Fathers be good to your daughters...

Daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers who turn into mothers so mothers be good to your daughters too. So says John Mayer anyway. I'm not sure where in my life I stopped singing the lyrics to Pearl Jam's "Daughter" and started appreciating the lyrics of John Mayer's "Daughters". I can't quite pinpoint it exactly...probably some time between Brenda Walsh's pregnancy test on 90210 and today. Why today? Well...today we had our 20 week sonogram and learned that #2 won't stand up to go pee. Perhaps I should back up a minute...for those of you that didn't know...Paige is pregnant. How did this happen you ask? Well...we were so inspired by Seth Rogen & Katherine Heigl in Knocked Up that we decided to play the home version. So...now you're caught up. 20 weeks in, 1 sonogram, 1 baby girl.

At this point, even though a fair majority of our friends have children...with the exception of 1 or 2...they're all boys. So for the dads of boys...you remember how you were looking at the sonogram trying to make out some recognizable body part and then "BAM"...the doctor shows you a familiar protrusion? Well...today I was ready...so sure that it was a boy...I jumped at everything that moved proudly announcing "is that what I think it is" or "Whoops...what's that". And, with 100% certainty...every time...it was the umbilical cord. Then...that little girl modestly shifted positions and well...there was nothing. To her credit, my 20 week old baby girl, naked and still in her mother's womb announced her femaleness with more modesty than any of the Spears girls...although somehow she'll still end up on YouTube (see below). Regardless...I think we're off to a good start.

Oh yeah...in between me playing Jacques Cousteau on the search for the missing wee-wee...the Dr. did tell us that the baby looked great and she was even a little big (that's a good thing at this point so don't go giving her a pre-natal eating disorder).

So...without further ado...the first pictures of babygirl Newman at T minus 4.5 months...enjoy...I'm going to go put in my John Mayer CD.
