It's a Girl!

We found out yesterday that we are having a girl.  Dennis was really pulling for a boy.  While I know he's happy baby is healthy, he is still disappointed.  As much as I wanted a girl, I would have been perfectly fine with a boy.  In fact, the more I saw how much Dennis wanted a boy, I actually began to hope it was a boy. I know he wanted a little baseball player, and even though girls can play sports too, softball just isn't the same.  Although the doctor was pretty confident in his assessment, he still gave Dennis a modicum of hope.  He explained it was still early, but we would know for sure at our next appointment (Nov. 11) because the baby would be twice in size.  That's all Dennis needed to hear.  So according to Dennis, Baby Fowler is only tentatively a girl. 
The more I think about it, I'm beginning to regret I ever hoped for a girl because she is going to have Dennis wrapped around her finger.  He's already like that with Snickers.  He may not admit it, but he treats Snickers differently than Tucker and Maverick.  He lets Snickers do things that I just don't allow.  So you know what that means? I am going to be the mean parent and Daddy is going to be the nice parent.
