Birthday It's a Girl - Page 4

So as many of you know, the wife and I are expecting our first child.
Last week we had our first ultrasound, and for a while we were trying to decide if we were going to find out the sex of the baby or not. We decided several weeks ago that we were going to have the tech write it down on an envelope, and for Mother's Day, with the whole family around, open it in front of everyone so the whole family could share in the suprise.

We opened it yesterday and found out we will be having a baby girl.

So we are excited, but still in a little bit of shock. It's one more step toward this whole thing being very real. I was wanting a boy, but obviously am ecstatic either way, and am in love with the idea of having a little girl.

But, also, there are (to me) infinite more fears that go along with having a girl that I will have to work through. It's exciting, though, and I can't wait for the challenge of living up to some of the role models my wife and I have as far as raising children.

Heartfelt congrats Sully! I have a daughter that is 13 1/2 now and have upgraded from bb-gun to pellet in anticipation of keeping the boys at bay. When you need a good bb-gun let me know.
