It's A . . .



BOY!! All BOY. When I say that, I mean it. We are so excited to be having a boy. I would have been happy with either but I grew up with a big brother so it just seems natural to have a boy as the firstborn. I have had a boy name picked out for about four years. I was having a really hard time with girl names--don't have to think about that this time around!

He is the cutest thing ever. We got a wave and a thumbs-up. He is a thumb sucker and we have the picture to prove it. He even tried to be modest and covered his part with his hand for a minute. I have been told by my doctor and the ultrasound tech that we have a very active baby. The tech was impressed at what a performer he is. Wonder who he gets that trait from?

Thank you Julie for all your help in making my perfect scheme work. Steven wasn't able to be here with me because he has school in New York. I hatched a plan and Julie carried it out perfectly!! That will be something Steven will never forget.

Here is the one and only time I will post my little boy's equipment for the world to see.



He is a happy, healthy baby. Everything measured perfectly. I couldn't ask for an easier pregnancy or a more perfect baby boy. What a perfect day.

HURRAH!!!! I am so happy for you and Steve. Sorry I didn't respond to your text.....my cell phone absolutely broke and I was at the phone store getting a new one. I can't wait to hear the boy's names you have chosen. So glad everything was fine and he is healthy and strong. What a miracle a baby is! Can't wait to see you tomorrow! I love you dear Whit!

Congrats! That is so exciting, I am beginning to wonder if my hubby can even make boys. Then again I wouldn't know what to do with them.
I am so happy for you.

Yippee! We definitely love boys at our house. If you need any advice I think I could offer some. My boys are all boy, but all 3 are so different. I am so excited for you. What a fun day!

I am so excited for you. I never had an older brother and was so jealous of my friends who did, so I wanted a boy so bad as my firstborn so all other siblings could have an older brother... and I too lucked out. I want to know the name you have picked out for him if you will share, and also if you are willing to share, I would love to hear how you told Steven...Your little scheme!
