Obstetricize, foo!

Word from Lauren: it's a girl!

Which makes me... still an uncle. Hey hey! A nephew in December and a niece in April!

It's really getting down to the wire with Erin and she's yet to decide on a name. "Norman"? "Francis"? "Beauregard"? "Millard"? "Chas"? "Cartwright"? "Wang Lung"? "Gimley"? "Pratt"? "Barney"? "Greg Jr."? It's all up in the air!

Lauren and Steve, on the other hand, have decided on "Elliana Grace". Yeah, it's Princessy, so what? You have a problem with that? Lauren got her ultrasound last week, which proved inconclusive in the gender department. Luckily, a family friend is studying to be an obstetrician and invited Lauren to sneak in for a second scan. At this point, they're 99% sure: that's a vagina!

Lauren sent a few pics over and provided the following annotations:

Attached are the pics of our little one. Again, it's "ELLIANA", but you can just say "Ellie". :) :)

Okay, so the pics you are looking at... (I know they look clear to me, but can be hard to translate).






This is the "thumbs up" pic. It's just her hand and arm. The glowing part is her elbow.






Here's the "Mostly full body" shot. It was the position she was in when we got our first ultrasound, so we couldn't tell what she was. If you can see, the spine is pretty clear at the top. She is face down, you can see the profile, then the knees are tucked up to her chest.






This one's a closer pic, so you can just see her profile (face up) at the top.






I wasn't going to include this, but they were attached, so oh well. It's the one that apparently tells us she is a girl. It looks like a "u" shape, but it's the bottom of her butt and underneath her legs.


Sheesh. And I thought decoding spam was difficult.

I'll have to take your word for it, Laur. It would take a more astute observer than me to unlock the mysteries of gender identity from these images, but I guess that's why people go to obstetrician school.

Still, a niece! Pray for pretty!
