So the Fish Said...
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you, that you be my poem, I whisper with my lips close to your ear.
- Walt Whitman
Fishmarket
Meet the Fish
I want to get a pet duck and keep it in the bathtub.
I am addicted to chap stick and altoids.
I am freakishly flexible.

Ugh, really? Sorry to hear that. You oughta see if you can get your money back.
If not, people from foreign countries will usually adopt them.

I freaked out on your husband's site, I'm a little embarrassed. BUT YAY, A GIRL. Now I guess I must start searching for the perfect baby girl gift! You're going to be a wonderful mother to a very fortunate daughter, Beth.

Posted by lu | March 9, 2005 10:09 PM
I'm hoping Patrick was kidding?
I'm actually kinda sorry I read Chris's site first...I like your way of telling us, though his entry was great too. Augh, I'm torn.

I can't hear the song, but judging from the comments, it's something about a little girl. Yay, yay and yay! You can teach her all about owning LOTS of handbags.

Posted by Southern Chaos | March 10, 2005 9:30 AM
WooHoo!
Posted by amber | March 10, 2005 9:31 AM
Congratulations! Although I kind of feel bad for Chris...you will never get out of the house on time again with hair, makeup, and trying on different outfits for both of you. :-)
Seriously, that's wonderful!!!
Posted by Krush | March 10, 2005 9:34 AM
As a girl, I have to say that I never really tried on more than one outfit or did much with my hair.
I think, however, that if any girl had to have parents, having you and Chris, people who will allow her to be herself and encourage her to achieve and show her emotions and love...
Yeah, I'm glad I was right. :)
Posted by alektra | March 10, 2005 9:37 AM

Posted by laura | March 11, 2005 1:57 PM
I really should know better, but I went to Chris's blog anyway... and got all verklempt and shit... and then I come in here and listen to that and even though I already knew it was a girl I'm tearing up anyway.
You bastards.
(Congrats!)
Posted by Iki | March 11, 2005 3:02 PM
YAY! Girls rock!!! You will have so much more fun shopping for clothes for her. Just watch out for the attitude. It will be touching down in your home in approximately four years. You have been forewarned.
Now get thee to the nearest Gymboree!
Posted by Mary | March 11, 2005 3:31 PM
Awesome. Now you can go crazy buying all those pretty clothes :)

Congrats! Oh, a sweet little girl! I am sorry it's taken me so long to get around to commenting here, had a wedding to go to! Now that things are calm and I know what other sorts of items to pack in the box, I will be sending out the baby afghan as soon as possible! Full of little baby girl things to boot! I love shopping for girl stuff! :)
