On Thanksgiving week Monica (my wife) was able to sneak in to have an ultrasound done. We saw that baby A was a boy, but the other one wouldn’t flip over. The doc said that she might have to use the baby taser. All I could think of was the viral video where the guy says, “Don’t tase me bro.” I’m not sure if she was joking, but I wasn’t going to allow her to tase my wife, which would tase my baby, to get it to flip over. Needless to say we didn’t get to see the gender of baby B.
Yesterday we went to our official ultrasound. Because of all the issues that Monica has had with this pregnancy and with getting pregnant we are nervous before each appointment. We both take a huge deep breath before the doc speaks. Every time the doc pauses we are hoping that negative words don’t come out their mouth. I think they can tell we are nervous. This doc immediately told us that she was taking pauses because she didn’t want to mix the babies up. She quickly told us that both babies looked great. We are so thankful that both babies are healthy!
I feel like it’s mildly inappropriate to show the pictures due to the fact that these pictures show all their glory. So many people have asked to be updated and to see pictures that we wanted to share. Don’t expect more naked pictures once they are born. Although I have said that for their first two years putting them in clothes is a waste. Babies are nothing but P3 – poop, pee, and puke. If it was up to me I’d cover my house with plastic, let them roam in all their glory, and then just spray everything down on a regular basis. I digress. We are having two boys and their names are Reese and Hayden. Here are some pics…
Yay! We are pregnant and having boys!!! Love you!
Yay!, Two, …. errr …. "thumbs" up! Happy for you and M. Blessings.
Love the names!!! So happy for you guys!!! See you soon!
Congratulations! What great names! I'm so excited for you guys!
Congrats! Love the names.
SO excited for ya'll. And your name choices are perfect!! Monica, in a few years, when you're overwhelmed by all the testosterone in the house, call me and we'll go get mani/pedis and buy pink clothes for ourselves!!
oh, and on the naked pictures. you will definitely have more naked pictures. maybe not on your blog, but little boys love to be naked. we have more pictures of james in his underwear than in clothes. some people take off their socks and shoes at the door; my son takes off all of his clothes.
the way that james explains it, however, is that he is in his "wrestling suit." if andy asks him if he wants to wrestle, he says "YES!" and promptly gets down to his superhero tighty whities. hahaha!! welcome to the world of boys!
Very Happy and Excited for you guys! You are FANtastic parents!
Congratulations on this leg of your journey. Buckled up, the ride is F-A-S-T!
God's Peace,
Charlotte-Marie Callins
Congrats! Looking forward to exciting days ahead with Reese and Hayden.
Yay for two boys! LOVE their names! still praying for 2 healthy boys! 😀
These little dudes are kind of a big deal… everyone is praying for them and for you and Mon! I am so blessed to know you guys and be a part of this journey! Love you all… We are excited to meet these little superheroes!
This is just spectacular!! "What a man!" Love it. God bless y'all!
Congratulations to both of you!!!
Great! The guys certainly have moved into the majority in the Shepherd clan. Love, Did
I personally enjoy they have the EDD as 3 days apart. Guessing Monica's not thinking that's okay.
I'm amused that they have the EDD as 3 days apart. I'm thinking Monica isn't gonna go for that.
WOO HOO!!!!!!! I am so thrilled for you guys and SOOOOO happy that everything is going well and both baby BOYS are healthy. You have no idea how I've hurt for you guys knowing what you all are going through. It brings back so many memories… Please know that your boys are prayed for often…from a mommy and twin boys who have been there!!! God is still in the miracle business and trust me, it only gets better everyday! Funny, I have a pic of you and Mon holding John and Timmy when they were babies. God's prophecy disguised:) Love you guys so much!
