And the word of the day is . . .

Irony :)

Use it in a sentence? Isn't it ironic that when we finally decide that it's just not meant to be and make plans to move on with our lives, we discover that the extra seat in the minivan will be used after all! Baby #5 will arrive somewhere around December 15th :) We are all thrilled, although Megan is disappointed she can't feel the baby kick yet. I am convinced it's a girl, but Rob is kind of leaning towards a boy. My sister Molly is over the moon and has already bought me a designer diaper bag, which I love, especially the 11 pocket aspect of it :) It would be helpful to have a girl as I gave away all our baby clothes and my friend Beca just had a baby girl and offered to give us her clothes as she grows out of them. I was worried about having given all our stuff away, but another friend, Allison, already offered us a changing table and it even matches the crib (one of the few things we kept).

Yes, we have names picked out :) One bonus part of trying for 18 months is that you have a lot of time to consider names, although we reserve the right to change them at a moment's notice :) If it's a girl, we plan to name her Eva-Grace Helen and if it's a boy, he will be Daniel Evans.

It may put a bit of a kink in my schooling, but I'll figure it out. I still plan to finish my degree in about the same time frame. I'll more than likely postpone working towards becoming licensed after graduation, but it will work out :)
