What's in a name?

Well, obviously a lot, since everyone wants to know! I'm glad we're keeping it hush hush though, because I want there to be some element of surprise to our little girl's birth announcement. Although originally I wavered about whether I wanted to find out the gender, I'm really glad that we chose to--it's nice to be able to call her my daughter instead of "the baby" all the time, and to call her by name when it's just James and me around.

The past week has been a whirlwind of activity...between our exciting doctor's visit, serving jury duty for the first time, traveling to Minnesota for the weekend, and now having to drive to Atlanta on Monday to get a visa for a Chinese student, as well as little girl's first "girl's day" shopping at Green Hills...I'm wondering how I'll be able to get everything done that I need to. I know that everything always "works out", but thinking about everything that needs to happen and will happen in the next few weeks has me stressed.

I do feel fortunate to have been able to run the past two days--45 min. on Thursday and 30 min. on Friday. My friend Megan loaned me her Gabriella belt to help stabilize little Poppy while I run, and it definitely makes it easier.
