We're having a...

GIRL!! 

Here is a little picture of her trying to be shy and hide her face with her hand.  We had our 2nd trimester ultrasound yesterday and found that we are going to be having a little girl.  According to the ultrasound, she looks healthy as can be.  She has 10 little fingers and 10 little toes, a good looking spine and a strong, healthy heart.  

You are NOT Going to Believe This...

What you see before you is an actual prize that Jamie pulled out of an actual General Mills Cereal Box, that is an actual $5 credit card!  Can you believe it?  I have been combing cereal boxes since I was like four, and I believe this was the most exciting find.  (Although I was not present this morning at the discovery,  I feel the energy. Come on, who has the Trix Rabbit on a credit card?) You know how they say on these promotions you can be an instant winner?  Well... we were.  This is big.  This just made up for two days of getting home from work late.   Okay, I'm done, if anything is worthy of the blog, this definitely is worthy.
