drum roll please...........

(The above was the cake-topper at our Texas baby shower!)

We are having a boy and a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG we are so EXCITED! The thrill of knowing what our two little twins are is the most amazing feeling in the world. We can now call them by their names instead of twin A and twin B. Our sweet boy is Hendrix Ray, yes after the one and only Jimi Hendrix. Our precious little girl is Vivienne Lynne.

As for our appointment, both twins look wonderful and are perfectly healthy so far. Hendrix is 11oz and Vivi is 9oz. They looked so perfect in the ultrasound. Hendrix was waving and moving around non-stop and Vivi was giving us the thumbs up! hahahaha. As most of you know Brittany Lynne (my little sis AKA our egg donor) goes to school at Texas A&M. At this school Gig'em is what all the students and Aggie fans say to represent their school. When you say "Gig'em, Aggies!" you need to make a fist with your thumb extended straight up. (if you curious of this tradition check out this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditions_of_Texas_A%26M_University) Anyway, our point is that little Vivienne is giving the thumbs up for her Aunt Brittany!

We do have to go back to get a second ultra sound next month just to double check Vivi's heart. The doctor said it is nothing to worry about, but today she was facing down and they couldn't get a clear picture of her heart. So please keep them in your prayers that they continue to grow strong and healthy.

As for us we can't stop smiling. Neither one of us have ever experienced this much joy. It was so exciting calling the grandparents on three-way so we could tell them all at the same time. I don't think I have ever heard my mom (who will be called YaYa) and Ray's mom (who we would like to be called Mamyte which is a very endearing way to say mom in Lithuanian) scream so loud. hahahaha. It was so awesome! Ray's dad (we're not sure what he will be called yet) was very excited too, but it was hard to hear him over the loud excitement of the two grandmas! hahahaha.

Thank you for all your emails, text messages and phone calls. We are so happy you all love us and our children so much. They are very lucky to be born into a life full of love.

Hugs & Kisses,
Ray & Jules
