My baby doesn't have a penis!

Hilarious subject line! Congrats, OP!

And this totally mirrors my reaction to, after being convinced I was carrying a girl, finding out that our first baby DOES have a penis.

The healthy thing cracks me up. I've been telling people that we're under contractual obligation to answer all gender preference questions with that rote "As long as the baby is healthy" response, even though it's a complete non sequitur.

OP here. My husband yesterday (after we found out baby's sex) said he really had no preference, just wanted a healthy baby. Even I don't believe him! By evening, he was going on and on about how great it will be to have a girl.

To a PP offering me a shirt with the subject line on it: would love that! May have to make my very own.

Oh, and turns out I suck at girl's names. I can think of only ONE that I particularly like. All others are too this, too that, used by one of my immediate family members (who reproduce like rabbits), or sound horrible with our last name. Our last name is a rather plain vanilla last name, but it happens to start with a letter that many names end with (so the names run together too much), and it ends with a sound that is very common in many names. So a whole bunch of decent names get shot down because it would sound like "Lily Gilly" (not our real name, but you get the idea).

Hey, at least I have a few months before delivering this strange, new, penis-less creature!

So much yes. I'd rush through it when asked what we were hoping for. "Well, you know, healthyhappyblahblahblah, we're hoping for a girl."

Yay! You can shop on the "pink side" of the store now!

We already had a two year old boy, and were convinced DC #2 was a boy too. Didn't find out the sex before birth, and when she came out, DH looked up at me, kind of incredulous, and said, "It's a GIRL?!?!?!?!?" First time we went to change the diaper, be both just kind of looked at each other, like "what do we do with THIS??" I got to do the honors, because as DH said, "you're more familiar with the equipment." Now she's 9mo and such a joy! It's a delight watching she and her brother play together. I am NOT a girly girl, but plan to send her to her aunt's for "feminine boot camp" at some point in early adolescence.

I have 2 boys and last week during the nuchal screen the perinatologist said he thought he saw the beginnings of a little penis --- so it looks like my baby #3 has a penis
