Quick update

This is my abbreviated update...no frills to be added as we are expecting a lot of company this weekend and will be traveling the better part of next week (time is crucial)!

Confirmed: We are SURE. We are CERTAIN. We are THRILLED to announce that this baby is, in fact, a little girl as originally predicted. What a precious sight she was! I made the brave (maybe crazy) decision to take both of our girls to this ultrasound while Scott was on-call. We got there a little before our appointment at 3pm and were not seen until 4:30 pm. Yes, I was in the waiting room with two tired little girls who TOTALLY arose to the occasion. It is amazing what dangling a "pink" milkshake can do to a little girls behavior (Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures). Addy stayed in her stroller for two hours and when we got in there. Mary Ella enjoyed playing "mother hen" carefully giving her one Teddy Graham at a time to adequately stretch out our supply and time.....amazing! I can't say enough about how wonderful they were. Needless to say, Mary Ella got the "pink" milkshake and I got myself a chocolate one! Addy got lots of hugs and kisses after making it through a day with only one 10 minute nap without any meltdowns. I'm telling you, the ONLY way to describe this is Devine intervention.

Interviews: We are traveling to Tyler, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana for back to back interviews. We are hoping to have a calm, settled Memorial Day weekend here at home.

Congrats on your 3rd little girl. That is great news.

We missed you last weekend, but know this is a really important and hectic time for you guys.

Good luck with the interviews. I hope you find your new "home". Be safe in your travels.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
