It's A Girl!!!

Well, it's official! We have a baby girl on the way. Her name will be Ava Elisabeth. Adam had been having dreams that it was a girl, but for some reason, truly believed it was a boy and when she told us, we were both surprised (I must be an unfit mother because I had no indication either way of what the baby was going to be). The baby measured at 20 weeks, 1 day ( puts my due date at Sept 29th- yay! keep moving it up!) and she weighed 12 ounces...right on target. Adam and I left the dr.'s office to meet the family at Olive Garden for the big announcment. I had everyone choose a pin that had either a pink ribbon or a blue ribbon and they had to wear it proudly! After we ordered, I handed out envelopes that matched the color pin you were wearing. Of course, there were people that tried to peek - there are always some in every crowd- but when everyone had them I told them to open it up. The blue envelopes had an I.O.U dirty diaper change and the pink had a poem announcing a little girl. We had a great time and a few people surprised me and brought me gifts...Ava will love them.

Yosef or Yosefina? That is the question!

So, we have like 3 hours left until the *drumroll please* ultrasound. I'm like a little kid at Christmas....only this surprise is like the ultimate surprise, I'm not sure there is ever a surprise in life that is bigger than this one. It's coming down to the moment when the doctor will look at us and say "you are having a _________!" However, these last few hours leading up to it, OMG! Could time pass any more slower? I came into work with a list a mile long knowing that it would help keep my mind off of the time, and I have all but 2 things on the list done- the only reason I haven't finished these 2 things because I am waiting on responses before I can finish them. I need to go run some errands, maybe that will help take my mind of some things.....hopefully the next post I have will be introducing the newest App State mascot, Yosef or Yosefina! :)
