We have a picture of the goods, but we need to start trying to teach her modesty now. So, we won't be posting that picture. However, here are a couple of the new ultrasound pictures.
During the exam she moved around a lot. She refused to take her face out of Kristols back. The techs were not able to take all the measurements they needed, so we have to go back in 5 weeks. However, the baby did give us the thumbs up at one point and kicked like an Olympic swimmer a few times. She was quite lively, but seriously uncooperative. I guess Kristol's mom was right, our daughter is going to be just like Kristol...
Now we can really start coming up with a name. A proper name. A name befitting a strong Ginapp/Bradley woman. We haven't decided whether or not we are going to tell the general public yet. So we decided that we are going to use a code name for our daughter that we will use publicly (and privately) until we either decide to drop the name to the public or she is born. Therefore, we are going to create a poll and let the public -- you are faithful and loving friends, followers, and reader -- decide what we will be calling our little girl in the "meantime." Additionally, we will take suggestions for the code name and, should a new contender appear, we will have a playoff poll. However, (here is the lawyer fine print) we the parents retain the right to override the poll and choose the code name. Email the proposed code names or leave them in the comment section.

We are really both extremely excited. We have started to talk about just how we are going to decorate the nursery and looking really forward to more bright pink than a circus on acid. We hope to update more often and probably will as so much is going to be happening in the next five months.
Congrats you guys! This is so exciting! Sounds like you have a wild woman in the womb. Todd and I had a nickname for James before he arrived since we didn't find out the sex. We conceived in Lexington, MI which is our summer vacation spot, so we called him Baby Lexington or Lex for short. Keep the updates coming..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Welcome to the "being wrapped around her little finger" club, Asa. :-D
ReplyDeleteWe had some seriously uncooperative daughters, too. And Eva kicked the crap out of Lori from just about Day 1...so we called her Thumper in utero.
I say Lawly... You can guess why!! I think it has a nice ring to it. You can thank me later. =)
