We are having a girl! The Progeny is a Girl! I am excited. I would be excited if we were having a girl or a boy. I guess I'm excited just to know more about our precious baby. She is beautiful in that fuzzy ultrasound way that 19 week fetuses are. Plus a little more because she is mine to love and care for on Earth.
I should qualify this just in case there is a surprise later. The ultrasound technician could not get that perfect angled shot, the definitive boy or girl shot. So, she said things like "you're having a girl", "I'm leaning towards girl", "I'm 80% you are having a girl." So, a little mystery for us. But, it looks to be that The Progeny is a girl. While the technician couldn't get the shot she wanted she did get a shot of our baby's bottom and was pretty sure she was looking where the avocados would be for a boy and she saw no produce from the angle she had. So, to sum up, we are having a healthy and beautiful baby girl...... we're 80% sure. And I love her!!!!!!! I'm going with a definite girl and if I'm surprised then that's cool too. I can be right or wrong. I'm not the biggest fan of most gender roles and I don't think our baby is learning them just yet any how.
So, the name search begins for me. Tami is not as anxious as I for the name. In fact, I was under the impression that we knew at least the first name if we were having a girl. Tami told me a name she wanted for a girl a while back and I love it so I assumed we were set. I was referring to her as this name in my mind as soon as we learned her gender. But Tami made a good point. What if we see her and that's just not her name? Valid point indeed. So, we need some more names to consider and then there is the middle name.
We have lots of time for names. The Progeny, our baby girl, arrives sometime around April 27th. And that's pretty exciting.
