chelidonOn this auspicious day (ding, dong, the 8-year reign of idiocy is over), I am very pleased to report that the blood tests and ultrasounds came out perfectly normal, so much so that no amnio is needed after all (insert big sigh of relief), and...it's a boy! The pictures leave, er, no doubt. F will be thrilled, he really wanted a little brother (who will, no doubt, idolize him).
So now we need to start thinking of boy's names. Given the new puppy in the house, I can't help but think of Sean Connery in the third Indiana Jones movie: "We named the *dog* Griffin..." "The DOG?"
hee hee. C didn't think that was so funny.
Still.

Good thing I didn't send the dresses! Newborn is quite young to start with drag ;-)

Date: 2009-01-20 06:08 pm (UTC)And as a brief ramble, it's funny -- until at least sometime in the later 1800s (industrial age), all boy and girl babies, once they outgrew swaddling clothes and for the first few years at least, tended to wear what were basically dresses or smocks, none of this sex-typed clothing modern society seems to be so concerned about.
Here is a link to a very elaborate boy's dress from the 1850s (http://dlxs.lib.wayne.edu/cgi/i/image/image-idx?bbdbid=568&xc=1&c=aict&c=cfai&c=dhhcc&c=djg&c=hcc&c=heartic&c=hfhcc&c=hmcc&c=map&c=mbd&c=ntgl&c=rcn&c=sampleic&c=vmc&back=back1232474603&chaperone=S-HFHCC-X-76.104.8+EM02A76_104_8D.JP2&ox=0&oy=0&lastres=1&res=1&width=600&height=900&maxw=1200&maxh=1800&subview=getsid&view=bbentry&viewid=EM02A76_104_8D.JP2&entryid=x-76.104.8&cc=hfhcc&quality=1&resnum=5&evl=full-image&image.x=105&image.y=266), in the Henry Ford museum. Hard to imagine that being seen as acceptable today, even though our views about gender are supposedly so much more "enlightened."

I also have visions of Roth coming to track down my son for compromising his daughter's virtue....(or vice versa, after all, she'll be the older, more experienced woman ;>)
You could not have named the last one more perfectly
