Modern Technology: 0 Women's Intuition: 1
« on: November 06, 2007, 09:24:09 pm »
So, after a second look at the baby via ultrasound, my OBGYN has determined that I am carrying, in his words, "100% definitely a chick." 

I knew it.  I've been dreaming for weeks that "Robbie" turned out to be a girl after all.  Repeatedly since the first ultrasound, and several times prior to being told she was a boy.  In fact, the day I found out I was pregnant I went on record as expecting to have a girl. 

I feel vindicated, and also a little bit destabilized.  I had just gotten used to the idea of having two boys, and here I am having to revert to "girl" mode. 

It's a little scary, actually.  I mean, boys I can handle.  Girls are a different species altogether. 

Anyway, here's the pic.  She's got her little arm flexed like Somebody nice the Riveter. 

She's so my daughter.

So what are you going to name her? Here are some suggestions:

1. Keith Hernandez
2. LittleFallsMets
3. Jough

I think you can't go wrong wither any choice.

Congratuawesomes!

As I am (hopefully) nowhere near parenthood yet, I have not really put all that much thought into the differences between raising a man-child or a woman-child but... upon reflection... they are pretty different experiences.

Not at first, I suppose, but definitely as the days move slow and the years go flying by.

I always thought "Phil Collins" was a good name for a girl but, then, I'm weird.

That is a wonderfully beautiful little chest-burster you've got there. Major Congrats!

My figuring on male vs. female spawn is that females are preferable from about 4 to 10 and males are preferable from 10 to maybe 14. Before and after that they are all kind of irritating.

Nawwwwwwwww, girls are cool.  You have done well with "Elizabeth."  I suggest calling her Lizzie Liz Liz Elizabeth Liz Lizardine Lurleen Lumpkin.

Call her Athena.  I've known two real life Athenas, and they rocked hard.  Its a name worth living up to.  If you want to geek out, you could spell it Aθena.
