GW said there were TWO
I don't think I've shared this story before...
Shortly after we found out we were expecting we decided to tell the boys at dinner one night. I had not been to the doctor yet and although we joked about it being twin girls we were SURE it was just one and most likely a boy. {grin} Anyway... we played a guessing game with the boys, giving them clues and such until they guessed correctly. They thought it was a puppy, kitten, our dog was preggo... and then they finally figured it out. They were THRILLED!
Later that night Gavin was talking to Paul and said "there are TWO babies in mom's belly" He was around 3 1/2 years old. We had never talked about anyone having more than one baby at a time... they didn't know anyone... and they had never seen twins before. Paul laughed and told Gavin that there was no way there were 2 babies in there.
over the next few weeks Gavin brought it up again and we asked him why he thought there were 2 babies in there {expecting to hear that I was getting big or such.. because I was} but no... he said Jesus told him. I decided that since having twin girls had been a joke since I was preggo with Grayson I would just get online and look up symptoms and such. I even took a 'twin' test... and nope... no signs, nothing, and according to the twin test I had a .05% chance of having twins. So okay... it WAS just a joke.. not a sign from God or anything. {Grin}
11 weeks preggo and I finally went to my OB to 'confirm' my due date of my ONE little baby. I thought that I was around 16 weeks preggo and since this was my 5th pregnancy I was going to get bigger quicker anyway. When my OB walked into the room we chatted a bit and then she said "let's see how many babies are in there".. we had not talked about twins and she normally doesn't say things like that. So anyway... she turns the u/s on and what do you know... right away there are 2 little blobs. She started laughing... "Oh my, there are 2 in there". I just giggled... somewhere deep inside I KNEW it. I knew God was going to give us twins and GIRLS. From that moment I felt very confident they were girls. I was so at peace because I knew they were girls... even without seeing it.
through out my pregnancy we would occasionally talk about how Gavin KNEW that there were 2 babies in there and he told us the story over and over again how Jesus told him and a few times he would say "they are girls too"
who would have thought!
TWO... GIRLS!
and we had joked about it for years...
