What is the gender of the Bindra babies?!?!?!

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound and with a lot of anticipation we found out the gender! As the weeks got closer and closer to find out our babies gender, the harder it was. I had so many dreams the past few weeks on what we where having. Last night I had two dreams, one being 2 baby girls and the second dream being a boy and girl. We all went to the ultrasound with much anticipation and excitement! (I think our moms were more giddy than we were!) When the ultrasound tech walked in, she immediately asked if we wanted to know the gender and we both said OF COURSE! I thought she would tell us at the end of the ultrasound but it was the first thing she told us….and we both will be seeing a whoooole lotta PINK in our future! Yes, we are expecting two baby girls!!!

We are both super excited and of course I can’t wait to start shopping!

Akhil’s first reaction was absolute excitement and then his second reaction was that he will be broke and will have to work forever now! Haha! It’s true…his heart will melt for his darling daughters and they will know their daddy will spoil them!


Here is Baby Girl A. We didn't get very clear pictures of her. She was sleeping and wouldn't be bothered to move so we could get good a picture. So if you look closely you will see her face in the center and the big circle on the left is her abdomen.


Here is Baby Girl A's head with her hand under her head.


Baby Girl B was laying face down in the fetal position the entire time.

Both babies didn't like the ultrasound very much.

Here is another shot of Baby Girl B in the fetal position. From time to time during the ultrasound they would begin a kicking war and kick each other! It was pretty neat!

Woohoo...Our "Babymoon"!

We really wanted to go on a nice warm vacation before our life gets crazy and hectic so we decided to go to the Florida Keys. I have always wanted to visit there and this is the perfect time since I can't fly out of the continental US. We decided to go a lot earlier than most people go on their last vacation before they have their baby because I don't know how much longer they will let me fly. So this is probably it and we won't be doing any flying until after the babies are born! Yes, I said it - We won't be traveling much! (Akhil thinks we can take the babies to South East Asia as infants..little does he know!)

Here are some pics from our sunny vacation in Key West and Key Biscayne!

The Bindra Babies' Personalities

So I realized that I never really told you about both babies personalities. It is very interesting that they both have their own little personalities that we are seeing on the ultrasounds!

So here is a little introduction to our little ones in utero!

So Baby A as they call him/her on the ultrasound is more of the calm baby. Usually is just sleeping and laying around. I think Baby A is pretty chill like his/her daddy. It seems to me that Baby A is probably going to be the caretaker.

Baby B is so hyper and always moving around. This little cutie is always waving his/her hands, kicking, summersaulting, launching from one end of my belly to the other. We have seen Baby B kick Baby A on the ultrasounds and Baby A definitely gives it back to his/her sibling!

It's really cute that they are always together on either side of me. As far as I have seen they have never separated to the far left and right side of my belly to be apart! My babies definitely like to cuddle and play with each other. Sorta seems like they already don't like to be without each other! Sooo cute!!!

So here is a picture from my 14 week ultrasound of my both precious ones!
You will see they are labeled "Baby A" and "Baby B"


We are anxiously awaiting for our ultrasound next week to find out the gender of our little ones!

Pregnancy - 17 Weeks

Today we had a doctor’s appointment and our little babies are doing quite well! It has been quite sometime since I have seen my doctor because she was out of the office when I had my other appointments. They didn’t really do all that much at this appointment so it was pretty uneventful. They just took my fundal measurement, my weight, and we heard both heard beats thru some gadget! It always seems more real when we hear the hearts beating!

Our little peanuts are no longer little peanuts, they are now the size of an ONION…yeah an onion! I never thought onions are cute but I do think my babies are! So I have two onion sized babies inside me!

We will have our big halfway ultrasound on February 26 and we will find out the gender of our precious little babies!!! I can’t wait! As the time gets closer, I am getting more impatient. I want to know NOW so I can start shopping and getting things ready!

On the right side column, I have a voting poll of what gender combo you think we will have...so put your vote in! A few people have requested a prize....so the prize is a weekend of babysitting! :)


Here is the picture we took last week.

Yeah I know its kinda gay to have a sign like that but when you take belly shots all the time, it gets confusing as to which week we took which picture.
