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.

Posted by: Patrick at March 9, 2005 10:00 PM

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: samantha at March 9, 2005 10:04 PM

Hooray! For dresses, two words: Ralph Lauren. So, were you guys thinking a girl?

Posted by: lu at 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.

Posted by: Heather at March 9, 2005 10:18 PM

Congrats!!!! Now you get to buy pretty girl clothes!

Posted by: wendy at March 10, 2005 12:41 AM

See? I knew it had to be a little girl when you said no morning sickness... only little boys give up that kinda noise. :)

Congratulations!!! Little girls are so much fun!

Posted by: Keri at March 10, 2005 12:47 AM

Bravo!!!! What a great way to tell us! Congratulations to you and Chris and hugs to baby Lima, too!

Posted by: zanie at March 10, 2005 12:54 AM

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: DeAnn at March 10, 2005 01:59 AM

AH! I'm actually crying a little over here. Though I have a feeling I would done that no matter what flavor you got.
Happy! Happy!

Congrats you two!!

Wow, so it is a limA bean. I am so happy for you, I just knew it! I only want a little girl, shame on me I know, but they're so much fun. Good luck, and can't wait to see her! :)

Posted by: Southern Chaos at March 10, 2005 09:30 AM

WooHoo!

Posted by: amber at March 10, 2005 09:31 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 at March 10, 2005 09:34 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 at March 10, 2005 09:37 AM

i'm a lousy guesser, but congrats anyway!

Posted by: laura at March 11, 2005 01:57 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 at March 11, 2005 03:02 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 at March 11, 2005 03:31 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! :)
