It's a girl

This is the first official "blog" entry. I'm sure by now everyone knows that Jake and I are having a baby girl. We found out during our 20 week ultrasound on March 14th. I thought for sure I was destined for boys but little did we know. Although, Jake claims he knew all along.

To make things more exciting on that special day for each of the grandparents I first blew out the yoke of 4 eggs. Then I dyed two of the eggs green and two eggs yellow. Each set of grandparents then got one green and one yellow. Inside each egg I was able to place a note: the green egg would hold the message: "its a girl" and the yellow egg would have: "its a boy." After the ultrasound we called Jake's parents and let them know what color egg to crack open. My parents just happened to be anxiously waiting for us back at our house which is where they then got to break open the GREEN EGG.

Anyway, it was fun to see my parents expressions when they found out they were going to have another granddaughter. For Grandpa and Grandma Menard it is there first girl grandbaby.

Well, I think that should take everyone up to speed. Look for the next blog entry to see how big baby Menard is getting or should we say how big I am getting. The baby bump picture is coming!!!
