Not sure how BIG this announcement is, since most of you probably already know…

We’re having … (drum roll, please) two GIRLS!

It’s very exciting and overwhelming (seems to be the theme of pregnancy/parenting).

Both of us have all nephews (Ben has 5 and I have 2), so these will be the first girls on either side of our family. The first grandaughters for both sets of grandparents. The first girl cousins and the first nieces. Are you seeing pink yet?

We found out about the girls at our March appointment, but we wanted to wait a while before telling everyone, giving us a chance to think up a fun way to share with our mothers. We sent them both packages with little 2 gift bags each containing a pair of pink socks. We got to watch Delina’s mom open her package and tear up on webcam (a 3-way Skype call with the Aparicios) and listened to Ben’s mom scream over the phone (while his dad took pics for us). It was a fun way to share and catch their excitement.

In His providence, God sent us friends who have twin girls (Maxton’s age). Rest assured that I’ve already started peppering her with questions and she’s already gifted us with our first bag of clothes!

In addition to the excitement about the impending arrival of the McPryce ladies, we’re thrilled to share that the twins are doing great. At Wednesday’s ultrasound they estimated that each twin weighs 2 lbs. 7 oz. already. Yes, I’m already carrying 5 lbs. of baby, plus 2 big fat placentas and amniotic fluid…and there are 91 days until my due date.
