It's a Girl!

Woohoo! The Hipps family found out on Tuesday that, around about January 16, 2004, we will be having a baby girl! This is really pretty staggering news, since my wife and I both grew up with only brothers. Naturally, she has a bit more experience in the area of dealing with girls, having actually been a girl herself, but still, it's fairly intimidating in some ways. On the other hand, I can't wait. I have friends who have daughters and you can really tell that they are the apple of their father's eye. Another boy would have been exciting as well, but having a girl is especially exciting because we can't pretend that we've done it before. This is going to be a whole new ball game. Let the adventure begin!
