Babies' sex

We got a BIG surprise last Thursday. We thought we probably could find out about babies' sex at our next ultrasound on November 10 but "S" and her husband planned a sex reveal on their way to our house. We certainly didn't see that coming. While we were sitting at the dinner table chatting late in the evening, they said they got presents for us - two big boxes and two small boxes wrapped beautifully with baby footprints and ribbons. 

We were really touched by their thoughtfulness. They told us to first open two bigger boxes - each contained a beautiful glass mug engraved with "Papa" for me and "Daddy" for DH. Then, they said two smaller boxes were gifts for the babies. "They are lucky babies and already getting their presents," I said as DH and I unwrapped the boxes with excitement and curiosity. DH got his open first and took out a gorgeous silver rattle with one of the babies' names engraved on the side plate. (We already had our names picked in rank order for boys and girls). "XYZ," DH read the name he got. I opened mine, another gorgeous silver rattle with another name and it was "ABC." As I was thinking that maybe each side of the rattle had different names, DH burst out "we've got ______?" I sat there feeling totally surprised and didn't react soon enough. There were already lots of hugging with excitement and congratulations. Right there, we were surprised with babies' sex. We are super excited!! Whatever their sex is, we had already prepared ourselves and love them regardless of anything. Knowing their sex makes the whole thing even more real.     

We also received a lovely card with ultrasound photos. It turned out "S" went for an ultrasound the day coming to our house and wanted to give us a big surprise. How exciting to finally have names for the babies - instead of Baby A and Baby B. DH was joking that we can now start shopping!!

"S," thank you so much for such wonderful gifts for our family. The photo on top showing the gorgeous presents we received. I have blurred babies' names. Below are ultrasound photos. Their wee-wee or hoo-ha is covered. ;-) 

For now, we are going to keep the babies' sex to ourselves but we promise it will be revealed soon. While you are eagerly waiting, there is a poll on the right side of the blog for you to guess. 

As this post is written, "1 boy and 1 girl" has 10 votes, "2 girls" has 2 votes and "2 boys" has 4 votes. 

Did babies' heartbeat rate confirm the sex? Did "S" dream of 1 girl and 1 boy come true?

Stay tune!
