We're having a GIRL!!!

We decided that we were going to find out the sex of Baby #2...for several reasons. Jason has always wanted to know the sex of the baby. Unfortunately, he lost when I was pregnant with Landon, so this time around I was reconsidering it. And, two, I needed to know if I should keep the 5 storage bags full of boys clothes or give them away to a pregnant friend having a little boy.

We decided that since we were finding out the beginning of December if it was a boy or girl that we would ask the ultrasound technician (I'm sure they have a fancier medical name than that) to write it in a card and we would open the envelope either on Christmas Day or New Year's Day (12:01am). After thinking about it, we decided New Years, so we could focus on the fun Christmas with Landon and I knew once I found out that I'd be distracted and immediately shopping and researching.

So the clock struck 12:00am and it was 01/01/2010...and we hugged and kissed a Happy New Year with our friends Ross and Lyla and Catrina and Errol. Now it was time to open the envelope...everyone was dying. I opened it and couldn't tell by the ultrasound pic what it was, so I immediately looked for words on the pic.... "It is a little girl!". Are you kidding!?!?!? The Burke Boy streak has been broken!?!??! We were so shocked and yet so happy. I still don't think my mother-in-law beleives it.

Alexandra will be her name. We are undecided on a middle name, but we have some time. I already bought her bedding and room decor and her furniture has been ordered (see why I had to wait until after Christmas). We are very excited and will be even more excited to meet her in 15 weeks!
