So we went to the doctor yesterday and he did an ultrasound. He began by asking Emily whether she is having a brother or sister. She confidently said a brother and a couple minutes later the doctor said, "I'm proud to announce there's a 98 % chance you are having a . . . GIRL!!! The look on Emily's face was priceless. She slumped down in her chair with the most disappointed look I have ever seen. In the car on the way home she said, "Just send it back!" I think she's over it now and we are all really excited. Aaron would have liked a little more testosterone in the house, but he's perfectly excited to have another little girl. I'm just excited because now I don't have to get anything ready. I have all the clothes and crib and bedding so I don't have to stress. Now I can look forward to another little helper with my domestic projects. I got my sewing machine out this week to mend some of Aaron's clothes and Emily got all excited...

Emily was a pirate for Halloween (I couldn't talk her into a princess ;). She started out the festivities at preschool on Thursday with a Halloween carnival. On Halloween, she and I went up to my Mom's for the trunk or treat at the park. Later we picked up Aaron to go to a party at some friends. See if you can guess what we are dressed up as; please don't say nerds :) One of the games was to eat a raspberry filled donut off a string as a couple and guess who won . . . WE DID! The winner of the Fear Factor challenge and his date. After eating baby food, sardines, and pickled pigs feet, Aaron won us dinner at Olive Garden. I'm so proud of him! (by the way I wasn't pissed on Halloween, it's part of my character) Emily fighting a 2 year old with a foam sword, poor kid, odds are not in her favor The whole gang. Thanks Alyssa and Gentry for the awesome party! We had a blast!
