Kristen and I found out yesterday that we’re having a little girl on July 4th!
After talking to our mothers about their easy pregnancies with boys, we really thought we were having a boy as well because Kristen thankfully hasn’t had much pregnancy-related illness. (However, she is getting over an upper-respiratory infection.)
When we went in for our appointment last Tuesday, the doctor did a sonogram and showed us why he thought it was a little girl. We were both shocked! I asked him if he was sure, and he said he’ll never say he’s a 100% positive, but he was 95% sure he was looking at a girl. Then, after looking a bit more, he said, “Actually, make that 98%.”
We couldn’t be happier about our little girl. My nerves have inflated, though, but not in a bad way. It’s just that I grew up in a house full of guys (even the dog was a dude), so the idea of interacting with a little girl is totally foreign to me. I have a feeling I’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly, though. Luckily we have some good friends with daughters and a niece who have helped initiate my training.
We’re not sure about names for her. We thought we had some choices settled on, but now that she’s a reality we’re rethinking those choices. We don’t intend to keep her name a secret, so hopefully we’ll come to a decision sooner than later. For now we’re just calling her “Supergirl.” Those of you who know me well will not find that surprising at all.
I can’t wait for Daddy’s little (super) girl to arrive!
Woohoo! Congratulations on your child. Just don’t let her go near my friend. She’ll most likely steal her and claim her as her own child.
