Barnabas Monkeypants

We found out today that Number Two is a girl, and we are very, very excited. Raphe is over the moon because, as I’m sure you’ve heard him say, he’s counting on the fact that a little girl will want to hold his hand longer (i.e., until she’s older) than a little boy would.

We’re now plotting how to tell Henry about Number Two. We haven’t told him yet because we didn’t want to stress him out before it was really necessary. I suppose it’s still not entirely necessary yet, but we’ve ordered some picture books about babies and when the time feels right, we’ll talk to him about the impending arrival of his new baby sister.

(Not the greatest ultrasound image, but it was the only one that didn’t make her look like a roast turkey. Apparently she’s taking that whole “fetal position” thing very seriously.)
