It's a boy and a girl!

We've now had 2 ultra sounds to confirm that our twins are a boy and a girl. They look healthy, except the girl is a little smaller. As a result, I have to see a maternal fetal medicine specialist for the remainder of my pregnancy. He's not sure exactly why there's a size difference so early, but hopefully it's nothing serious. All he suggested today as a possible problem would be "twin to twin" where one twin is getting too much blood, and the other isn't getting enough. If this is the case, I would have to go to L.A. or San Francisco to have "laser surgery" on the babies. Scary! I really hope they are fine, but we won't know for 3 weeks until our next appointment.
