It's A

Here is the long awaited news :-) but first and foremost the babies got a clean bill of health today which was such a relief. We will get the official word on everything from our dr. next week at my 20 week appointment but so far everything looks great.
Well...it looks like we have 1 of each on the way...It's A BOY and a GIRL...I don't think it gets any better then that!

Twin A is our Girl and measured at approx 19 weeks 3 days and 9oz
Twin B is our Boy and measured approx 20 weeks 0 days and 11 oz

They said it was normal for the boys to be bigger then the girls so although they are not measuring the same any longer it seems to be normal and both are actually measuring ahead as I am only 19 weeks 0 days today.

And now for the Name Game....

Twin A was easy as we have had a girl name picked for some time and have yet to change our minds so our little girl is Taryn Grace
Twin B was a little trickier but we ended up deciding on Evan Reece

A couple years back we were searching for baby names and through our searching decided to look up Welsh baby names (to honor some of Chad's heritage) and came across the name Tarren for a girl which we loved the name but not the spelling so we flipped to the American spelling...that was easy and the middle name came a bit later but seemed to fit perfectly. We had Noah picked for a boy for sometime but over the last couple of years the name has become very popular so we went back to the drawing board. A couple weeks ago I just got on the web and started searching boy names made a list and gave it to Chad for him to scratch out any names that he did not like. I figured we would start w/ names that we both liked and go from there. By the time we went through all the names a few times we ended up w/ Evan and Hunter in the front...so I started looking up meanings of the names...no surprise Hunter means 'one who hunts' not too exciting LOL....but Evan means 'God is Gracious' (how could we not pick this)...so I shared the info w/ Chad and I think the meanings really swayed him on his decision...it seemed perfect. To top it off Evan happens to be a Welsh name as well (though we did not do this on purpose). Evan's middle name came from an idea Chad got from reading an article about baby name trends and one thing they suggested doing we using family names...Chad thought of his grandmothers maiden name Reese...however, the boy spelling is Reece so we had to change it a bit :-) and Reece means 'Fiery' could you imagine the irony if he comes out a redhead LOL.
