The Best Saturday

Yesterday was a glorious spring day – the weather was in the fifties, which, after months of winter, feels like heaven. We did some really fun things and I’ll bore you with the details tomorrow, but I’ll tell you the highlight of the day right now.

On Tuesday morning, while brushing his teeth, Bart said, “I think we should find out the gender of the baby this weekend.”
And so, today, we drove to Rhode Island and found out that we’re having a . . .

I was fairly certain it was a girl going in (I really would have been shocked if they’d announced it was a boy), but I was amazed how exciting it was to really know one way or the other. It’s a girl!

Now to switch to using “her” instead of “it.”

  1. Congratulations! Very good planning on Merrick's and your part! No matter if Carole finds something fun, be it blue or pink, she can buy it!p

  2. I completely agree with the decision to find out. Way to go Bart (and Janssen for going along with it)! And hooray for girls.

  3. Yay! (I totally knew it was a girl!)

    Now to start the "what should we name her?" obsession…

    glad all is healthy!

  4. Yay! Congratulations!

    Part of me think I'd like to have a boy first, but I definitely need at least one girl. So I'll probably be hoping for a girl during my first pregnancy, just to make sure I get one.

  5. Congratulations! How exciting to finally know! She's a very lucky girl to have you two as her parents.

  6. Yay congrats! Way more exciting be a 100% than to be 75% right?
    Now the question is are you going to share your name choices with us??

  7. Congratulations on your little girl! My husband and I recently found out that we're having a little boy in July and I feel sooooo much better about being able to call the baby "he" instead of "it."

  8. Wahooooo! Girls are the best…I bless you with a girl that isnt as much drama as Kinsey…*bless, bless*. You will just love it! I am so excited for you guys! Your mom is going to go crazy in the baby section being able to buy all the girl and boy clothes…watch out!

  9. Congratulations! And.. Bart looks dashing in his pink onesie :)What a sweet way to share!

  10. Hot diggity dog!
    NieNie's first best friend.

    I so excited for you two. I love girls. But of course, you know that already.

  11. *grin* Congratulations, Janssen! She's going to be adorable and adorably well-read. I can just tell.

  12. This is wonderful. It would be wonderful if "it" was a boy. Both are fun. Why Rhode Island? Did I miss something?

    Hooray for sunshine. Makes the blues disappear.

  13. HOORAY! Don't know anything about girls but I will tell you one thing – the clothes choices are infinitely better! I can't wait to dress up a little lady someday! I'm so thrilled for you!!!

  14. Yay! I have a girl…who just turned TWO. Can't believe it.

    Girls kick ass, but I guess I'm biased being one myself. 🙂
