Tonya and PQBON's WebLog
We saw pancakes!
Ok, let me explain. No, it would take too long, let me sum up:
Tonya and I went for our first major ultrasound appointment today at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, which is where we are going to have the baby. Well, she will have the baby, Kristen will be the coach, and I'll be there to get yelled at so neither the nurses, doctors, nor Kristen have to be berated by my wife. Back to the story. So we went for our ultrasound this morning. They baby is healthy and looks fine. 5 fingers, all major organs, and brain parts were visiable. The spine looked fine so did her tib/fib and rad/ulna and femur and humerous on both sides. It was a little wierd to see bones with no Ti reinforcement.
So on to the pancakes. When they sex a baby using ultrasound you either see a boy, and we all know what a boy looks like (if you don't, go to google and type the word: penis into the search terms, make sure to turn off the google content protection and click away). On a girl what you see is three bright lines where the penis isn't. It looks sort of like a short stack of pancakes.
Its actually a good thing we are having a girl. Tonya and I were having a hard time with boys names. Now we can save that battle for later. Her name is: Kathryn (after my mom's mom) Willow (after my middle name) Deutsch (our last name). Tonya actually formulated the name, my initial suggestion was Kathryn Margaret. It was reject for sounding too nun like.
Honey...isn't it Kathryn....not Katheryn. Unless your grandma spelled it different. But it normally doesn't have a e.
