Today Jim and I went in for our 18 week ultrasound. We found out that there are two little girls coming into our family soon!!! They were moving around so much and wiggled a lot for the ultrasound person.
My calm little Ethan was a little upset that at least one is not a boy to play with. I tried to tell him that it will be cool to be the only boy and all the clothes, toys, etc. we buy for him are his while Lizzie will have to share. I also have told him girls like to play cars and stuff just like Lizzie does with him. I know he will be a great big brother and already is talking to the babies and telling me how he is going to teach them how to play cars :) Lizzie I don't think understands too much yet so I will have more stories about her reaction later.......
It was actually good that it was girls because we only had two girl names picked out. Whoever is born first will be named Afton and the second little baby will be called Lilly. Afton is where Jim's mom was born and Lilly has special significance to Jim's dad. We have both liked the names for awhile so it just seemed like a natural fit.
Everything looks good with the babies so far and we are excited now that we know what they are so that we can start planning a little bit more.

While we are on the baby subject, I found this quote the other day that I really liked-
"When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. he doesn't stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother's heart, and she puts it into the baby's mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies."
-E.T. Sullivan
