two days until we know your secret

Dear twins in my belly,

On Wednesday of this week we will know your secret.... We will know if we will have two members of a hockey team or two gymnasts, we will know if putting you in rompers and dresses will be appropriate or just cruel, we will know if we should lean more towards blues and greens than pinks and purples.... quite simply, we will know if you are two boys or two girls.

I am so excited to find out what you are so that you will become even more real to me.  I am so excited at the prospect of naming you and starting to think of you as individual unique babies that are ours. 

When we first found out that you had taken up residence in my tummy I secretly, well maybe not so secretly, hoped that you were of a certain gender.  As time has passed and with Wednesday fast approaching, I now only hope that you are each healthy and growing and happy where you are. 

I hope that you are ready to let us in on your secret.... if one of you happens to be shy like your Mommy once was, that is okay too.... we only really need one of you to cooperate since you are identical twins.

So looking forward to Wednesday...

xoxo mommy
