Girl

Well, the cat's out of the bag and the little bundle of DNA inside Audi's belly has officially declared itself female.  Let the pink fabric, frilly lace, flowery headbands, and other stereotypical female baby paraphernalia fly.  Audi's been chomping at the bit to start sewing and buying everything this kid will need until college and now that we know the nature of our baby's naughty bits, Audi can get to work.


 

Looking at the ultrasound was surreal.  It's no longer just a bump under Audi's bellybutton or what essentially looked like a black smudge in our first ultrasound.  This is a BABY!

I'm honestly really excited that it's a girl.  Not just because this means Audi will have a bit more expertise and confidence when parenting this kid, but I'm really psyched to have a daughter.  It seems like the majority of my friends who have had babies lately have had girls and I've really been jealous.  There's a unique innocence to girls that you just don't see with boys.  Maybe it's residual from how I fell for Audi and have been significantly whipped ever since, but I can tell already that this girl is going to be able to walk all over me, and I can't wait.  I'm also really glad that she can't projectile pee.

Congratulations! I only have my experience, but I think having a girl first is the way to go! They are definitely very different creatures, even from birth. And yes, it's nice to know your little one won't pee in her eyes all the time like poor little Ian used too. However, she won't get to pee fountains while sitting in the bathtub, which is our current experience.

congratulations! I hadn't checked your blog in so long, I didn't even know the news. How exciting! It is great having a girl first because when she is older, you will have a great baby sitter. I didn't think of that until recently when my daughter became our really great sitter. She is the second mom.
