If I were a street fighter. . . .

Grief. It's been almost a month since I posted last! So in the last month, I had an incredible New Moon party with my girlfriends: dinner and midnight showing. It was awesome! And I need to post those pictures because those girlies are my absolute favorite.

Next (a day and half after New Moon party), we flew to Alabama for Thanksgiving with Jesse's family! I love Alabama. I really do. Anyway, so these are a couple of the family pictures we did. Jesse needs to email me the others so I can post them too. Jesse's family is beautiful so I am going to post them too when I get the pictures.



And this is me if I were a street fighter. Jesse had to do the assignment for a character design class. So it's me in my yellow jacket and military hat. I have a robotic arm because I have a tendency to punch when angry. And I'm even wearing my locket chain. I love having a personal artist! No, this is definitely NOT Jesse's style of art. His assignment was to emulate it. If you want to see his style, check out mywhiteshadowart.blogspot.com. But it is sweet, you have to admit.
And other fun news: Jesse and I went to the ultrasound today. I totally had a Cali Stoddard experience. I was 110% sure it was a boy. But it's NOT! We're having another girl! Can you believe it? I still can't. The name we've picked for now is Claire. Middle name to come later. Now I understand, Carolyn, when you were sad. I cried when I first got home. I was excited, but I've totally been geared for a boy for two months now. I really thought it was going to be. But a girl will be AWESOME. Matching dresses, bows, accessories.... it'll be a joy. Another princess.
Anyway, now y'all know. Love you!

I say you do some cool European name, like Johann. Except preferably a girl's name. :)

Oh Lauren, can I tell you how much I love you? You are so cute. That being said, I am SO excited that you are having another girl! Honestly, it is so much fun to have two little girls. I wouldn't have it any other way. CONGRATULATIONS!

Oh man... seriously.. I know EXACTLY how you feel. It took me a couple weeks just to get used to the idea. then, I had a 24 week ultrasound to check something, and I begged her to look again. Still VERY girl.I'm way excited... it was just a change of mindset is all. :)I'm sure it will be hard to imagine it any other way once it happens. Will you send me your e-mail address? Mine is calistoddard@gmail.com. I have something funny to tell you...
