. You can see #2's foot to the right but in the pic the Dr. kept you can only see one baby. In the bottom pic you can clearly see the two babies! But, you can also see in the upper right hand corner where they originally labeled the ultra sound "single".

Above is still one of my favorite shots of the boys! This one was at 12 1/2 weeks.

Our newest little bean at 8 weeks...clearly there is only one! Trust me...3 ultrasounds later and there is just one!

Clearly you can see we were having two boys in these pics. No doubt about it!

And what, you may ask, do you see when you are having a girl? 3 glowing lines of course! Clearly there is no "knob" here. Though I am still waiting for a phone call telling me they got it wrong after all:) It's just "too good to be true"!

Now for the 3 profile shots. Of course the boys look similar...but she has the same nose as the boys! That came from me (Martha). You can also see how much bigger she is at 20 weeks...no one is stealing her food! The boys shared a placenta so they've been hording their food since day one:) Poor things have always had to share everything. The pic on top is Parker and the pic on the bottom is Peyton.

Only time will tell who she looks like. She already is much more active than the boys...I'm guessing because she has more room to roam!

I can't wait to dress her in all those cute smocked dresses and little outfits. To pull her hair up in pigtails and bows:) I'm so excited it's a girl because I most likely only have one summer left to dress the boys in the Jon Jon's and smocked outfits. Chris has been gracious so far. It's a good thing my mom can sew and smock...those outfits cost a fortune! Plus she will have "one of a kind":) My mom has already pulled out my dressed she smocked and even a dress my grandfather wore. So much fun!
