girls everywhere
OK it's offical. Yesterday we saw had an ultrasound. I am a girl daddy. I cannot tell you what that means to me right now. Two words: shell shock. A number of things race through my head. I am just happy to have a child, because there are so many people who cannot have children. God obviously wanted me to have a girl, just like he made me wait for four months before giving us our house.
Now you want a but? Sure here you go. My wife said "now I can go to Target and buy that bikini I saw!". Damn.
Here are some things to consider now: prom dresses, weddings, menstruation, training bras, boy friends, etc... Now here is something that will be fun. I get to say "what are your intentions with my daughter?" while slowly sharpening my (insert scary looking weapon here with which I could castrate said boyfriend). Woohoo.
I do not like Pink. People will buy pink to spite me. I like green, yellow, blue, denim, plaid, etc... Our friends R&L will be exicted. They have a little girl and wanted her to have a playmate. Well, you got your wish.
I am fine with a girl. Seriously. I am just in shock. Wife is too. I just don't even know how to raise a girl. I was a boy. I can tell you about boys. Penises and all. But girls are foreign to me. I have one sister. I have one biological female cousin. The rest are boys. All boys. I know boys. Girls are from Venus, right? Anyway. Ask me in a year, and I bet I will love it.

You both will survive. I remember when I found out I was having a girl, it took me at least a month to stop saying he. I was convinced I would only have boys, I was destined. Now I see the whole experience is terrifying, and it doesn't matter what you get. The last 8 months have been fun, and Dad is right in a year you won't even remember the apprehension, and shock, she will be yours!!

Dec 2 - Girls everywhere??? We have a male dog, four male ferrets, a male turtle and I'm pretty darn sure the fish are male. Not that I don't have enough estrogen and determination to compete...
However, I agree with Julian that I am in shock that we are having a girl -- although that is an improvement from yesterday when I was in denial. I wore a pink shirt today to attempt to get in the mood.
The baby has been making funny movements since last night - I swear she was biting me this morning. I guess she understands my emotions right now and is just trying to get my attention.
Good news was that all the parts were in place and on track in size. The grandparents are all ecstatic about having a granddaughter. I'm glad they are happy.
By the way, you can buy pink clothes for our baby if you want, just DON'T BUY ANYTHING RED. I hate red; it makes me angry. Not sure why. I prefer purple, yellows, greens and oranges for a girl.

PS. I did not run out to buy the bikini today.
Congratulations! You'll do great raising a girl, and here's why. Because you were a boy. You know boys. You know what boys do and how they think... What this means is that you'll be able to protect her better because you know what the boys are up to! Besides, anyone who likes the Peacemakers is bound to be a good dad. :)
