Miss J had another ultrasound appointment today, where we received the third independent opinion that we're having a girl, so the odds are pretty good. Additionally, we found out the baby already has hair! (Believe it or not, it shows up on the ultrasound.) This isn't surprising -- my mother just sent us photos of my rather hirsute baby self. If our daughter has as much hair as I did, we might be looking at a baby Crystal Gayle.
Miss J is just over thirty weeks, so we're 75% of the way there. Things are really speeding along. Still no name yet, I'd like to point out, although we had a lot of fun trashing various names with Miss V last night. Deciding against names is remarkably easy. There are so many bad ones!
In other news, we closed on the house yesterday, and everything went smoothly. The real action happened last Friday afternoon at the "signing", where you spend two hours signing every page of a huge stack and initialing many paragraphs on the pages you're already signing. (And -- get this -- they make you sign in blue ink. That is so '80s.) We move in later this month.
I warned you about all the signing. It's ridiculous.
(It's not even funny.)

You did indeed. And do you know how many stacks of paper we had to sign? One, two, three...uh, eleven. I thought we only had four in this country, but I guess we're part of the Autonomous Commie Republic now. I'm saying ELEVEN. Don't you kid yourself.

That's why we've gotta have "SIGN HERE" tabs, because, man, nobody's perfect.
