it's a...and a...

yesterday was a huge day for us.  there was a lot of stress leading up to this day and it looks like we can start relaxing a little bit...once we've moved into our new house!  we closed last night and now are frantically getting ready to move in.  we're so excited to have a place of our own to bring home our next baby.

we also had our ultrasound yesterday and found out we're having a girl!  we were totally surprised because we were positive it was another boy.  we didn't really have a preference either way, but we are beyond excited to welcome a little girly to our family in july.

 this is the best we could get.  she was not very cooperative for the ultrasound.

february 23, 2011 ranks up there as one of the best days of my life!
