It's a girl...probably.







So the forecast is an 80% chance of female. The doc said we can't be positive, but it seems pretty likely as he scanned the area from many angles without the least hint of a todger sticking out.

The ultrasound blew me away when the baby first showed up. You go for so long hearing about the baby and thinking about the baby, but to actually see it suddenly made the whole thing very real to me. There really is a tiny person living in my wife right now--a person whose diapers I will soon be changing and teaching not to stick rocks in her mouth. Actually, when it first flashed up on the screen the radiologist had centered the picture on the baby's spine and rib cage, so all you could see was a strange millipede alien-type creature amidst a sea of pulsating grey flesh. Freaked me out.

Here are some more pics of the little tyke:


Possibly the only time in a human being's life where your "bottom" has to be labeled.

On the bottom right you can also see a crude illustration of a naked woman's torso area, though I don't condone the viewing of pornography.

So I'm pretty excited about having a girl. I was really hoping for one. We don't have a name yet. I think it's better to have 3 or 4 you really like then choose one once you have actually seen the kid. Our choices right now are Katie, Riley, Lafonda, Neutrogena, and "The Yellow Dart".

That's a revealing picture of your wife in the corner there, Mickel. You may want to blur it out!

"Neutrogena," I believe, hails from the Slavonic lands and is quite appropriate for a firstborn. I also recommend the possibilities of "Prophylaxis" and Tularemia."

I think you should name the baby Tiecen. Then she'll be smart and pretty. I can't wait to see her!
