Boys Girls or Both?

   By now our shock had turned into excitement while we anxiously awaited the appointment! We, OK mostly I was obsessed with what the babies Genders would be. I was 17 weeks pregnant and the Dr said as long as babies cooperated we should be able to tell this appointment. Sometimes it's harder to see Genders with multiples because their squished in there. I was stressing I just had to know!           
     The weeks before my appointment I was watching gender reveals on YouTube and old wise tales, and I drove everyone crazy talking about it 24/7!!! It was killing me and the days felt like weeks passing.
   With my first I had a feeling he was a boy. I had bought boy cloths and referred to the baby as "he", I was so sure and I ended up being right!
   Now with these babies I kept going back and forth to all boys, to 2 boys and 1 girl. The day before my appointment I told people I'm 95% sure it's 2 boys and a girl. I thought baby A was a BOY baby B was a BOY and baby C was a GIRL. Baby C was so calm and always allowed the techs to get all their shots, and never wiggled off the monitors. So since that baby was so laid back and the other two never made things easy  I figured it had to be a girl!
    We headed to my Dr's office and met my parents, Gabriel's  sister rode with us and my Grammy, sister and son were going to head up and wait in the waiting room. We weren't excited at all!
    The ultrasound itself was 3 HOURS long. We were doing the anatomy of the baby's, about an hour for each. Gabriel didn't want to find out the Genders, he wanted the tech to write them down, so when we did our gender reveal we would be surprised along with our family. Not knowing was killing me, so about 2.5 hours into the appointment I cracked. WE HAVE TO KNOW NOW!!!
    I convinced Gabriel to allow the tech to tell us, this appointment we also found out Baby B and C might be identical so then I thought is it 2 girls and a boy. I was making myself go insane.
     The tech went over each baby and showed us. Baby A is a BOY!!!! Baby B is a BOY!!! Baby C is a BOY!!! OH... MY... GOD..... We're having three more boys. I was shocked excited and couldn't believe their wasn't one girl in there. I mean we had an 80% chance that we would have mixed genders and a 12% chance of them all being the same gender. I guess we just had to beat the odds once again.
    Everyone knew we were finding out the Genders but we made everyone who wasn't there wait until the next day. We filled 3 balloons with blue confetti and popped them to reveal the genders! 
    It was official we were expecting three baby boys. What kind of trouble are four boys going to get into who are just a year apart in school. Can you imagine what my grocery bill is going to be when their 16?! This is going to be a crazy adventure!
    Here's a picture of my baby bump at 17 weeks and our gender reveal picture. It's hard to see the color of the confetti but it is blue!
