And the baby is...

So we have two weddings that we need to save up for.

That’s right. We are having another girl.

The ultrasound tech said she was on a streak of finding out the sex of babies this morning and most of them were boys. So I was disappointed when she said we had broken her streak. I thought she meant she couldn’t tell.

Then she typed girl on the screen. I laughed out loud. I couldn’t see what the husband’s reaction was because he was sitting behind me watching a second screen.

Later when we moved to another room for a check-up, I said, “Well, we need to start saving now because we have two weddings to pay for.”

“That was my first thought too,” the husband said.

We are both excited but perhaps a little stunned that we were so wrong in our guesses.

I think the best response so far from people we’ve told has been “So you are having another vagina.”

She is measuring exactly where she should be for our due date and everything looks good.

The good news is that we no longer need to find new nursery bedding, which is a little sad because I had finally come up with the cutest theme ever: Sock Monkeys. Feel free to use it for your next child. Instead, we are going to use Peanut’s old bedding that is pastel polka-dots and stripes. I plan to paint the walls a pale yellow and decorate with fairies.

We don’t have a name picked out. The husband vetoed Violet and Fiona this morning (sorry, Hilllary, no Fifi.) I vetoed Lily. I don’t want any names in the top 100 baby names. So if you have any cool girl names you would like to pass along, I would love to hear them.

And the winner is of the giveaway is Carey. Of the 19 responses (two were on our Facebook page), nine guessed girl. Carey, I think I know where you live so I will be sure to deliver your gift soon.
