This kid better get used to hand-me-downs
That sound you heard was one very delighted almost five-year-old:
The upside? I will never have to grapple with the decision of whether or not to circumcise another human being. Downside... the possibility of three women in one house menstruating simultaneously.
Jon is so outnumbered. And we both could not be more thrilled.

Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- Bedtime, Leta lingering defiantly in the hallway. Jon: "If you want fart stories, you better get in bed RIGHT NOW."

- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.

Congratulations! So "Prince Aurora" is up for grabs now? I'm sure you're all just thrilled, as well you should be!
302. Jen said:
Congrats!
And, now a million annoying morons are going to tell you that whatever you decide to name her is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
She's adorable!
303. Nicole said:
Of all the things I could wish for you, the best I can think of is this: May this child be less 'screamy' than Leta was.

I got to name my youngest sister when I was 14. I wonder if she realizes she was named for a character on my favorite show at the time, Dark Shadows...well specifically for the actress who played Josette, Katherine Leigh Scott.

Congrats! Poor, poor Jon. And also: lucky, lucky Jon :-)
306. Heather said:
Congratulations, Armstrongs! Leta, sisters rock. Even if they get on your nerves...at least they aren't smelly boys.
307. Cassandra said:
Congratulations on another girl!!!! And unless you write a huge blog on why circumcision rocks, I will give you internet high-fives and much respect since it sounds like you weren't planning on automatically circing a boy.
308. Amanduh said:
YAY!! I'm so relieved for Leta, haha, and very excited for you two as well :)
309. Amanda said:
Congratulations! How fun to have two girls. I'm hoping my next one is a girl so I won't have to deal with the circ debate either. My rabbi wasn't happy when I told him that my son was staying intact. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is healthy and wonderful.
310. Dyanna said:
I'm personally partial to boys (its all I know) but YAAAAAY!! Girls are what YOU know!! And not for nothin, but she's going to have some cool ass hand-me-downs so it's all good! Congrats!!
311. Kristen Riley said:
How exciting... congratulations!
312. Karen said:
Congratulations on the girly parts! I have two boys so I've never seen those on an ultrasound before. I do have experience with hand-me-downs though- LOVE them. It's like shopping for free in your own garage- it's the best!
And for anyone who is grappling with the circumcision dilemma, please don't! We would never cut a girl's parts, we *should* never cut a boy's. Baby boys and girls are all born perfect, with everything they need and nothing they don't. :)
313. Coyote said:
Ah, jeez, I'm kinda disappointed. I would have LOVED hearing about how adept (or not) you'd become at dodging the magical pee fountain. Nothing quite like a stream of well-aimed urine up your nose at diaper changing time. You're missing out ;-)
-Mother of 3 boys (#4 was a girl!)
314. Tina said:
I am so excited for you all, especially Leta!
She will have a SISTER.
315. lizandboys said:
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I bet Leta is thrilled...I love having two of the same (boys, obviously)...hand-me-downs rock, but their bond (even when they're hating on each other) is awesome.
Get ready for family to ask when you'll try for a boy!...that's an ANNOYING QUESTION! We wanted two kids....healthy was our only request!
YEA! (good luck Jon!)
316. Sherri said:
Yay - I'm very exhausted....I mean "excited"....for you all!! Congrats!!
317. Chris said:
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Pink will rule! So happy for the Armstrongs! Especially the Princess of the house!!!
318. Lynn said:
Congrats! You're giving Leta such a wonderful gift. A sister! How cool is that?

Yippeee! Go girl parts!
320. jayne said:
Congratulations!!!
321. Christina said:
Congratulations! I am so happy for Leta. And, err, you and Jon too!
Looking forward to your book tour btw. :)
322. Jessica said:
Oh how exciting! I was just so sure it was a boy, should have known by the morning sickness. My girls made me sick, my boy was a breeze, at least in the womb. I too had issues with trying to decide to circumcise..in the end I didn't decide, I just told the doctor I hadn't decided and after the first week it's too late to do it. I am pretty ok with the end result.
323. Red said:
YAYAYAYAYAY! my sister is my best friend and i'm sure you all are just thrilled. i am due with my first in april, and we're having a girl. bring on the pink!

331. Julie said:
Congrats! We are also about to be a house where the ladies seriously outnumber the man. (Me, a 2.75 year old girl, a baby girl due in March PLUS a female cat and dog VS. my husband). At least John has Chuck to bond with;)
Girls ROCK!
332. Emily said:
YAY! Congratulations. This one will probably come out looking JUST like you and nothing like Jon. Haha. That'd be hilarious. :)
333. Sarah said:
Congrats! Having two girls is wonderful:) We have close to the same age difference...my oldest was 5.5 when our second was born.

Congratulations!!
And damn, I love technology.
335. leesavee said:
LOVE the circled girl parts! Congratulations, especially to Leta, who KNEW it was a girl all along. Princess Aurora, it is!
336. fe-lady said:
My dad was outnumbered 5-1.
He survived, but barely. He can still do the crossword puzzle in the daily paper.
No-seriously.
Congratulations!
337. Coleen said:
Congratulations! I can't wait to read all about her.
338. Julie said:
Many congrats! Although, I was kinda getting used to Prince Aurora . . .
339. Irishembi said:
Congratulations! I have two girls as well and I am pleased to say the younger one thinks it's awesome to wear clothes her big sister used to wear.
This may of course change during the teen years when everything I do is wrong.
Princess Aurora Hamilton has a lovely ring to it.
340. Aimee said:
Yea!!! I have two girls, too. So much fun. I don't have a sister and always felt like I was missing out on something that had the potential to be pretty amazing. I'm thrilled for my girls that they'll have each other. And for your little girlie-girls, too! Congrats Armstrong Family!

Yeah team chick! (It's good that he's out numbered, makes for fun future games!)

Aww, that's awesome Heather! Congrats again.
343. Melissa said:
YAY vajajay! So excited for you guys!
Going to try and make it out to the 'burbs for your book signing in Chicago with a bunch of other adoring fans...or you can totally stay with us! ;) Congrats on BOTH of your new babies!
344. susanna said:
Girls rock! I'm so excited for all of you!
345. Christa said:
Oh, congratulations! Here's to sugar and spice and everything nice!
And as a mama who has twice had to make the circumcision decision, I'm just a little jealous.
Have a great pregnancy!
346. amy j. said:
As the mom of two girls, all I can say is you'll LOVE it. Nothing closer, as you already know, than a mom and daughter. Enjoy your DAUGHTERS. The noise level in the house is about to rise about 100 decibels (shrieking little girls...fighting over princesses!!).
347. lola said:
stop here before they outnumber you.
(many congrats and warm hugs from the mother of two girls, one teen and one 'tween. we're freaking tired as hell!)

352. Adrienne said:
Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you! I bet Leta is going to be a great big sister to little Princess Aurora!
353. Annagrace said:
YES!!! Two girls is SO fun--almost hilariously frightening, seriously intense, and really, really good. So excited for you!
354. Chris said:
LITERALLY, started crying when I read this. SO amazing! Congratulations!
355. Sarah said:
Congratulations again, Heather! There is nothing in this world like a sister :)
356. Marissa said:
Congrats! I don't think you should let girl stretch know that you published her girl parts on the internet. p
357. lizinsumner said:
Longtime reader/lurker just wanting to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Any names picked out yet????!!!!!!

Congratulations to yourself and Jon, and I look forward to reading about Leta's fabulous adventures with her little sister!
360. Hayley said:
Delurking to tell you congrats! I've been reading you forever and I'm so excited to hear all the new adventures you'll be having! Armed with meds this time! YAY for meds.
I feel your pain on this whole pregnancy thing... possibly twins, which I find out next week. Think they'd let me sell one on Etsy???
361. DC said:
CONGRATS!! Hope Jon dosen't drown in the Estrogen Ocean.
362. Kristen said:
Congrats. I have 2 girls also. Yes my husband is definatly outnumbered
363. Sarah said:
I just searched for all the comments on circumcision, imagining they'd run the gamut. But they all seemed to respect the idea that this is a decision that should not just be automatic.
In case anyone is performing a poll, here's another mom and dad very happy with our decision to leave our son uncircumcised.
364. Erica said:
congrats to you and your ever growing family.
365. d3 voiceworks said:
Hooray! Maybe your grrrl and my guy (coming Feb 24) will hook up.
Hey--it could happen.
366. Kelly said:
Congrats!!! Just curious, what were you going to do re: circumcision if it was a boy?
I'm 28 weeks prego with a boy and contemplating circumcision or not for my little boy? Debating on this is a regular at my household.
367. Linsey Lou said:
Congratulations are in order for the Dooce family! Such exciting news! John is totally outnumbered, one might say he lives in a "burger joint". :)
368. Mari said:
Congratulations! So exciting... : )
It's all good, the girl thing is John's fault anyway!
369. Anne said:
Congrats!!! I am sure Leta is sooooo excited it is not going to be a boy!
370. Anonymous said:
You wouldn't have to grapple with the circumcision thing for long. It is readily evident that it is whack and pointless. I have confidence in you and your good brain.
371. Liesl said:
That Leta, she calls it like it is.
372. kat said:
whee! a girl! i'm thrilled for all of you.
373. Anonymous said:
Congratulations! I too have 2 girls, 4, and 20months. They couldn't be more different, BUT my 20month old already knows each princess by name, and wants to wear dresses all the time just like her big sister. You will have fun!
374. Bonnie B. said:
I had my first daughter when I was 30 and waited 6 years to have the second daughter. Three of you with PMS is the least of your husband's problems. Tell him it's possible that, one day, he will be living with two girls with PMS and one wife in menopause. That'll make him whimper!
375. Marina said:
Oh this is so cool. Congratulations.
376. Beth said:
That looks like Coco's profile in the top picture. Congratulations- both on having a girl and not having another Coco!

AGH! YES! GO BABY GIRL ARMSTRONG! AAGGHHHH!
Okay. Controlling myself now. Congratulations. That is AWESOME (okay, maybe not controlling myself after all).

I am so thrilled for your family! I can't wait to hear what suggestions you (and Leta) have for the little one. Congratulations!
381. Lisa said:
Congrats! And, oh, 3 women menstruating at once under the same roof sounds just positively frightening!
382. Stephanie Melton said:
So very happy for you! You and I are exactly one week apart in our pregnancies - we found out last week that our 2nd child will be another boy - and could not be happier that I will be the outnumbered one! I am so glad for you, Jon and especially for Leta. Wishes for a continued healthy pregnancy for you -

Hooray for Princess Aurora! It flows so nicely with Fawnzelle.

Do you have any names picked out?

I'll always be amazed at how anyone can see anything in those things... You could have circled her spleen, and I'd go woot! girl parts!
Congratulations to you and Leta, and my deepest sympathies to Jon...

My sister is 2 1/2 years older and we are all of the family that's left now...and it's great. My daughters are 21 and 19 now...hate each other but we did, too, at their age.
Congrats on Leta's new baby doll, Heather and Jon!!!
389. Katie said:
Wow! Congratulations to you all!
390. Christian said:
Oh my gosh, that is just so great! Congratulations to all of you, and I can't wait to follow the naming saga.
391. Megan said:
Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Congrats!!! That is so exciting! Much less of a transition issue for Leta and so nice to use the handmedown clothes. Congrats Heather, Jon, Leta, and doggies!
392. Beth said:
Congratulations! We also recently had our 20-week ultrasound, for our baby due June 11... and she's also a girl :) Wishing you all the best, and enjoying having a online pregnancy companion, sort of. That's a little weird, but I'm okay with it :)
393. Kim said:
Leta can exhale now! Congratulations - two little girls. :)
394. Heather said:
Yes, fear is definitely the appropriate emotion for the PMS times 3 situation. But they definitely have meds for that.
395. Nancy said:
Congratulations! Aurora kind of grows on you. It's very close to one of my favorite names--Rory. (And much better than most of the whack names celebrities have been saddling their children with lately!)
396. Elizabeth_K said:
AWESOME! Congrats to you both --- well, all three of you --- very exciting news!
397. Anonymous said:
YAAAAY!!! that is so awesome.
398. Heidi said:
Congrats! I was actually a little worried about how bad Leta would flip her shit if it *wasn't* a girl. I'm excited to see what you name the little bean.
399. Kate said:
I think Princess Aurora has your chin! Congrats! She's already a beauty.

Congrats! As the father of two girls aged 4 and 2 I can say that John will love every second of it. Being outnumbered never felt so good. They will kick your ass and you will love it.
402. Anonymous said:
Not even born and she is already "exposed!" Aurora is an awesome name...It is what I would like to name my daughter, if I have one...don't steal it lady! People will think I did it because of you! Why? Because I am such a big fan! Congrats! I am one of two female siblings...and wow, it has not been a walk in the park and still isn't. However, we are either pretty different, or too much alike, but I still can't really tell which. How long has this fighting been going on? Oh, about 20 years. That is how old my sister is, and I am 28. Perhaps the large difference in age could account for whatever it is that fuels out constant feuding, but I think has to do with the fact that she constantly takes things without asking...stealing, oh, the stealing. Watch out Leta. And then there is the exceptional selfishness. However, a lot of this has to do with the mistakes that occurred in our rearing. And I am almost positive (there are no guarantees, except of course death) that you two will do a lot better. A lot. You are very thoughtful, and for some reason I think that will make a world of difference.
403. Pixie508 said:

My name vote is for Matilda. Just throwin' that out there.
412. renae said:
Congrats! Just wait, now you have to deal with people asking, aren't you going to try one more time for a boy? I am 8 months pregnant with my second son and as soon as we found out it was another boy everyone constantly asked about me having a third child to "try for a girl". I was like, hey, I am still pregnant with #2, thanks, and I'm just fine with 2 boys and I'm done, no more babies for me! I must say I got pretty pissed off when I got asked that and ended up going off on some people, but hey, I am pregnant and hormonal.
413. PrincesseEmma said:
OMG Congrats!
Looking forward to hearing what you name her!!!
414. kate said:
Awesome. That's exactly how it should be. Every girl should have a sister. Just don't tell my daughter that. She'll probably never get a sibling.
415. Terri said:
I admit I was secretly hoping for a boy....I had all boys and there's just something about a son and mother relationship that I wish every mom could experience.
Oh well, maybe, just maybe you'll reconsider and have a third...it's possible right?
(Anything is POSSIBLE)
416. Erica Hennings said:
Congratulations to LETA! (and you and Jon)
417. Elinda said:
You did this to me!!! I read your blog daily. I watched your animal videos -- and cried. Then... I had a weird hunch today and took a pregnancy test -- POSITIVE!!!! And I have an 8-month-old baby...that I'm still breastfeeding! AGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGHGH! Apparently I'm due the beginning of September.
Now I'm definitely coming to your Denver book signing. I'm blaming this 100% on you! ;P
Congrats on the girl! I have two boys so far -- would love a girl. Maybe we could swap out if it doesn't work out that way for me?
418. Hannah said:
Congratulations! I'm sure Leta was beyond thrilled. And the hand-me-down thing is truly wonderful. We are having our second boy and I've had fun reorganizing all of the old blue baby clothes.
And for the record, you had to be having another girl. I would say at least 80% of people I know right now that are PG are having a boy. My cousin's wife just found out they are having a boy. We'll have four boys in the youngest generation after June...not a vagina among them!
419. Jenn said:
Congratulations!
I got sucked into the daily Chuck a few months ago and have spent the last few weeks reading your archives from the beginning. (january is kind of a down time for me...I'm not a crazy stalker type)
I love your voice, your message, your honesty, your humor...and I'm a sucker for dogs. (and kids)
Can't wait to 'meet' the new Armstrong chick.
420. Shalini said:
Awww yeah! I'm glad it's a girl! I bet Leta's sooooo thrilled! We find out what our baby # 2 is on March 5th. My daughter is wanting a sister and has also said we need to name said sister Aurora... your stories about Leta remind me so much of my lil one...
Can't wait to hear how baby 2 gets along with big sis!
421. Lori Magno said:
Congrats on a healthy child (and secretly YAY! for another girl, sorry Jon...)Best wishes to you all.
Does this mean Jon gets a man cave to correct the hormonal imbalance in the house? After all, it's Jon & Chuck against Heather, Leta, Coco and a player to be named later. That's a lot of girl power for a guy in Crocs and his neurotic dog. Just a thought.
Rooting for all of you from Boston,
-Lori
422. Stephanie said:
Congratulations! I am due with my second 6/14 and have been following along with you on your second pregnancy - feeling many of the same things (the horrendous morning sickness and simultaneous food cravings, being bigger than I was with the first). We had our ultrasound today and are having another boy. I'm the one outnumbered but was told by my husband that I will be the queen.
I'm so happy that everything looks good on the scan and wish you all continued good health!
423. ucelebz said:

I totally heard Leta's screams of delight from here in Melbourne, Australia. She was THAT loud.
Congratulations Heather, Jon and Leta! I'm sure Princess Aurora will eventually learn to like her name.

YEA for girls! I have 2, they are 24 and 22..best damn gals in the world! Also very fun to raise, I guess I could relate to them. Congrats to you and your family
433. Lindsay Erwin said:
YESSSSSS!!! Congrats to you guys!! Sisters are THE SHIZZ. I have a sister who's about 5 years younger and she is my absolute best friend in the entire universe. Leta is soooo lucky, and I hope for their relationship to be as blessed as mine. There are really no words to describe the love I have for my baby sister. It's my most precious gift.
Love love love to you four (!!) xoxo
P.S. My captcha is "climax ou" - haa! Do you set that up? If not, that is rad.
434. Vanessa said:
Congratulations!
My grandparents had 3 children, 7 grandchildren, and so for 1 great-grandchild. Out of those 11 offsprings, there is only 1 boy... and all of us girls find him to be incredibly weird.
Welcome to the land of estrogen.
435. sozzled said:
I love having two girls...and while at ages 11 and 14 they don't seem to understand that having a sister means having someone to drink with and bitch about Mom with, to share clothes with and cry over boys together....and help sneak out of the house, you get the idea. Sister are great! Congrats!

Congratulations!!

YAY! Congrats, guys!
438. Ed Morrow said:

Not to freak you out or anything like that; but right now, inside that child so snug in your womb are the ovaries that holds the very egg that - with any kind of luck - will become your grandchild.
All the best -

So much love and best wishes are being sent your way! I am so happy for you; I have longed for a little girl for so long--and you get two precious babes. (Had to make that awful circumcision choice twice and it was very,very difficult.) Tell Leta I know she'll be the best big sister in the whole wide world and that now she'll get to polly pockets on a much larger scale!
Lots of love and light, T.

Message to Jon: this is survivable, and you might even enjoy it, but be prepared for moments (days? Years?) of total bamboozlement. It's grrrreat.

Congrats on your Princess Aurora! :-) And congrats to big sister Leta - may they grow up to actually like each other after the impending years of sibling rivalry ahead. :-) GOOD LUCK with all that estrogen Jon, you're gonna need it buddy.

Our oldest child is a boy and then we had 3 little girls over the next 7 years. From an economic standpoint, it was WAY cheaper for us to have the girls because we handed down the nice stuff. Once we're paying the tampon bill in a few years it will be a different story.

Take, care.

I knew it! I'm so good at this guessing the sex of the baby game. As a mother of 3 girls ages 4 years, 22 mo and 6 mo let me tell you how petrified of the teen years I am. Please promise me you'll continue this website for the next 15 years so I have somewhere to go to commiserate. Also here are my girl's names. Feel free to use any of them. They are uncommon names for new babies today, but names you've heard of before and, I think, very pretty, much like your daughter's name. You have to remember naming the second one is harder since it has to go with the first one. Anyway our oldest is Sonya, Lana is the middle (good if you want to start a trend with "L" being the first initial in your kids) and Georgia is the baby. Good luck with the name search! It was always the hardest part of my pregnancy! Congrats and long live Disney Princesses! I know I'll be knee deep in them for at least the next 7 years, as I'm sure you will too.:)

Hm. Not one American seems to react to this bizarre routine of mutilating male babies by cutting into their penises... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? (shouting off) Seriously -- it's a totally pointless exercise. No need for it at all.
Anyway, if for no other reason: congratulations on being pregnant with a girl! Hope she turns out as great and fun as Leta! Can the Internet suggest names...?
480. Tore said:
My wife's doctor confirmed on an early ultrasound that that our child was a girl. She could even see the ovaries. "Incredible", I thought, "That's modern technology for you". Then months later, just as our child was being delivered - a c-section was required, so I had to sit behind a curtain by my wife's head - the surgeon said "what a great looking boy". I was certain that due to the circumstances my ears were failing me. After a few seconds, the surgeon lifted the baby forward to us and the kid peed on me with something girls are not supposed to have between their legs, at least not for many years...
I've heard since that when a girl is "confirmed" with an ultrasound, errors do occur. Perhaps you should buy some sex neutral baby clothes?
Now what to do with with my son's dresses...

Congratulations! I'm so looking forward to hearing all about your new sweet baby girl. I have a 9 month old daughter, and although I'm sure a son would be great I love those sweet baby girls- or feisty baby girl in my case.
Just a word of warning, your girls may not be the best of friends growing up. My sister and I were 5 years apart and it made it kind of difficult to be friends when we were little because we were never really at the same stage -plus, she was a little brat :). There were some legendary fights, but we did love each other deep down(deep, deep, deep down). The good news, now at 21 and 26 we are best friends. Once I moved out of the house we became closer immediately. I've decided that some people are just not meant to live together.

Hopefully she won't be as ugly as Leta. That girl has a disgusting 5 head. Eek! She is so ugly. Coco is the most attractive of the troll parade you call a family.

I am thrilled for you and Leta and John and Chuck and Coco!! And Lou!!
With out little niffler, she kept shoving the cord between her legs every time the doctor tried to take a peek, little brat. I told her, I understand the cord is your friend, your only toy, but we do not wrap umbilical cords around our necks in this house. What did she do? Wrapped the damned thing around her neck TWICE. Thankfully I had a cord that when extended fully could stretch from approximately Michigan to East Texas...so it was no trouble to slip the little loops off her neck, but I still grounded the booger.
Kids gotta learn!! Start early!!
And celebrate often. :)

If Jon needs any help coping he can talk to my husband. After the birth of our triplet girls he's very outnumbered ... 6 women and his poor lonesome penised self. Even our pets are girls. All of the people who meet us in public send him condolences and shake their heads. I plan on being doped up on Valium when they all hit their teenage years. That5's what a good mother is supposed to do, right?

Hey Heather! Congratulations on the new baby girl!
I found out I was pregnant the week after you anounced your news. It was a huge surprise for me and my husband because we decided that after 2 losses last year that our daughter (3 1/2 years old) would be an only child. When I read your news I remember thinking that I can live vicariously through you and your pregnancy. Not knowing that I was already pregnant! 12 weeks now and everything seems to be going great!
I hope everything goes smoothly for both of us this year!

"Downside... the possibility of three women in one house menstruating simultaneously."
I know "lol" gets tossed around lightly these days, but I actually did "laugh out loud" at that line. But seriously, most women aren't that bad... except my sister for some reason. She stopped by my place for about 5 minutes the other night and I could tell immediately what time of month it was by what a nutcase she was. Luckily I didn't call her on it, because she REALLY hates that (especially because I'm always right).
At any rate, congrats on the kid! My 2 little nieces and nephew (my brother's kids, ages 6, 4, and 1) are one of the most important things in my life, and they aren't even "mine"!

Welcome future Princess Aurora!!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!
If the lack of sunlight gets to be too much, you might be ok taking zoloft during your pregnancy. My shrink decided it was better to keep me on my OCD/Depression meds (i.e., zoloft) and have me be a calm pregnant woman with an extra-calm fetus, rather than taking me off and having an unmedicated fetus but a psycho pregnant woman.
My husband agreed. ;)
It helped ALOT. Especially when family members had some, uhm, unintended drama that I got pulled into... with me waddling all the way.
'Course, coming to Southern California sounds like a really good solution, too. :) And hey, with the economy, housing prices over here are PLUMMETING. You could move here instead of just visiting.
And we don't have snow. Except on rare occasions in the mountains. And if you pick the right area of Southern California, you get ocean and you can still avoid smog. :) Although, in some beach communities, you might have alot of fog to deal with. I live in an area where the onset of summer is accompanied with what we call "June Gloom", lol.
And you do have to be willing to deal with earthquakes, mudslides, some flooding, and fire season. [With possible loss of property, or having to avoid smoke inhalation.]
But other than that...

Hey, congratulations! I have one of each and the girl is DEFINITELY easier, at least for now. I expect it to change when she turns 13.
And I love the name Aurora. They also called her Briar Rose, or Rose in the movie. Rose is my name and it's also a good one!

Congrats! Girls are great, I have two and they couldn't be more different. You're in for a fun ride.

Congrats! Leta must be over the moon that the baby is Princess (and not Prince) Aurora. :)
