I am so relieved that we don't have to deal with the hemophilia thing hanging over us, I can't even believe it. I didn't even realize how much I was worried about that until the tech said the baby was a girl, and tears sprang to my eyes. G and I held hands for the whole rest of the ultrasound, and while I was looking at all her little bits and parts, I just kept thinking "I'm going to have a daughter."
It has made the whole thing so much more real to us both...I feel like I just can't wait to meet her.
And everything else looked great, we saw the heart and brain and bladder and all that. She was rolling around, stretched out her legs at one point, and it even looked like she was scratching the top of her head. She is so cute! (says the completely unbiased mommy)
So I know I will have a lot more thoughts to share about having a girl, but right now I am just excited. And of course being me, and maybe because I come from the world of IF, I'm still afraid that somehow the other shoe is going to drop and something will go wrong. But for now I'm trying to just be grateful and happy that we've made it this far, to this amazing milestone.

Lastly, you may have noticed that I've changed my name here to simply "A". The truth is that my real name, while it does start with A, isn't Ava and I am starting to feel funny about using that name. So from now on, I'll be going by A...

YAY!!!!! I'm so glad you're having a girl so there is one less thing to stress over with this pregnancy!!
Now, I'm sure you'll get far more stress from her later on in life, but YIPPEE for now! LOL
Time to start looking at crib bedding, it's soooo darn cute.
Hey A,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you are so excited about having a girl! It's SO exciting.
Congratulations on a very beautiful daughter (from a completely unbiased spectator)!
I'm so happy for you! I have to wait four more weeks. It's agony....
Wonderful news! Obviously, without the hemophilia issue, a boy would have been welcomed equally, but I can understand your relief.
Looking good!!!!!
Oh my gosh - I go away for a few days and I missed your big news!!
Yay! I'm so excited for you!
