IT'S A GIRL!!!!

Yes, that's right we are having a girl! Of course we are very excited, but a little in shock. Danny and I had both convinced ourselves this baby was a boy. Watching her through the ultrasound was so much fun. She looked really good (all the right parts in the right places) and is right on track for our original due date, July 20. I was so excited to get shopping, but as we went out yesterday, I was so overwhelmed! There are so many girl clothes!! But I am excited I can buy more than three styles of shirts, like I can only do with McKay. I've already bought the cutest little romper and jacket. As for names, we are at a total loss. Danny and I had no problems picking out boys' names, but girls' names are really hard for us. Here's a few ultrasound pictures, hope you enjoy them!

Here's the best profile we were able to get. She was moving around like crazy. Her hand is right by her mouth, and the woman doing the ultrasound said that she has my nose. I have no idea how she can tell.

She's saying hi! I love that!

Have you heard?

For all you "Twilight" fans, the fourth and final book comes out August 2. By saying that I can't wait, is to put it mildly! I just love these books. And this time around I won't have to feel guilty for staying up so late (my record is 3:00 AM for the third book), because I will already be up for late night feedings. I think I will have to be careful not to read between the feedings though. I will definitely be pre-ordering this book. And Stephenie Meyer's website says that the movie will come out this December. That's sooner than I expected, but I think the movie will be fun.

Now that February is over, some order has finally been restored in our house. Basketball have been over for a little while, but it was hard to celebrate right after because the season didn't end as well as Danny had hoped. He's already planning summer basketball (luckily this is just the month of June), and enjoying some free time. McKay had a two week break from being sick. He finally got over rotavirus, has gained some weight back, and made up for all the missed tantrums. We definitely have a two-year-old in the house. He's finally calmed down and gotten back to his regular sleeping schedule. I think he didn't sleep through the night or he refused to go to bed for all of February. This was especially hard, because he is normally a great sleeper. Oh well. But now he's just came down with a cold. The poor guy can't get a break! I can deal with colds though. Spring Break is in a few weeks, and I pray that all will be well by then so we can enjoy some warmer weather. Last week my friend, Breanna, starting teaching me how to sew. My mom is so amazing at this, but I didn't have any interest in sewing until after I moved away from home. My parents got me a great sewing machine about a year ago, and I have finally gotten over being scared of it. I am so picky with myself, sewing was too intimating for a while. I've already made a cute bag, and a super cute shirt and apron are in the making. I'm starting to get excited to make this baby a few things. I'll post pictures of my projects when I'm all finished. This last weekend I had a couple of symphony concerts. McKay lasted through the whole concert on Friday night and I was so proud. He normally only lasts about 20-30 minutes, but he made it though all two hours this time. At one point things got a little rough, so Danny pulled him into the corner and said that he need to stay in his seat and listen to Mama. McKay said okay and was great for the rest of the concert. I love the sweet boy that he is!

Sorry there's no pictures this post. On Thursday we get to find out what this baby is, so I'm hoping to post some good ultrasound pictures. Oh, and one more "proud mama" moment. Today McKay figured out that there can be two of an object all by himself. We've been working on numbers and counting, but today he saw two cars from the movie "Cars" in Walmart. So all day he's been saying, "two cars, two grapes, two feet, two Elmo..." I love watching him learn!
