And then there were TWO!




(post by Marissa) two girls that is!

On Friday we had our 20 week ultrasound and found out she's a girl! I was really excited and as it got closer to finding out the sex of the baby, I kind of started wanting a girl more! So I guess I got what I wanted! We are going to name her Ava May Jensen, unless when she comes out I all of a sudden have change of mind! I may regret it later, but I kind of want a little mini-me. Maybe I feel a similarity to her because she'll be the oldest girl and I am the oldest girl (another topic later on how im the oldest girl). It feels more real now because when we talk about the little baby it's not an "it" or "heshe"...its a little baby girl! There are more cute things out there for girls than I can even begin to imagine. I get excited thinking about going and getting nails done and seeing Disney Princess Movies! Steve will do great with it too...In fact today in nursery it was him reading to all of the girls and I was reading to all of the boys. He looked over to me and said, "Why do I have all the girls?" I'm thinking this little girl will probably be going to him when I'm being mean (bc im def the disciplinary) or not understanding! So here we come bows, ribbons, tears, and dolls!

I am guilty as well, I thought you were having twins too!! Congratulations, it sounds like you are going to love having a girl!
