Friday, May 23 was a WONDERFUL day!! My birthday began with many birthday wishes from my students. A few gave me gifts such as, bubble bath and lotion, cute cards, and a tile with an inspirational thought. Once I opened those few gifts, and the kids saw how happy I was at their thoughtfulness, many students proceeded to look through their desks and find their BEST pens and pencils to give to me as well. I guess they didn't want to miss out on making their teacher happy too. Such cute and considerate 6 and 7 year olds.
After a normal day of learning, I decided it would be fun to let my students take a stab at guessing the gender of the baby--following these conditions: they couldn't be upset if they got it wrong, they couldn't brag if they got it right, and the boys couldn't just choose boy and the girls couldn't just choose girl. I also prepared them for the fact that the baby may have the legs crossed or be too wiggly to find out. Anyway- here are the results of their guesses!
They guessed BOY... But was it correct?Well, here are the real results!!
(If you don't want to see little baby "parts" skip ahead to the text. :))
:) IT'S A GIRL!!! :)
Isn't she precious??
Immediately after the appointment- we went to Babies 'R Us to register. This is what Dan's most excited about. ;)
p.s.- Baby stuff is EXPENSIVE!
For the rest of my birthday celebration, Dan took me to Macaroni Grill for dinner and then to see the movie Emma Smith--My Story. It was a beautiful movie! And I don't mean to brag or anything, but the lady who plays Emma Hales Smith (Katherine Nelson Thompson) is my cousin-in-law. She's pretty much awesome!
Such a HAPPY Birthday!! So the next item of business will be to start looking up names! So far, it hasn't gone well. Wish us luck. :)

Happy Birthday and Congrats on a baby girl!! That is so exciting! How fun to let your class guess the gender. Maybe they can just chose the name too! :) I was teaching 3rd grade when I had Cameron and I gave them 3 name choices and had them write persuasive essays about the one they liked the best. Make sure you keep the chart for your little girls baby book! I still have the essays and the parenting advice my students gave me! Fun stuff!
Oh YEAH! I KNEW IT!! OH, that is the best thing there ever was! Now it is REAL! You are having a BABY! Happy Birthday too- I guess! :)
P.S. Baby Mindy is GORGEOUS in her profile shot! (I think Mindy is fitting! Don't you?)
exciting!!!! congrats congrats :) sharing any names yet?!?!
Congrats!!! That is so fun! Knowing the gender makes it all seem so much more real. And then once you have a name, I think it's even more real. At least with us, he became more of a real person.
and Happy Birthday!
A girl! You can name her Mindy Marie! It's a fantastic name! :) HOW EXCITING! :)
Congratulations that is great. I wish you luck picking a name. That was the hardest part for us! Good Luck!
Can I get a WOOT WOOT of excitement here for a little webster girl!? WOOT WOOT. Also, Brynn, is a unique and cool name, and since you asked, I would be honored to share my name. :) HAIGH.
And mom is tricking you...she always said "when she was a little boy". She was never a little girl. We're not sure how that all adds up though...
