Oh happy day!

Today has been nothing short of fantastic for 2 reasons: 
First off, I took my final last night. It took me 3 hours to take this test. It was so long and so hard. I have been teetering on the verge of a B all semester. And let me say that throughout my journey of going to school while working, being a wife and mama I've had my challenges. All were faced head on and conquered without hesitation.  But boy let me tell you, going to school while pregnant, especially in those first few months of complete and utter sick & tiredness, were BRUTAL. So to sit here and be able to say that I kicked some tail on my final and made a B in the class is nothing short of miraculous.  Sometimes you just have to brag on yourself and that my friends is what I'm doing!  I can say I will never go to school preggers again but by God I did it! =) Ok, ego aside, I will now move on the next, and most exciting news for the week..
I have been asked several times which gender I prefer and I always feel a little funny about picking one gender over another.  Of course, all we want is for the baby to be healthy. But deep, deep down I have to admit that I really wanted a girl. We have a little boy now that is slowly going from mama's boy to daddy's boy. I knew it would happen eventually. So I knew I would need someone else on my team. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm totally out numbered here. I'm shushed during football games and pelted with Nerf darts for Pete's Sake. It was necessary that I have a girl. A comrade. A muchacha. Someone to paint my nails with and  look at pretty things only to say a million times "Oh that's so cute!".  So we were absolutely over joyed to find out that we are indeed having a girl!  Pretty pink bows and ruffle dresses here we come!

What's even more perfect is that everything looks great on the ultrasound.  All fingers and toes are accounted for.  With Christmas fast approaching, I couldn't have asked for a better gift than to have a happy, healthy family and a beautifully healthy baby girl on the way. 

Count your blessings, pray for those less fortunate and give those you love a big hug and kiss!

With love,
The Mrs.
