It's a Boy!

Kelly was right all along (which is usually the case for most things)! We’re having a boy!

We went to our ultrasound appointment yesterday to see how our baby was doing. First things first: we checked the heartbeat – nice and steady at 138 bpm.

Next we checked internal organs: all necessary hardware were accounted for and appeared to be fully operational.

After that we needed just a quick peek to see if we were having a boy or a girl. I started to think that it would be a girl because the baby had obviously picked up Kelly’s modesty –the baby didn’t want to show us anything at first.

Finally the nurse got a good angle and said, “There it is – you’re having a boy!” Kelly said, “Are you sure it’s a boy?” The nurse said, “Oh, it’s pretty obvious! That is definitely a boy!” I just stood there with a big proud grin on my face, “That’s my boy!”

Kelly later looked at this picture and sighed, "I can already tell he has your personality - he's waving and playing up to the camera!"

Now we’re faced with the daunting task of naming this little guy (See previous post What's In A Name). His name will be similar to mine in that his first name will be Robert (named after my dad) but he will go by his middle name. Based upon his first picture, I think the name of Skeletor would be most appropriate . . . which is a great name for a linebacker!

We’ll keep you posted!
