It's a Girl!

I found out on January 11, 2012 that I am having a girl or at least they are 90% sure of it. The baby did not want to open her legs at all. Travis, my husband stood there like a proud dad, “That’s right you don’t open your legs for nobody,” said Trav with a smile on his face. Christina, the sonogram technician and I just laughed. Travis and I have picked girls names carefully. As a young girl, I wrote up names of baby names that I liked (god knows why I did that). I went back to this list and there were names like Tatiana, Thalia, Katelyn, etc… I just did not like any of these choices anymore. As an adult I loved the name Chloe, but I feel that my mom would have a hard time saying this with a Spanish accent. I will continue to explore different options, but I think we have picked our names and sticking to it. Yesterday, I had co-workers ask me these options and I received bad feedback. One girl even went as far as laughing in my face and shaking her head vigorously. I was highly offended and embarrassed. Choosing a name for your child is personal and that is not the reaction you want. It is equivalent to someone saying your kid is “breathtaking” or plain old ugly. I would like to tell the world everything I am experiencing with this pregnancy, but that incident has really shied me away from saying anything personal. However, I did get great feedback from my sisters and my dear cousin—that was great. Feedback is always awesome minus the malicious intent.
