Background Story: It's Gotta Be A Girl

Repost from Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 the bump blog:

From the beginning Jay said our tater tot was female. I was quick to disagree with him and said it was definitely a boy. I'm a pretty competitive person. Last night, Jay and I had a staring contest. We randomly locked eyes and with a raise of his eyebrow he had challenged me. Once challenged, I simply cannot back down. We stared at each other across the table for what felt like hours. Eyelids twitching, eyeballs drying out I was the first to resort to mind games, opening my eyes wider as if saying "I could do this allll day". But then a speck of dus took me out of the game. I lost fair and square. No hard feelings.

Then I realized something. I hadn't placed my bet on blue because I actually thought it was a boy. I didn't have any gut instinct pulling me that direction. I mean we picked a boy name first, but come on, boys names are way easier than girls names!

Nope, I just said it was a boy so that I had a 50% chance of being right. And if I'm right, then he's wrong! Na-na na-na na na! If I said I thought it was a girl too we would be in the 100% boat. 100% right or 100% wrong. What fun is that?

We picked the girls name this week. Daphne Marie. So now that we have a name I would like to officially join Jay on the we-think-it's-a-girl-but-have-no-proof team.

More to come.
