Bittersweet Holiday


For those of you who didn't get our Christmas Letter, here's a PDF file. Megan and I wish we could have gotten it to you, but it's likely we don't have your address. The picture was taken by "Little Flower" Cheryl from work when she was at our Christmas party.

Yes, the new baby is a girl. I guess Derek will get to tell her his story after all. Everyone seemed to be thrown off by "the part in question" which actually is the labia, seen here on a cross-sectional view of her pelvis.

Finding out her gender came with some distressing news. Sorry, I don't want to go into the details yet, but Megan's going to get a high level ultrasound and an amniocentesis this morning. We shared the details with a few people, and they have all been EXTREMELY supportive. Nevertheless, our daughter has already earned the title of "Our Little Drama Queen" from Megan, and I don't see how I'm NOT going to spoil this kid. She's earned her idenity too. Her name is Paige Elizabeth Nguyen.

Originally, my song this week was going be the bittersweet "Christmas Time Is Here" from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, but I'm feeling hopeful this morning so you get "Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!" by Sufjan Stevens.
