Is it a boy? Is it a girl? No, it’s Skeletor!
At least, that is what I believe. The photographic evidence given at yesterday’s ultrasound belies only the fact that the creature within me has a skull. The doctor kept excitedly pointing out, “Oh, there’s the bladder! It looks great! And her stomach! And yup, she’s definitely a girl!” All I saw were grainy, unreliable images that proved only that she was a battering ram who cared not for the instrument taking her picture. She wasn’t so cooperative in the scan. She’d just lie there, starting at the Doppler. I figure it’s good practice for when she’s 13 and ceases speaking to me because I won’t let her tattoo a picture of Goethe on her leg.
So, anyway, baby Skeletor is a girl. This caused me to immediately go in to the baby registry and slap pink all over the place. Girly items will be a lovely compliment to the Baby Cthulhu picture Peter had commissioned for his first born daughter.
Also, if anyone would like to take part in baby naming fun, we have set up a poll to solicit opinions:
Maybe I should add “Panthor.”

Hey Adrienne,
Love your new blog! Don’t know how to go about voting. Your mom told me about the contest. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. I still like the name Molly, but she said you looked up the meaning (can’t remember what she told me) and kinda changed your mind. Maybe I’ll try again, but I didn’t know what to type in for keyword. I know, I’m dumb!
Glad everything is perking along just fine.
Love, Jeanne
