After our appointment last week, we wanted to pick up the kids a couple of Christmas gifts and then we saw these...

They were too cute to resist in their little newborn sizes and they aren't matching, which I think is a good thing.

We used the onesies to see if the kids could figure out that we were having two babies instead of one. We eventually had to tell them there was two. Brody, only being two, was like whatever. Jenna, at first, was laughing hysterically and seemed excited. Then, Aaron asked the kids what they thought the babies were (two girls, two boys, girl/boy)...

Brody said, "two boys."
Jenna said, "a girl and a boy."
We told them it was two boys and Jenna started crying and crying and crying. I felt so bad! She wanted a sister so much. :( Anyway, we eventually calmed her down by telling her that she got to be the "boss of the boys," and she was excited about that!

Pretty much none of our family believed us when we called them to tell them the news.

Me: Mandy, we just got done with our ultrasound and...
Mandy: You're having twins.
Me: Yep..
Mandy: SERIOUSLY?! Oh my god!

Me: Jess, we're having twins. Twin boys.
Jess: No you're not. I know you're not telling the truth because you don't find out what you're having.
5 minutes later, Jess: Jame, seriously be honest and tell me the truth.
Me: Jess we're having twins.
Jess: Oh no! Are you going to have to get a Kate Gosselin van?

Our parents were pretty laid back, although I think they were in a bit of shock too.
