It's a girl kitten

The vet said we have a girl. After much discussion (and some arguing) the children have settled on "Shadow" as her name. The vet also told us to hold her and pet her as much as possible to comfort her and get her used to people.

We held her a lot before we put her to bed, but Steve said he heard her cry all night alone in the laundry room. So we've been holding her all during the day when she's not eating, drinking, or visiting her sandbox. And Marley is sleeping with her in the laundry room.
