Introducing Hayden and Reese Shepherd

On Thanksgiving week Monica (my wife) was able to sneak in to have an ultrasound done. We saw that baby A was a boy, but the other one wouldn't flip over.  The doc said that she might have to use the baby taser. All I could think of was the viral video where the guy says, "Don't tase me bro." I'm not sure if she was joking, but I wasn't going to allow her to tase my wife, which would tase my baby, to get it to flip over.  Needless to say we didn't get to see the gender of baby B.

Yesterday we went to our official ultrasound. Because of all the issues that Monica has had with this pregnancy and with getting pregnant we are nervous before each appointment.  We both take a huge deep breath before the doc speaks.  Every time the doc pauses we are hoping that negative words don't come out their mouth.  I think they can tell we are nervous.  This doc immediately told us that she was taking pauses because she didn't want to mix the babies up. She quickly told us that both babies looked great.  We are so thankful that both babies are healthy!

I feel like it's mildly inappropriate to show the pictures due to the fact that these pictures show all their glory. So many people have asked to be updated and to see pictures that we wanted to share. Don't expect more naked pictures once they are born. Although I have said that for their first two years putting them in clothes is a waste. Babies are nothing but P3 - poop, pee, and puke.  If it was up to me I'd cover my house with plastic, let them roam in all their glory, and then just spray everything down on a regular basis. I digress. We are having two boys and their names are Reese and Hayden.  Here are some pics...
