"I can't wait until you have children of your own..."
...that was followed by...
"...and I hope they're all girls!"
I for one thought nothing of it, who does when you're young and stupid. However, I've come to realize that Mothers posess magic abilities, and they use that magic to teach their kids lessons.
I'm proud to say that the words my mother spoke long ago are becoming reality, as Tina and I have found out this evening that our first child will be a girl. We're also proud to say that the baby is healthy, has all it's limbs, and has a large head like his father (that's what it seems to look like to me at least, who knows!)
Tina's absolutely giddy about the news. I'm also excited, but I tend to look way too much into the future of things. For instance, everyone says children grow up so fast. Does this mean that before I know it, I'll be dealing with first bras, boys daring to date her, college, and god forbid having to let her get married? I think about that movie "Father of the Bride" and can realistically see me as Steve Martin's character.
A lot to think about indeed, but don't worry, I won't drown myself with worries. That is, until the next daughter is born, and the one after that even! How do I know the trend of girls will continue? My mother wished it so.
With all that said, Tina and I are very happy 'bout the little girl to be. Certainly helps us narrow down the names. I leave you with the best of the ultrasound pictures we were given of the girl.
This is the head shot, look close and you'll see a shadow of the ear, the nose and mouth contours. She's about 11.5 inches long now.
