It's A Girl! (And FO*)

John and Rachel are having a GIRL! Hooray! During the sonogram yesterday, said girl was very cooperative, doing cartwheels and backflips and generally entertaining everyone in the room. The technician said she is "positive" this is a girl, so we shouldn't have a repeat of Ellen's grandchild adventure - where the proud parents found out just six weeks before the birth that, whoops, Colleen was actually Colin. Hopefully, Rachel will figure out how to use the scanner soon and I'll have pictures to share.

Rachel and John were both hoping for a boy. I think one of Rachel's biggest concerns is that Addison (Delaney? Ainsley? No decision yet on the name) will turn out to be a girly-girl. You know - ruffles and lace and glitter makeup and changing clothes six times a day. That would be a challenge. John nailed Rachel's personality exactly when, for her birthday, he gave her a teddy bear, a diamond necklace and a handgun. And for Christmas, she got a cross-bow. Not a girly-girl. But whether the baby turns out to be a girly-girl or a tomboy, I know they will be up to the challenge (and give me lots of blogging material for years to come . . . . )

*Remember the UFO I found while organizing my craft supplies? The one I started 15 years ago? Finished! It's long and narrow so I'm calling it a stroller blanket. I designed the border based on the yarns that were in the bag with the finished squares. I like it. Hopefully, the mother-to-be will like it also.
