This is gonna be short because I’m way tired- but we found out today that our baby is a boy :) Shocker, huh? For some reason we were working under the assumption "girl," but I think we’re both finding out that reality and a for real honest-to-goodness PROOF of an ultrasound feels better (and scarier) and more exciting than anything we might have had in our heads before. Now we just have to figure out a name! Suggestions are being taken from anyone who cares to venture one. One condition, you have to have a reason for suggesting it. (My Dad came up with that one earlier when he suggested Gordon "because it’s cool.") Today went by like a flash- busy all day at work, came home to run to WalMart, go on a walk down the hill and back, and then some house stuff before heading to bed. I’m BEAT, I’m happy. I feel- like a Mom. Just a little. And I’m going to have a little boy.

YAY! Congratulations! Boys are great!
I don’t have any name suggestions for specific names, really. We just try to pick names that mean something to us, whether that means they’re non-freaky family names or people we love. And another rule the we use is that our kiddo has to be able to grow old with the name so that our daughter’s not something cutesy at birth but it’s weird when she’s 90. I guess names to me are like tattoos – would I want this when I’m old and saggy? We figure Katie can be Katherine, Kate, Katie or whatever variation she’d like depending on her stage of life.
