It’s a girl!

I had my first ultrasound appointment yesterday and I called my parents immediately after, well after we went out to eat. This morning I sent out an email to everyone with pictures of the ultrasound.

One friend said:

Woo hoo a girl! I really like her name too, it’s so pretty. I always get a little chuckle though when one of our big bad male friends has a daughter! It always feels so just.

My reply:

Actually Kurt seemed a little relieved that it’s a girl. He has some strange idea that in order to be a good dad to a boy you’ve gotta play sports with him and Kurt isn’t into any sports. I kept telling him that a boy will mostly likely be attached to whatever sport/activity dad likes, which in Kurt’s case would be everything motorcycle. He’s already talking about a dirt bike for little Sophia.

Kurt’s mother said:

I have never seen an ultrasound before. I am surprised at how clear it is. She is BEAUTIFUL! But what the hell happened to Darth Jorgen?

My reply:

You should see the 3-D ultra sound pics they have out now. One of my co-workers got those and they’re kinda creepy. You actually see the face and they give it a flesh tone.

Oh and about Darth - Apparently Sophia won out during the great sperm war of January 2007.

That’s right Sophia - if you had been a boy there was a chance your name would have been Darth as in Darth Vader. Kurt even said once, “I hope he has asthma” - so that you would sound just like Darth. The other name he wanted was Erik, after his brother. My objection to that one was that it would seem like you were named after me, and Eric with a “k” just isn’t right.
