[quote=Anonymous]OP reporting in: the baby is here and healthy and beautiful, and we're thrilled! The birth went well, I decided to go with an epidural this time (10/10 stars, highly recommend!), both baby and I came through fine. As the ultrasounds showed, things look ambiguous, gender-wise, though somewhat more male at least externally. We've already been seen at CHOP, and have yet more appointments to come (geneticist, urologist, endocrinologist, all these folks are involved) as we try to sort out exactly what's going on and how to proceed; a bunch of tests have been ordered so we'll learn more as we get results back and see the various doctors. All of the medical folks we've interacted with so far have been really wonderful, kind, and patient, so we feel like we've in very good hands as a family.

We went ahead and gave the baby a gender neutral name and are currently using non-binary pronouns (they/them/their) - feels a bit awkward rolling off the tongue, and the grandparents aren't 100% catching on (they are trying though!), but feels like the wisest course of action for right now.

Thank you all again for the unwavering support as I navigated the second half of pregnancy dealing with this unusual situation - it was a huge help, and I sincerely appreciate it. There are still lots of unknowns and there will be some complex decisions to make as we start to get answers, but I think we're going to be ok.
