Yes, I know, it has been a while since we posted on the blog. In the last month, probably fifty things have happened which I have thought would be worth blogging about, but...well...we're busy people. Here are some bullet point baby-related thoughts.
* The doctor has confirmed that we're having a baby girl.
* Wife's first response to the news of a baby girl, "So, I guess you go need to buy a gun?" That's not a bad idea, but I don't want a gun.
* I never realized sonograms are so powerful. I knew we would be able to say, "Oh, look, the head." I was shocked when the technician said such things as, "Here are her two kidneys. This is the left ventricle of the heart. Here are the different portions of the brain. Here are are her hands - let's count the fingers. Here are the eyes, nose and mouth."
* Wife cried during the sonogram. They were tears of happiness (I asked).
* Wife has been craving Chinese food recently, which is absolutely awesome since I'm always up for Chinese. We've enjoyed several meals from Chinatown this past month. Our local Chinese hot-spot is very glad to see that we still exist.
* Baby Girl is definitely an active little kid. The technician laughed at the nonstop waiving, kicking and wiggling. Wife has been telling me she feels the movement for a couple weeks now.
* In NYC, all fast food restaurants are required to post the basic nutritional information for everything on their menu. Through this, we've learned that McDonald's ice cream cones only have 150 calories. Wife has a new favorite food. Most of her meals are very healthy, so I think a couple ice cream cones a week are good for her (she eats a lot of oatmeal and cereal for breakfast, hard boiled egg whites for her morning snack, soup and steamed veggies for lunch, and a lot of variety for dinner).
* I suddenly have no absolutely idea how we even survived the NBA playoffs without having HDTV. Just thought I'd throw that comment in.
* Last week, we realized that working a few blocks from each other can be very nice. I don't generally leave the office for lunch, but meeting up for a quick bite is something we'll probably start doing on a regular basis.
* It's about time for us to start thinking of names for a baby girl. Don't even bother asking about it.
* Now that we know what flavor this kid will be, suddenly shopping feels more appropriate. I don't know if its because we know what colors we should buy or because the sonogram made this experience more real.

And WHO told you it would be a girl? Hmmmmmmmmmm? I'm so psychic. :)
I am sort of bummed, though. If it was a boy, I was going to send you some Weewee Teepees.
Lindak,
What can I say? You are psychic! The first thing that went through our heads when we learned we were having a girl was that we wouldn't need Weewee Teepees.
YOU'RE psychic too!!! I'm so excited, it's ridiculous. Oh my goodness, I can barely contain myself!!
