I KNOW IT’S A GIRL BECAUSE I YELLED SUSAN B. ANTHONY AT THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION

-Tracy Jordan (30 Rock Season 4 Episode 09 – Klaus and Greta)

For a long time my Beau and I playfully honored this 30Rock oddity after our attempts. Mostly cause it’s funny and absurd, but partially because we secretly hoped it came from the bizarro mind of Tiny Fey. And who does want to think about Tina Fey (or perhaps more appropriately – Liz Lemon) immediately after sex? Hot stuff.  Then, a few months ago, after a late night screening of Bettlejuice, we decided that our true hopes for conceiving a daughter might be better realized by invoking the name of a more contemporary heroine. LYDIA DEETZ, we implore you, please grant us a little girl!
