Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

As part of my continous effort to keep everyone here happy I have arranged for the twins to be....

A boy and a girl.


I had the 3-D Sono and girl baby looks just like my Erin while boy baby looks like his big brother Ryan. Girl is 1 pound 1 ounce and boy is 13 ounces.

We are at 21 weeks 6 days and I look like I could give birth any minute. I can not imagine how much bigger I could get.

We are all tickled pink and blue here at the Barrett house.

How convenient of you to plan that for the sake of peace in the ranks. Very funny. Congratulations!

Oh, Mary Ellen!
That's just what I always wanted.    
You are so blessed.

I've enjoyed (and will enjoy) following your pregnancy with you.

Thanks for letting us share it with you.
