Oh, what a night!!

Saturday night, Mark and I had our family over for the big "gender reveal!"  Since Mark and I cheated and found out Wednesday, we decided it would be special to have our moms cut the cakes!


The cakes!!!  We had to stand guard once our family started arriving.  I just knew my mom was going to swipe some icing to reveal the color underneath.


Baby A is a BOY!!  

My mom cut into Baby B's cake!  What you can't see is that she is sobbing!  We were all so excited!


Baby B is a GIRL!!


My niece, Ashley!  She and her brother, Austin, are the first set of boy/girl twins in our family!


This might be the worst picture I've ever taken, but how cute are my babies!!  My sister in law, Jessica, gave me these frames as a Christmas present.  She was convinced I was having a boy and a girl!


We are just overjoyed!  I was completely convinced that I was having two little boys!  I would have loved that, too, but this is just perfect.  Mark has been saying since the very first ultrasound that we were having a boy and a girl.  He might just be the happiest man alive right now.  We are just so grateful to God for these two little miracles. We have such wonderful friends and family who already love these babies so much, and have been praying for them from the moment they were conceived.  Mark and I continue to pray for their health and safety.  We pray that they will be born healthy and strong and will know from the moment they enter this world they their mom and dad love them so much.  Now we have to really narrow down our names.  We have a top 5 list of boy and girl names.  Hopefully, we will choose one soon.  I want to start praying for my babies by name.  If you are reading this, please keep our little boy and girl in your prayers.  We believe in the power of prayer and we covet all that we can get.
