against all odds

evidence this child could be male:

jesse has all boys in his family. his dad has seven brothers. my dad has four brothers. i have three brothers. you could say we come from a line of male-dominated families.

out of the ten previous davis grandchildren (offspring of my immediate family), seven are boys.

the chinese lunar calendar predicted it would be a boy.

my all-knowing supermom sister told me i had to have a boy so our children could be BFFs.

all nicknames given to the baby have been male-oriented (such as "shank" and "moon doggie").

this baby kicks. hard. it makes its presence known.

i just had "that feeling" that it was a boy.

but, against all odds, we are thrilled to know we are having a beautiful BABY GIRL!

(which has to be announced in green because, according to gilmore girls, everyone knows that green is the new pink.)

Kodie said...

Yay! I gave Christopher my list of reasons of why I thought you should have a girl, and then concluded that I knew you would have a boy, because you were a Davis. I'm so happily surprised. (Not that a boy wouldn't have been wonderful.)

Jil said...

This is probably the closest I will ever come to having a girl of my own! Would you be sure to make sure she understands that. We are so excited for you!

Carrie said...

YAAAAAAAY! I realize I would say "yay" to a boy too but I want a girl so very badly so I'm glad you got one against all odds. It gives me (some) hope. :) Congrats you two. She's going to be stunning. And a genius.
