For the Record: I would not have picked this outfit.

The doctor has confirmed it.  We are having a girl.  I will pause now for your applause. (((PAUSE)))

Thank you.

My wife would like to make her official statement  regarding this news:

“PHEW!!! I am glad it is a girl, but a healthy boy would be ok too.  WOO HOO…ITS A GIRL!”

The relief my wife now feels aside, There is one major question that is looming over me and that question is:

“Would I prefer solitary confinement or gen. pop. when I am incarcerated for what ever heinous act I commit on her “boyfriend” at some point in the future.”

I just don’t know the answer to that right now.  It may be too early to decide that.  I suppose that time will tell.  Some other questions that are starting to become apparent are:

• What is the difference between pink and fuchsia?
• How close should I follow behind her on her 1st date so that I am not discovered?
• What is the actual definition of “assault?”
• Can a father of a daughter every really sleep at night once she turns 13?
• WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW?

These are a “Whitman’s Sampler” of what is bombarding my head as of last Friday.   Seriously, I am  anxious, nervous, and excited to be a Dad.  The gender revelation was not that big of a deal as some (me included) thought it would have been.* Some of the comments from my friends, who all have girls of their own, have passed this wisdom to me:

• bought a shotgun yet?
• you are so owned, you don’t even know
• let the ballet lessons and tutus begin!
• heard it was a girl-get ready

Ok, maybe it was a big deal!

My Little Pony-Fly? Oh come on!!!!

This adventure started a while ago, now we know what road it is heading down.  It is pink and smells like Brittany Spears’ Perfume.  It is perilous and lined with hygiene products I couldn’t possible begin to understand.  The Jonas Brothers, Twilight, and “sexting” potentially around every corner.

This is definitely going to be a learning experience.

* IT WAS A BIG DEAL TO THE WIFE! 🙂
