A few weeks ago we found out “it” is a she!  And I had another ultrasound last week and the tech confirmed it.

Shot between the legs... it's a girl!

Side note- the ultrasounds were amazing.  I had to go back twice to get all of the organs measured.  It was amazing the detail they can go into- every chamber of the heart was measured, every area of the brain… they checked her bladder and kidneys and the tech said that everything looked perfect- such a relief to hear!

We were surprised and elated at the news!  I felt boy all along, but we both secretly hoped for a girl.  My mom said she thought I was a boy too, so Little Parasite is in good company!

Now begins the name game!

I still want unique- that’s a main goal.  And something meaningful.  Irish or Welsh or something meaningful from our lives.  I want 3 or 4 we love and then I want to meet her and decide who she is.

Right now I really like the name Niamh- pronounced “NEEve” or “NEE-iv”.  I found the Welsh variant though and it’s “Nia” which I really like.  2 syllables, easy to spell…  Maybe as a nickname?

I’ve always liked Rhiannon.  Being drawn to Welsh names in general right now.

I also really like Muirgheal- pronounced “mor-iel”.  I love Mora as a nickname.

The list needs to keep growing!  My plan is to use this blog to keep track of names I like.

18 1/2 weeks to go!
