It's (Going to Be) a Girl!

Marcie had her 18-week ultrasound and we're happy to say that the baby was most cooperative. Thus the ultrasound technician was able to say quite definitively that Baby Shapiro is going to be a girl! Marcie and her mother have been expecting a girl all along. Whereas, my father, Sherwin, and I have all thought it would be a boy. Obviously, we were all guessing along gender lines (sort of like how the Congress always votes along party lines).

Wrong guesses notwithstanding, we're certainly thrilled. And of course, I'll be digging up my sheet music for the song "Daddy's Little Girl" in the very near future.

Now we just need to decide on a name. We'll let everyone know when we know.
