Well, we had our ultrasound on Monday and the technician said she was 80% sure and the doctor said he was 90% sure about the gender. So – y’all ready for this? Can you dig it? Are you ready to rumble??<\/p>\n

It’s a girl!<\/p>\n

I attribute the certainty of that statement to Anne. The ultrasound technician said she was 80% sure it’s a girl and then the doctor said that he was 90% sure. But given Anne’s strong feeling, she feels certain. And hey – I’d be happy with a 90% on a test. So it’s time to get off of team uncertainty and onto team girl.<\/p>\n

I must say that we were disappointed with the photos and video we got from this most recent visit – they were both poor and few. The video is a bit wonky, but you get a brief glimpse of our little girl at week 17.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the pictures we got this time were all pretty much without variety and not that great.<\/p>\n

Still, that’s our little girl. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now that you know the gender, you are obviously disallowed from getting us anything that we can even remotely construe as masculine. Even going gender neutral is pushing it, people. It must be pink, it must frilly, and it must conform to that unique American nostalgia – a nostalgia for a time that never existed. Do you think she’s going to win the baby pageant playing with that truck, or throwing a ball? I don’t think so! Hand be that hairbrush and that Barbie.<\/p>\n

Anne and I both agree that we will adhere to strict gender roles in this family. In fact, I refuse to even touch her clothing, for fear of gender contamination. And I always avoid the feminine hygiene products the pharmacy by at least two aisles, just to be safe.<\/p>\n

But I kid. The Spicy Peanut is a she. We’re having a daughter. We’re so happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
