And, it's official....

[kyrielle]

It's a boy!

(Also official: I love having first appointment of the day, they got me in to the ultrasound on time, and in to the rest of the appointment early. Yay!)

Yay!

Congrats on the boy.

They're harder to potty train, but at least they won't come home knocked up! ;)

[kyrielle]

LOL. Fun games with Cheerios when we get to that stage, maybe. :P

Moar pew pew, less qq! Teehee.

It's good to know, so you can get prepared.

[solcita.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[susandennis]

Wow. I've never had a baby but it seems to me that learning the gender just puts such a face on him. I know he was real before but - I'm not saying this correctly but cool. :)

[kyrielle]

:) Thank you! (And you're saying it at least as well as I could've. *grins* And we did get to see his face today, too. In spite of his valiant attempts to make it difficult by waving his arms all around in front of it. (He was squirming tons.)

[susandennis]

It just must have been amazing. I'm so excited for you.

[katbyte.livejournal.com]

Nobody on my friends list will be able to top this news!!!

This is so exciting I can't stand it!!

[kyrielle]

Heee. Thank you. I'm pretty excited too. :)

[lady-of-mists.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh! And next to pick out the name! :D Yay!

[kyrielle]

Nah, the names were already picked out. ;)

[retsuko.livejournal.com]

Congrats! And what is the name?!

[kyrielle]

My apologies; not going to put that on a public post on the internets. I do not trust the discretion of the internet quite that far. :)

The best thing that I've read today!
Did you have the 3D scan?
Love to you all

[kyrielle]

:) Just the regular ultrasound, I've not heard of a 3D scan?

[phoenixscribe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're relatively new -- and in so much detail that the resulting picture is sort of the quality of a fuzzy photo. You get relatively realistic images instead of the really blurry ultrasound picture that you have to know how to read.

(Sorry, but the episode of Friends where Rachel keeps losing the ability to see her baby in the ultrasound just won't get out of my head right now.)

[kyrielle]

Huh, cool. I'd say that I wish I could've gotten that but, honestly, I'm just happy that he's healthy (and that we know what gender to use in referring, it makes sentences easier!). It was so cool to see him at all. I do imagine the poor ultrasound tech might've liked an easier look at his face, though.

In the doctor's waiting room I was reading the headlines on a magazine (not the articles, tho) and I noticed "how to tell if your baby will be athletic". Which made me roll my eyes, but at least right now mine is. :P

[phoenixscribe.livejournal.com]

Oh, good grief. I have the answer for that, and I didn't even need to read the article!

"Wait until they grow up; they'll show you."

Pfeh.

[kyrielle]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, I'm sorry, but unless your baby has an obvious disability that precludes it, it's way too early to tell. And frankly? Stupid to worry about too. :P

[eevieivy.livejournal.com]

Yay for on-time appointments, and congrats. Of course, I would've said congrats if it was a girl, too, but still. I figure ten fingers, ten toes. ;)

[kyrielle]

Thank you! *grins* And yep, everything normal is good. (A couple people asked me beforehand what I hoped it would be. Uh, healthy, human? *grins*)

[phoenixscribe.livejournal.com]

My mom wanted a puppy.

[canyoncat.livejournal.com]

Yay for blue! Never been a big fan of pink. :)


It's funny because when we were up a the Canyon last week I saw something cute and thought of you but it was only available in pink or blue... no unisex color. Ah, well, there's still October... unless work figures out some way to screw me out of that.

[kyrielle]

I like blue or pink. Either the colors, or the genders referred to, though I admit I think gender-tying colors is silly. :P (That said, I'd never dress a baby in the "other" gender's color because it would confuse too many people, but.)

[phoenixscribe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's difficult at best to ensure that people assign the right gender to an infant. When Leo was really little, I'd dress him in clearly boy clothes; as a result, anyone who saw him from the front first believes him to be a boy. However, both of my kids got my curls; anyone who saw him from the back first thought he was a girl because of the curl.

Leo's tendency to introduce "my brother Tim" to everyone he saw eliminated gender confusion for Tim, though.

[kyrielle]

*grins* That introduction DOES remove the ambiguity!

[djadjamankh.livejournal.com]

Ten fingers. Ten toes. A couple of eyes. Sounds like all's well. Congrats!

[kyrielle]

*grins* Yep! Squirmy little thing. Heartbeat and all the usual stuff. Boy, girl, either would've made me happy (but, at least now I know!)

[phoenixscribe.livejournal.com]

Now that I've replied to so many other comments, I suppose I should actuall say:

CONGRATS! Boyhood is a wonderful state of being, and I'll give you only one piece of advice on surviving it: "If it doesn't involve blood, broken bones, or loss of consciousness, I don't want to know about it."

[kyrielle]

Heee. Thank you! :D

[mika-vumner.livejournal.com]

I so remember hearing that from my mom... must remember it for later. :P

[jerusha.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[kyrielle]

Thank you!

[mika-vumner.livejournal.com]

Wohoo!!!

Congrats! :) *laughs* I guess I'll see if my other friend who just recently found out she was pregnant, will need the clothes now. She only just got to hear the heartbeat for the first time last week. :)

Many many congrats!

[kyrielle]

:) Thank you - and thank you for the thought even if he didn't cooperate. Congratulations to your friend! :)

[harpie.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!! And yay for boys!

[kyrielle]

Thank you! )
