The other reason that today is happy is that we learned we are expecting a girl! We had an ultrasound appointment this morning, and we even let Sam skip the first part of school so he could come as well. As I watched this Shirley Temple clip later this afternoon, after the appointment, I couldn't help but think about how it will be fun to have a darling girl (who may or may not wear frilly dresses with poofy slips, just like some of her S family aunts did when they were little). And I'm especially excited to have a girl who loves her daddy as much as I love J. I want to teach her the following song, so she can call J her "big old handsome Romeo." This song, "Baby, Take a Bow" is from the movie Stand Up and Cheer (see Shirley Temple's entrance at 3:22):
And now, here's our own little baby, undoubtedly with her own little bunch of personality. "I'm presenting her right now: Baby, take a bow!"

I loved that clip. how old was she in that? HOly cow I had forgotten how talented she was as so young. your daughter will be memorable and unique and talented, for sure!
love you guys!.
A baby girl will be so fun! Congratulations!!
congrats on the GIRL!! it's so fun to get a little girl's "perspective" on life. :)
Grandma J told me today that she is very thrilled for the first great granddaughter! I admit, I had the hunch it would be a girl... Hooray!
I became a little bit reflective too after hearing Shirley Temple. In some ways, I feel like she was more of an entertainment icon growing up than disney movies, just because we didn't have very many of those around. I feel qualified (and E for that matter) to tutor your daughter in the practice of poofy slips for day and nightwear if you feel inclined. :)
A girl a girl!!
