She makes babies! (So I don't have to *g*)

I get to beat borgmama to the punch because she had to go straight to teaching a class while I'm in front of a computer. So it's my honor and privilege to announce that the currently scheduled addition to our wild and wooly group is....

A Girl!

Yes, Spenser Elizabeth is due on or about September 20th and will be joining Alexander Kent (Xander, who will be 2 years 7 months) and Nicholas Andrew (Nicky, who will be 1 year 1 month) -- 18 months between the first two and 13 months between the last two, 31 months between all three. Irish triplets, anyone?

We're all very excited. Everyone was hoping for a girl but didn't care one way or another, if that makes any sense. Nice, strong, four-chambered heart. Two arms and two legs, all with the proper end parts. Exactly the right size and weight for this point in her development, which matches up with her due date.

Go Team Borg!

I thought you could be 100% certain it was a boy if you saw the "turtle", but beyond that you could only be "mostly sure" that it was a girl?

Besides, I think that Spenser breaks the "Russian Rulers Rule." Yekaterina is a MUCH better name. We would also accept any of the following names, including derivatives: Katerina, Sophia, Anastasia, Natalia, Svetlana, Paulina or Tanya.

I think I'll call her Tanya which is Russian for "Fairy Queen."

You asked for it.

She's not a shy girl. At all. Opened her legs whenever the technician asked her to. Said technician then pointed out the relevent parts: "See this? And this? Labia."

Three times.

And quoted a 99.9999% assurance that she's a girl.

The other two had very unshy turtles and the same technician.

I'm going to put on an Avery Brook as Hawk accent and call her "Spensah".

Ooooh! I like that idea. Except I think you should call her Nerys!

Let's hope that's a behavior limited only to medical situations.

But then you can't do the accent!

And besides, Hawk was much, much taller and intimidating than Sisko. Don't ask me how. Probably that incredible wardrobe helped.

You and me both! Luckily, she'll have 2 older brothers (who, if judging by their father and paternal grandfather, will be rather large) to keep her out of trouble. We hope! :P

She'll get over her enthusiasm once she meets Dr. Speculum and Dr. Stirrups.

Amazingly enough, the "Russian Rulers Rule" was completely accidental. I'm attributing it more, or blaming it on, Joss Whedon. At least the Xander part of it. And after all, as nice a tribute it would be, I just can't bring myself to call my little girl "Spike" - even though we all know that's how she got here in the first place!

BTW, Spenser's middle name will be Elizabeth (with so many English and Russian Monarch connections, I can't bring myself to count them up!) ;)

Heh, it hasn't stopped me yet! Yeah, I know, TMI, but hey, that is the rep after all. :D
