Gargle is a girl!

Posted by Mie on January 29, 2006 | | Comments (10)

A small but significant update to my dear readers: we got back amnio test results, and all is fine! I didn't want to share that I took the test and was actually nervous about it until now (talk about a scary test to take!). But I do want to share that Dav and I are super duper happy and relieved.

Also, we found out that our Little Bug, Gargle, is a girl. Let the name-choosing game begin!

This is one of many steps of slowly identifying and connecting with this person-to-be. She's 18 weeks now. The surreal quality of all this is gently shifting ...

Wow, I did NOT expect that but what wonderful news to pop up unexpectedly. I wish you could see my face - I gasped and got this HUGE big smile. I'm so excited to meet her. It's so fun to call her a her! ;-)

I'm so excited for you! I wish I still had some of Kayli's old clothes but I was saving up tons of Ryan and Brenden's. I may be able to get some of Kayli's old clothes back from my sister in law and Richard's cousin if you want them. I know you'll probably get a ton of new and cute things though. I have a lot of baby things for you to pick up for her anytime you want them...

I'll just make her seven identical sets of zippy-the-pinhead mu-mus so she doesn't have to waste any brain cycles thinking about clothes. It'll be an easy pattern to sew and should last until she goes to college.

Thanks everyone! I honestly didn't care about the sex, and am just happy Gargle is healthy.

But I foresee me having to rescue Gargle from humiliation through Dav's practicality. Mu-mus? I'll have to point out the shelf full of T-shirts he has. If he doesn't wear the same t-shirt everyday, like Sion wears Coral Life t-shirts, then he ain't got no ammunition.
