Thumbs up!

Two...

Boys! We took a survey of family members as to the sexes of the twins. As it turned out all the women voted boy-girl and all of the men voted girl-girl! Two new Cutlers are on the way...and they're both boys!

This was a very brief visit to the doctor, and all was well. The doctor used a doppler to listen to the heartbeats. We thought we heard both heartbeats, but it's kinda hard to tell if your hearing the same heartbeat or two separate ones. The auditory experience was definitely different from the recent video views. It made our expectations rise for our next visit when we would find out the sex(es) of our little sprouts.

This was our second ultrasound to make sure everything was still going well. By this time our shock and anxiety from the news of twins had worn off (for the most part), and we had a lot of fun seeing how much they had grown in the past 4 weeks. They definitely had taken on a more baby-like appearance, and two strong heartbeats meant they were doing fine.

First Ultrasound

Sarah and I went to the doctor's office for our first ultrasound on September 9, 2008. Everything seemed normal and routine, and then the ultrasound technician said "Well Miss Sarah (short pause)...you're having twins." I gave out a "Ha!" and asked if she was joking. Sarah seemed stunned, to say the least. Gasps and "are you sure" were exclaimed. This was no ultrasound technician humor... we were expecting twins!

Holy Smokes!
