The Mailhes Project

Current Project: 3 kids under 2

Boys, Girls or Both?

Among many questions on our mind (such as, but definitely not limited to: “how do you feed twins” “do they wake each other up all night long” “how do you pack all 3 kids in the car” “DO you ever go anywhere with 3 kids under 2”), the next big question was- will it be boys, girls or boy/girl twins?

We had the early blood test done just like we did with Colbie, but with twins they can only tell you if a Y Chromosome exists or not. In other words we would know if there was at least one boy or not, but wouldn’t know the gender of both until the anatomy sonogram.

We were in the midst of building our new dance studio (yes LOTS on our plate, but apparently that’s how we roll) as I waited for the results. I was driving to the studio to meet Trey for some last minute projects we were needing to do before we could move in when the Dr. called with the results. I simply cannot keep anything a secret from him so I knew if I wanted to tell him in a special way I would have to do it RIGHT THEN. We needed something for dinner so I picked up some pizza and gave him the news that way. Trey was convinced it was twin girls (I think maybe he was just preparing himself for a house FULL of girls and the drama that would ensue with that combination).

Here’s what I found out…
there-is-a-boy

Not the fanciest way to tell your husband that he will in fact get to be a boy dad, but he was excited nonetheless.

So it was either a boy and a girl or a 2 boys and we had to wait to find out…
