OMG!!! Congratulations Very Happy Are you as freaked out about having a teenage daughter as I am?

Are you still thinking Peyton for a girl's name?

I'm so glad she looks healthy.

See! I was sending out girl vibes and you got all down on me. I bet you're pretty excited though!

I'm so glad you're having a girl! I think every mom deserves a girl even though I'm happy with my guys --wouldn't trade 'em for girls if I could, I still miss that I never could buy those frilly girl clothes. Crying or Very sad

yeah, that's the money shot. Just to the left of the writing is the labia, supposedly. I could sort of see what she was talking about on the actual computer screen, but the pic looks really grainy and muddy to me.
We headed straight to Gymbo where I bought 3 adorable cherry summer outfits. Laughing

I'm sort of still in shock. It's really weird to be saying "her" and "she". Dh and I were cracking up thinking about her being in jr. high and thinking about all her little friends who will think her older brothers are cute. Cool Laughing

Pretty sure her name will be Paige Evelyn Faith. Very Happy

Woohoo! How exciting. Just wait--having girls is so fun.
Evelyn is my Grandmother's name. I have a friend with a dd named Evelyn and they call her Evi, which I love. I know you are not doing the whole "go by the middle name" thing again, though. Wink

Can I join you? DH would not allow frilly clothes (i.e. dresses are impractical, I don't want her with skinned knees!) and my MIL would beat me to the punch on buying girlie colored tomboy clothes.

I just have to hope Freecycle has some good stuff when I need it.

Congrats! I was terrified at having a girl but my daughter has been the best. It really is weird but sweet having a better version of a "mini me"
I love the names you picked too!

Congrats! Girls are fun to dress, even if you don't go all frills. It's just one of those sexist things, there's just so much more out there for girls!

I am so not a frilly person. If it has lace and ruffles, it's not for me. Laughing I was getting very smitten looking at the Hanna catalog last night. Those playdresses look so comfy and sweet. And I have been obsessed with their silly fleece jackets with the cone-head hoods ever since Annie posted a pic of Molly in one a couple years ago. Very Happy

I went through our tub of girl stuff from when I was pg with Ethan. Other than a few of the tiny sleepers, I don't think most of it will work season-wise. Confused
