It's a girl!

I am so behind on blogging but I have one and only one excuse; Momma has been tired! So tired that I have slept most of November and December. I finally feel like I am coming out of a fog.

On December 26th, about 9:00, Jay and I found out we were having a sweet baby girl. And in true Ollie fashion- I cried the entire time. I am not sure why I cried. As soon as she said it was a girl, I stopped crying for a minute- I was so happy.
Deep down I really didn't care if it was a boy or a girl but for so long I have dreamed about a little girl with olive skin and dark hair. I have literally dreamed about her for years.
Jaylie is a combination of Jay and the last three letters of my name. I created that about 10 years ago sitting on the couch during Christmas.  I have always said her middle name would be Jaylie Rebecca but now I might want to do Jaylie Ann. If I say it all together, Jaylie Rebecca Willingham flows much better than Jaylie Ann Willingham. I dare you to say Jaylie Ann Willingham and not think it sounds like a rap song or lyric. So I don't know. Please share your pick. It may come down to a vote!

Jaylie did not want to cooperate and we had a hard time seeing what she was. She was in a ball and was not moving those legs. The sonogram technician kept bouncing my belly trying to get her to move. Finally after about 15 or 20  minutes, she saw the 3 lines that say she is a girl. I cried until she said it was a girl and then I stopped long enough to walk out of the room.
I was very emotional. So much so, that my hubby told me that afternoon that if I did not stop crying, he was going to give me something to cry about. He is a parent in the making!

After leaving  the dr, we went to the Tractor Supply where Jay got a surprise and we ate at McDonalds. Then we headed to Walmart to get food for the gender reveal.

Jay baked a cake. A strawberry cake- two layers with rainbow icing. It was so good. He also made the chili and Subway made the sandwiches. We were very excited to tell everyone.

I called my parents to ask them a question and my Daddy wanted to know what it was. Ummm, no. That would ruin the surprise. Later that night, he says that was a test and I was very chipper on the phone so he knew it was a girl.

Here is the video of the big reveal. Jaylie, I love you to be showing this video of myself talking.
Right now, blogger will not not upload any of my pictures or video so I will add that later on. The one day I have enough energy to get it done and it will not work.

So when blogger decides to work- I will post some pictures on here.....eventually!
