It's a Girl

It's a Girl!!!
"In a stastical analysis of the probability regarding the gender of Baby Bell, odds were strongly in favor of an XY chromosomal pair. All other data sample sets were exclusively XX chromosomal pairs through 12 samples of the local population (our neighborhood). To achieve another XX pair in this sample population without the external influence of a correlating factor has a probability approaching nil. The fact that we determined we will be having an XX pair therefore suggests there is something in the water..." - Nelson

Basically, what Nelson is trying to say is that we thought that with all of the little girls around us (plus five of my girlfriends from college and/or CA have had little girls in the last year and a half), we would surely be having a boy. So, we were surprised to find out that we are having a little girl. We are overjoyed to know that our little baby girl is doing well and looks totally healthy. During the ultrasound she was kicking and squirming like crazy.

Today I am struck by the verses in Psalm 139: 13-14. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." Our little girl has ten toes and ten fingers and is being created by an amazing God!

I am questioning Nelson's sample size of 12. As we all know 12 is not a large enough sample to draaw any conclusions from, also what was your standard deviation and did you really look at the correlation between the water and sex of the child. Hahaha just giving you a hard time nelson I hope all is well and congrats.
