The nurse was having problems finding 2 heart beats (and this woman was pressing SOOO hard it seriously hurt) She said this was normal though because when they are small still, they are close together and you get an echo from the other, etc. The doctor finally came to see me, and spent about zero time with me...but she said "Since the nurse couldn't find the second heart beat, I'm gonna see if they can sneak you in really fast to grab the heart beats with an ultrasound".
While they were getting the heart beats, since I was so disappointed after last time that they wouldn't look to see the sex...I was like "Hey, while you're in there...can you look and see if you see anything between their legs?" lol... She looked at one, then the other. She said "It looks like you are having two little girls!"
YAY!! I would have loved having boys just a as much, but I am just really excited to find out so that we could pick names, start the nursery, add clothing and stuff to the registry, and just plan more! It's much easier to imagine what it will be like when they are here when I know if I'm supposed to be picturing two girls or boys, haha.
We also chose the names for the girls, and I'm very happy.
Hazel Rose Flowers. - Hazel is my grandmother Flower's name. I love the names that are a throwback and kind of classic. However, many of them are over used. So, this was perfect. I could honor grandma by naming one after her, and use a beautiful timeless name that isn't quite as common.
Choosing the middle name was somewhat of a challenge. I wanted something that was delicate and feminine. I didn't want her name to be too overwhelming with the first name...so Rose my husband and I thought was a nice feminine name. It also sticks with the theme of our family name Flowers.
Alaina Lyric Flowers - Alaine is my mother's middle name. I wanted to use it in some way. I like names like Sophia, Olivia, etc. but they are used a lot as well. Alaina I thought was a beautiful twist on the name Alaine.
Lyric as a middle name just really struck a chord with me. I love music, I always have. The name was musical, and pretty, and something about it makes me think of a carefree little girl.
PS - people have asked and they are confused... My last name is Flowers. My mother's maiden name, my grandma/grandpa's last name was Flower. My adoptive father Aaron and his family's last name is Flowers. That is the last name I have. My husband chose because of personal reasons to change his name to Flowers, so that is why we all have that name. I realize some people were really taken aback by the last name thing.
In other news: President Obama was re-elected last night! I didn't go to bed until like 2:30 am because I was so excited, and because of all the idiotic comments I was reading on facebook. Seriously....these people say stuff like "I hope the Obama supporters suffer"; "Tomorrow I'll go to work and support all these baby poppers, jobless Obama supporters".... OK... first, last time I checked, most of the areas that Obama won, are areas full of educated, college graduates. Most of the rural areas, with the less educated...go Republican.
Also, I am a married, 28 year old, college educated woman. If I want to start my family now..I should be able to without feeling guilty. I have worked since I was 15 years old. I put myself through college, and have worked my way up at my job to a position in which I'm able to make a decent living. I am a Democrat, and it has nothing to do with me wanting any sort of hand outs. I just have certain beliefs and values, and think Republicans do not represent those interests.
I am cooking Harold a pumpkin pie :) He works late today, and will be extremely happy to see this when he gets home!
