29w5d: Bonus Blast from the Past

I'm cleaning out my work email (Friday nights on bedrest are super exciting) and I found this email exchange between David and me from the day I went for the sex ultrasound (read from the bottom up). He had said he didn't want to know until he came home from work, plus I was kind of annoyed that he didn't come with me to the appointment, so I was being coy. And on top of everything else, back in November he had failed to tell one of his sisters that I was pregnant! We wanted to tell her at the same time we were calling all the other family, but she and her husband were traveling. David is also just not good at sharing big news. He still hadn't told her when we found out we were having twins in December. She finally found out from their other sister, and she was rightfully upset with David. He placated her by saying that he'd tell me to call her with the sex news before he even knew. I hope the babies enjoy reading this exchange someday!

Do I have to call her to find out?

[NB: At this point, I called him and told him we were going to be parents to a girl and boy. He was so excited--and I don't think he'll ever keep news from his sister again.]

Yup. This is payback for making me go by myself. What if something had been wrong with one of them?? I would have been alone to process that!

There is no third baby. :) They both looked very cat friendly. Both were very wriggly.

Murray just wants cat friendly companions. Will Jenna be happy?

What makes Murray happy? He's currently in the office with me sitting on some paper. He looks content.

Do you want to know now or wait until you get home?

Just fyi, the babies have "gorgeous development." Everything looks normal.
