BR: Pictures from Friday
Here are a couple pictures of baby 
Emma has suggested "Baby", "Cornball", and "Larry" as possible baby names.

Re: BR: Pictures from Friday
I personally think Larry is a great choice. Good job Emma.
Congrats again - I loved the anatomy ultrasound - I could have stared at that screen for hours!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
Aww. I can tell it's a baby! This is usually not the case for me. ;-)
Congrats Ritzy - I missed the post with the reveal but yay for a sister for Emma!
I'm a fan of both Baby and Cornball, so maybe first/middle?!
Ultrasounds are so cool!
Congrats again on the baby girl!
YAY! I wasn't around on Friday, but I saw that it's a girl.
While it's very tough to choose, I would pick Cornball for the name as it is the most unique. You are basically guaranteed there won't be another Cornball in her class growing up.
P.S. If you end up not using Cornball, do you mind if I steal your name??
Thanks Erin! How have you been feeling?
Really they're all great choices. "Larry" is so classic, and you can't go wrong with classic. "Cornball" is a bit unexpected but fun at the same time, and "Baby" is definitely appropriate as well, but I worry it may be too trendy. We can't have 10 other little girls named "Baby" at her Preschool.
I'm thinking maybe "Larry Cornball"
Julie, I think we've settled on it as a middle name. So you are more than welcome to use it as your first name choice. You could ask Emma for help with the middle name if you want. Clearly she's gifted in this area.
Sidenote, how have you been feeling? Have you told everyone at work yet? I know you mentioned you were dreading it because of your flaky coworker. Do you plan on finding out what you're having? If so, Emma would be willing to do a "Gender Assessment" beforehand free of charge. She has a 100% success rate.
Yay!! Don't feel bad, I was terrible at this too. I remember when I was still working and coworkers would bring in their pictures. I'd look at them and say "ohh, that's so cute" and then afterward I'd ask the people around me "what were we even looking at?"
LoL... well alright Jenni, but just for you!
How have you been feeling?
So glad you had such a great appointment!!
I've been feeling great (knock on wood)! I told my work and it's nice to not have to worry about keeping it a secret. I have just been telling people as it comes out, versus a formal announcement, so I feel like I'm getting the side eye from people I haven't told it to. It's not obvious enough to tell that I'm pregnant so I think people are wondering if I am just getting fat.
Our anatomy scan is 2 weeks from tomorrow, but we won't be finding out the sex. Perhaps Emma could still do an assessment and we could find out if she's right at birth? I don't know if I need any more ideas for names -- Cornball would work for a boy or girl. As well as Larry for that matter!
haha that is so funny! At least it is better than butthead or whatever she was calling you a few weeks ago
Mommy's little helper
She would be more than happy to. Perhaps I could orchestrate another GTG for all the pregnant women who want an assessment and Emma could be on hand to offer her services.
Glad you're feeling well!!
Congratulations - you can tell she's adorable already
Oh, and you should totally go with Emma's suggestion of Larry.
LoL... yeah, for real. She told me I was a "butthole", but thankfully it only happened that one time.
Thanks Sarah!
.....and everyone else for the nice comments!
"Cornball" is a term she picked up while staying at my parents' house the week I was in the hospital. It's so cute when she says it because it sounds kinda' like "coneball". She cracks us up!!
Just wait until the nuggets are talking. I'm sure there will never be a dull moment between the two of them!
congrats! Emma sure does have a great mind for names.
I remember my niece, who was 2 at the time insisted that my other niece's name was "baby chopsticks" until the day she was born, it was hillarious. Kids have such odd imaginations sometimes.
