We had our ultrasound on Friday and found out we are having a girl. We are so excited and happy and it is so fun thinking about our baby knowing that she's a she - like Andrew said, it makes it more real.

Already assuming the role of concerned parent, during the ultrasound I asked the technician, "If there's an error in determining the gender, isn't it usually that they tell you it's a girl and it turns out to be a boy?" She straightened up in her chair, got a little huffy and said, "In this office, we don't make errors!" Then she told us that she was so positive our baby is a girl that she'd come repaint our nursery if she comes out a boy! Well then, girl it is until final confirmation on September 27th! We'll keep you posted.

Anyway, we are so happy and excited and now we can start talking names...From our track record of making decisions, however, this could be a long and painful process! Wish us luck.

It's a little blurry, but Dad wanted to see the ultrasound picture of our little girl so here it is. That's her pretty face in profile with her cute little nose and lips and pot belly (just like mommy's!). She's a cutie.

Not the greatest picture, but you get the idea.

Register Guard Article

Andrew was in the Eugene newspaper again this past week and it was a really neat article. The article includes some really nice things the head coach and some of his pitchers had to say about him. The head coach said:

• “Awesome performance. I definitely hired the best pitching coach in the country.”
• “His work ethic is unparalleled, and the kids love him.”
  

One of his players said:

• “He’s just an absolute genius”

The article also talked about how he "has guided his young staff to a team ERA of 3.62, which is second in the Pac-10 Conference and 19th nationally."

It was a fun article to read and if you want to read the whole thing go to: http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/sevendays/11095343-35/story.csp.

Andrew really is exceptionally talented and hard working in every aspect of his life. We just celebrated our two year anniversary this week, and I honestly feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world. And really, I am.
