Were YOU Correct?? It's A......

Posted by Nathan & Valerie at 10:30 AM |14 comments
We got a total of 58 votes on our baby gender vote. That's a lot more than we thought we'd get!

Before Valerie and I left this morning for the doctor's office, the final vote tally was:

BOY: 22 (37.93%)

GIRL: 36 (62.07%)

Valerie and I went to our exciting appointment this morning near her office in Washington, DC. All morning she was drinking water to prepare for the ultrasound. She drank three bottles of water thinking that she needed a full bladder (as they had requested from her in an earlier stage in this pregnancy).

When she got changed into the gown and laid down on the table the assistant told her she didn't need a full bladder since she was at 20 weeks and so Valerie hopped off the table and ran to the bathroom, thus prolonging the test - much like I'm doing in prolonging the news on whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

The technician first did checks for body measurement and checks to rule out disabilities and deformities (thank goodness). All test came back normal. Phew!!

And now...onto the good stuff.

As the images below show. We have a healthy, normal looking.... well I'll let the images tell you!











That's right folks, the (Nathan) Coffey family name continues!

As far as names go, we haven't decided on anything (but MAY have an inkling) but regardless at this point we aren't sharing any names with anybody. We may change our mind in the next 19 weeks so stay tuned. Later on I may put up a vote on the birthdate (but fore go the weight and height) - we may even ask for name suggestions. It depends on how we do with the name game.

Thanks for all the votes! We got a lot more than we thought.

For weeks we have had Ellie convinced we're going to name the baby Ebony or Ebenezer. She is appalled and says "Aunt Val, I cannot have a cousin named Ebenezer!"

I guessed correctly! Nathan, Mom, and Bran were all wrong!

I guessed a boy! What do I win? Well I guess you two win because boys are great- speaking from recent experience, of course. Congrats and I wish you two, ahem... three, the best!

i guessed the correct gender. I assume the check is being mailed to me directly. I even voted twice (both for a boy) just to skew the results. you're welcome.
