Both babies are a-ok.

Wonderful! Boys, girls, one if each? (If you did the blood tests).

The bloodwork we did won't tell us.  If anything looks suspicious, we'll move forward with the Harmony test, which can identify the sex of one baby only.

UNLESS they are di/di identicals :-D

Do you want to find out (via u/s)?

ninjabridemom - yes, of course! Which...I guess we wouldn't know that they were di/di identicals until after they were born...

The u/s technician said that she "wouldn't be surprised" if baby B is a girl. My gut still says baby B is a boy, and I said as much. She said, "well, I also wouldn't be surprised if they were both boys!" So, we'll find out for sure (as long as they cooperate) at 21 weeks. When we thought it was just one, we were all about the surprise factor and waiting until birth. Now we've had all the surprise we need, and we're finding out.

HAHA that's exactly how we felt. I was so gung ho about not finding out and then got the shock of twins.

I know people who didn't find out until birth w twins/trips and I applaud them. I could not handle that much unknown after the blast of multiples, lol.

Do you not have another ultrasound until 21 weeks? Or is that just when the a/s is? I'm surprised they wouldn't do another ultrasound sometime in between - but I know my situation is different than yours so I have no idea what's normal.

We found out at 17ish weeks. I was totally the same way - I wanted to be surprised until I found out it was twins, then I needed to feel as prepared as possible.

My gut was always at least one boy in there. I painted their dresser blue before I found out.

trafficgirl, that's the next scheduled u/s. We had one at our last visit (10.5 weeks) because the nurse practitioner couldn't be sure she was hearing two heartbeats with the doppler. I go in again at 16 weeks and a few days, so perhaps we'll have one then, too. If we do, I definitely want to sneak a peak!
