Looks Like a Girl!!!

September 8, 2006

Emily claims to have known the gender of our baby for a long time. I thought that confidence was a little misplaced.. like being confident about a heads-or-tails call. But Emily was fervently sure.. wanting to talk only about names for girls. Now she looks prophetic, since indeed the growing baby has turned out to be almost certainly a girl.

We have watched Emily's tummy expand little by little.. and we have known (of course) that something was inside. It was different to hear the quick whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh of the baby's heart. Then we were taken into a little room and watched the images of the baby thrown up on a screen above Emily's bed.

We got a couple good views of the baby, and I am posting them here. These are the first views of a new human being.. a new little Smith..

For a name Emily favors Angelina Peace. I like Imogen Peace.
