Yep. I was 100% certain that this one was a boy, it just felt right. Ha, well, refer to the title of this post.
And because I was so certain, I have no girl name ideas, haven't even considered any. I think I'm a little bit dazed by this frankly. In about 10 years we're going to have to buy stock in Tampax, and can you picture the raging hormones that will be churning through this 1400 square feet? Yikes! I mean, I grew up with four brothers, not a single sister to be found. I was a tomboy myself. I got along better with boys because I seemed to understand them better, and girls were often just plain mean and catty. And now, while everyone I know is having boys, I seem to be single-handedly populating the ward with future Young Women. I think I need to take a deep breath.
On the other hand, little baby girls really are sweet. I already have a boatload of girl clothes. And blankets. And shoes. And nearly every Disney Princess movie. That's got to count for something.
As shocked as I was to hear the news, I was still amazed to see the pictures of our little one at the ultrasound today. My mom never had, nor seen an ultrasound, so we invited her to come along, too. I wonder if she was as surprised as I was. So this is our little, as yet unnamed daughter:
This next one is an almost full body picture. Her head is on the left with her two arms up by her face, and her two legs below that, with the cord running through the middle.
This shot should have clued me in that she was a girl, and a good one at that. Can you see her little crossed ankles on the left? They make up the big X on the left, with the top of her head on the right.
And last of all, I like this picture, just because everyone loves baby feet. More so when they're out of the womb, but still, imagine how tiny they must be right now, since she only weighs 13 ounces total.
Sigh... I don't know how to braid hair.
