And it is….

A GIRL!!!

Little Olivia Lynn Wright will be born sometime between May 4 and May 12, 2010 and we cannot wait to meet her!

I say between May 4 and May 12 because she’s already ahead of the game coming in at 1 lb. 4 oz.  This puts her about a week ahead of schedule so they might adjust my due date later if needed.  For now, they’re leaving it the 12th unless she has another major growth spurt and decides to say hi early.

Needless to say, Stephen and I are extremely excited to be having a daughter.  So far everyone in my family that has had children (my brother and two cousins) have all had boys and Stephen is one of three boys so a girl is a very welcome change to the mix.

Olivia will be spoiled rotten.

Rotten.

Stephen is currently shopping for a shotgun.  ;)

Other than that, she’s healthy as can be – all her measurements are within the normal range.  And I am doing well, too – my LEEP procedure back in May is having no adverse affects on my cervix or the pregnancy so that’s a sigh of relief.  To top it off, so far every one of my blood tests has come back with great news.  I’ve been tired as of late but I attribute that to the holidays and lots of visiting and being “on” for many people.

We’re nearing the 6 month mark, just a few short weeks shy of the third trimester.  We’ll be taking a tour of Northside Hospital soon and attending a birthing course taught by the midwives at our clinic in the next couple of months.

After that it’s shower time!!

Nursery

The big news with the nursery concerns the furniture currently in the guest room.  Some of it is already potentially spoken for but we are giving away the guest room furniture to any friends and family in the Atlanta area who wants it.  We unfortunately have no room for it and need to be rid of it this month so we can move on to painting and getting the nursery furniture from IKEA.

Anything that doesn’t get taken by the end of January is getting taken to Goodwill for donation.  So, if you are interested, give Stephen or myself a ring or shoot us a message on Facebook/Email/Here and we’ll let you know what’s available.

So much to do and so many exciting things happening!
