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.”
Lexilooo says
YAY!!!! So many congratulations, again! So exciting, such happy news!
Miriam says
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
Janelle says
Hooray! Congrats, again! I think little girls are the best way to start a family!
Lisa C says
I completely agree with the decision to find out. Way to go Bart (and Janssen for going along with it)! And hooray for girls.
Lisa says
A girl baby!
Jen Robinson says
Congratulations! I think it's much nicer to know, and be able to think of the baby as "she".
Carly Jane says
Knowing for sure really does make a different, huh?! I'm so excited for you guys!
Angella says
Hooray for a GIRL!!! Woo!
Amy Sorensen says
Yay! (I totally knew it was a girl!)
Now to start the "what should we name her?" obsession…
glad all is healthy!
Rachel says
Yea!! Very exciting news
Marie says
Awesome! Congrats, I'm glad you found out for sure.
Melanie says
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.
Jess says
Yay! Congratulations! So excited for you! And for her!
Chelsea says
Congratulations! How exciting to finally know! She's a very lucky girl to have you two as her parents.

Sammy says
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??
Katie says
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."
