It's a girl

As is plainly obvious from this photo, we're having a girl. We're both very excited, though neither one of us had a preference. I know parents are supposed to say that, but we really weren't hoping for one sex over the other.

That said, I'm petrified of having a daughter. I'm sure she'll have me wrapped around her finger by age 2 (Michelle made is clear long ago that once our daughter is older, I am to leave my wallet with Michelle immediately when I come home from work). I'm already intimidated about the thought of having a teenage girl, but I have another decade to adjust to that.

The most important thing: the baby is coming along very well. She is a good size, seems to be developing well, has a good heart rate, and the medical staff don't have any concerns at this time. Michelle is feeling good, despite not being able to get rid of her stuffy nose, and she looks fantastic. I'm very proud of her for doing such a good job at growing a person.
