It's official, we are having a.....

Girl. There is no doubt about it, we saw the "Hamburger" plain as day today at the Dr's office. We were first told a boy, then a month later (last month) we were told maybe a girl, today it was confirmed. I have to admit, it took me a second to let go of the thought of having a boy. As my wife said, I had "gone all the way down the road" with the thought of a boy. Honestly, I was hoping for a boy, but that was for purely selfish reasons. I know boys, I have been one for 40 years. I know how they think and how they act, so a girl will be a whole new world. Now, I am just happy that everything looks good. Right now she weights 1lbs 13 oz, the Dr thinks she will be somewhere around 7 1/2 to 8 lbs when she arrives. Due date is June 7th, just in time for lake season. :) Her name is Landry Galan. Have you checked out www.twitter.com/sandymcilree do it. It is a much shorter version than this blog.

Did you watch the Academy Awards last night? This show was totally not for me. I mentally tuned out when Hugh Jackman said, "The musical is back" OMG, please shoot me. Song and dance numbers in the year 2009, didn't Fred and Ginger do that before there was electricity? I was happy to see "Slumdog" win. It is a great movie. I struggle with awards shows. Is there any other industry that so publicly pats itself on the back? I would love to see an Academy Awards show that honored Dr's and Scientists, people that save lives, not entertain them. That's just me.

I'm having surgery on my nose and throat on Thursday. The hope is that it will allow me to breath out of the right side of my nose and eliminate my snoring. I hope it works.

Well be sure to let us know how the surgery turns out---I'm sure you will, you're are always appreciative to your docs!

Love the name Landry. My son's name is that, and there aren't many of them. There is a character on Friday Night Lights that is named Landry and yes, people will ask you if that is where you got the name or if Tom Landry is whom she is named after. Have fun!

Sandy- I love that you're going to be a dad. I seem to recall a couple years ago you may have mentioned not wanting kids and it impresses me when people change their minds for the right reasons. We're trying for some little ones too....I hope it is as easy for me, as it was for you. Love the name by the way. I know a boy named Landry. I am recently stuck on Camden.
