Memorial Day

So today was pretty much the perfect day. We slept in, went to get some maternity clothes for April, ate lunch at her parents' house and then I played video games with Isaac (Portal 2), went to the park and threw the frisbee around, ate dinner, made s'mores, played knerts, and then played this game called Things for like 3 hours. It was fun, relaxing, and delicious. All with family. Great day. So I learned that you CAN have a happy Memorial Day without a barbeque. I did not know that before today.

It's over!

So I took the MCAT on Saturday. I'm finally done! I feel pretty good about it too. I think I did well. I just hope it was well enough to get me into medical school. That test was hard. I've been studying for it for the last 6 months, and for those of you who don't know I quit my job at the beginning of the month so I could study full time for the MCAT. It has been a month of 8 hour study days and several practice MCAT's. And it's gone by pretty quickly. Maybe because (with the exception of general chemistry) I actually like all the subjects on the MCAT. Either way, it's over now and I'm glad. Also the rapture was supposed to happen on Saturday and it totally didn't. Then I saw this billboard.

That's pretty good huh? So now I'm just working on primary applications this week. Oh, and getting a job, 'cuz, y'know, I quit mine. Ok see you guys later!

MCAT scariness

So tomorrow I take the MCAT. We're leaving for Idaho today and I'm going to be honest- I'm terrified. I just hope I do well. I've been studying pretty hard for a while now and I want it to pay off. I'll let you know how it goes after it's all over. So I guess I'l see you on the other side.

Holy Cow!!!

Ok big news! 15 seconds ago I felt our little girl move for the first time! She kicked twice at my hand. *pat* *pat* like that. It was amazing! And all I had to do was make noises with my mouth on April's belly until she woke up! And then squish her a little. Just a little. But then she kicked right at me! Most likely to say, "Hey! Cut that out! I'm taking a nap in here!" And it was the coolest thing ever! I cannot believe we are having a baby!

Big news!

Ok faithful reader, we have big news. And you are excited to hear it! We now know the gender of our baby! We went to our doctor this morning, met with the ultrasound tech and through the magic of modern medical science we learned that we will be having a little baby... GIRL!!! That's right, I was right! April had to buy lunch afterward at Purple Turtle. I got the fish 'n chips. It was good. April got the fish sandwich, that was good too (I ate some). Then we went and got Magnum bars because they're delicious. That was my first time eating one. And Aprils first time since leaving Europe.

Ok, I know the question that is on everyone's mind is, "Have you picked out a name?" And the answer is yes! Now this is subject to change at any time, but right now we are thinking Suvi Darlene Willford. Suvi is Finnish for summer and is a popular name in Finland as well as the name of a girl April got very close to while on her mission. Darlene is a family name on April's side. So Suvi Darlene is the name we're going with.

So that's our news for today! Tomorrow I'll post a new word of the day (or WotD as I randomly decided to abbreviate it today), and it will be a good one. Actually I'll do that right now. I have a good one in mind. I'll see you in a couple of minutes.
