Spoiler Alert!!!! - Post includes baby gender
Out of respect for family wishes - I am not revealing the baby's gender immediately. Basically, I know this gets posted to Facebook, but I'm not sure how much of the actual text shows up in the ticker window. So, I'm delaying all announcements and links until I don't think they'll show up and ruin someone's surprise. So SPOILER ALERT!!!! - don't keep reading if you don't want to know the gender.
Okay, I think I'm in the clear - hopefully. So on Tuesday we had the big ultrasound. And by big I mean BIG - the things lasted 30+minutes. The tech did all kinds of measurements on the head, brain, heart, arms, legs, found all the internal organs to make sure everything was where and developing as it should be. THankfully, it all is. Not surprisingly, the baby was measuring a week ahead of schedule. But since Gene and I are so tall, the tech just figured we were going to have a tall/long baby.
Okay, I know I am definitely in the clear now. So the first thing we saw let us know we were having a boy! He was displaying all his boys parts very proudly so there was no question about it. Gene was really happy when he found out. He couldn't go with me to the ultrasound since he had just started his new job. My mom was there so I was nice I wasn't alone. I'm glad it was a boy, because all the stuff we had bought and planned was kinda boyish, so I guess it was providential or karma or something. The thing we're stuck with now, is a serious lack of names. I had all kinds of names I loved for girls, but I cannot for the life of me think a good ones for boys. I like older names, but everyone else thinks they sound old manish - which granted some of them are. Gene just doesn't like a lot of the 'cute' names because he doesn't think they sound very adult when the baby grows up, and I definitely agree. So, we made a new list and I want people to tell me what they think, because I seriously need help getting excited about these. Here's the link
Email me or leave me a message on Facebook if there are any you love or hate and why. Maybe that'll help. Thanks!

Oh, I'm so excited for you! I voted no on Drake not because I think it's a bad name, but because I don't think you want to spend years being asked if you named your kid after where you went to college ;)
Yeah, it started as a joke, but then we inda liked it. That's been the weird thing with these names. We come up with stuff purely as a joke and end up not hating it. But, your reasons are why we weren't absolutely in love with it.
