Many of you know that my wife and I are expecting our first child. She is currently 19 weeks pregnant. We had discussed at length whether we wanted to find out the gender of the baby ahead of time or "be surprised." I had normally been more traditional in this regard and figured I would always wait until the birth. The fact that I am over here has changed my mind. I don't know why it matters, but it does. We decided that we would rather know ahead of time via an ultrasound picture. We have been blessed with a flawless pregnancy so far. Yesterday, she was far enough along to get an accurate picture that would let us know the gender. It is going to be a boy! We both have been just hoping for a healthy baby of either gender, but secretly hoping that it was a boy. I am elated beyond words. We are discussing names now. Life is good.

While inside, we could call him
"Cletus the Fetus" or
"Critter Little" or
"GI Jr"
I'll let you two think of more appropriate names for when he is done cookin' Lots of joy to both of you- Ginny

Yep, it's a boy. Can see that hand reaching for a baseball glove, and he's mouthing the words, "Are we there yet?".
Congratulations to you both.
