It is about 20 weeks into the pregnancy which is half way and today we found out that we are having a girl. We are both very excited because we can finally talk about the baby as a 'she' instead of an 'it'. That makes the idea of the impending parenthood slightly more real in a weird way. The baby is no longer just a thing in there, it is now our proto-daughter. The whole situation is a very weird surreal thing. Also, during the sonogram, we watched her heart beat for a bit to make sure everything is in normal working order. That was super cool. It's hard to describe what we are feeling emotionally other than happiness and... wow.
We don't have a girl name picked out yet. Some of the ones we are considering are, Camilla, Penelope, and, Darwyn. It should be noted that a few weeks ago Amber really liked Daisy Mae. I am putting that here so we can laugh at it later. ;)
For a mini-celebration we went and had Japanese food at Satomi. It was fantastic.
