Sorry if we have kept some of you in suspense overnight. After our big appointment yesterday, we did a little shopping at a mall nearby and celebrated with a delicious dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. (of course, I didn't get to enjoy my dinner too much. But I did get my favorite candy from See's, scotchmallow, so I was a happy camper!)

We have FINALLY attached some pictures of the babies. None of them show their male OR female anatomy until the last one. So, introducing the Fassett babies.........................


Yes, this baby is waving hello! These babies are very active and this one had his/her? hands waving around while the tech was taking all of the required measurements. It's really quite amazing all of the things they can check for at this early stage: brain development, fluid behind the neck, cleft lip, blood flow through the kidney, the arteries in the umbilical cord, etc, etc. Everything checked out fine and our babies are growing well!









I think this picture should be listed as the definition of the phrase "snug as a bug in a rug"!


Amazing, isn't it? We think they are too cute, but we are a little biased!



"Don't bother me, I'm snoozin'."






And last but not least, the shot you are waiting for.........Even though this is just one of the babies, both are this gender!!!



No, we don't have to worry about carrying on that Fassett name. We are blessed with two boys!! It's a little hard to tell in the picture. It's a shot of the cute little butt, with the male parts in the middle. I'm still not sure if the shock has completely worn off yet. When the tech told us that Baby A was a boy, I sat in disbelief for a while. Not that I don't love little boys, but I would have bet all my $ in Vegas that that baby was a girl. I had dreams about it, the tech was 80% sure at our last appt that he was a "she". So much for mother's intuition!! Jeff held my hand as she went over to the other baby. We didn't vocalize it to each other, but at that moment we both knew that the other one was going to be a boy too! Sure enough, a prominent boy part stared us straight in the face! Jim said I looked a little white for a minute! So, as much as it would have been a cool experience to do the boy/girl thing, our life is a bit simpler now. And most importantly, both babies looked healthy and are developing right on track.

In the end, 4 people ended up guessing boy/ boy. The winners are...............................

My dad, our friend TJ, my cousin Lynda and our neighbor Mike

Bella and I are totally outnumbered and Carolina was quite upset!! (but she has probably already gotten over it by now!!)

That's all for now-Stay tuned for a belly picture in the next few days!

Love to all, Rebeca and Jeff

Congratulations! This is great news for you, Rebeca - having two boys to dote on their mother is about as good as it gets. Jeff, on the other hand, will have to start boning up on his athletic skills so he doesn't have to be outplayed by a bunch of 4 year olds ;-)

I'm so excited for you...boys are awesome! I am partial on the subject. Your ultrasounds came out great, the boys were so cooperative. Jack always used to snuggle his face into the placenta every time, so we didn't get any good face shots until he was born. Congrats again on the exciting news.
