IT'S A BOY!

That's right, it's a boy! We've changed the blog colors in honor of the announcement. Wayne is super psyched to get his little boy, and Liz is super psyched to get to go shopping for non-pink baby items. But now we've got to name the little guy! Liz is pushing to use silly nicknames until a real name is decided, that way no one gets attached to a name that's not final. Suggestions are "Gomer", "Bubba", or "Billy Bob". Here's the list of our real contenders:
VOTE on my Name List
Liz's frontrunner is Tristan. Wayne's frontrunner is James. We're still VERY open to suggestions and would love your opinions/comments on those in the running. If you want to suggest a name, either tell us in person or let us know in the comments. If we like it for consideration we'll add it to the list. Thanks guys!

The guessing game is almost over!

This second pregnancy has been less than fun, but one thing I enjoy is wondering whether we're going to have a boy or a girl. It's like trying to figure out what you're getting for Christmas, but with MUCH larger consequences. Wayne definately wants a boy, and Korbie has voiced her preference towards that as well. I LOVE all the cute pink clothes we have leftover from Lexi, and would love to have someone to put them on again. Plus, my mom has reminded me that, well, we just don't do boys. It's an all girl's club as far as we're concerned, because boys are just no fun to take shopping. However, the more friends I talk to with little boys the more I hear that they are less drama. So I guess it's good either way, right? The time for guessing is nearly over, because we are getting the ultrasound on January 25th at 2pm. I'll be 21 weeks, so the baby should be nice and big, hopefully eliminating any uncertainty about the gender. So if you want to weigh in your prediction, vote in our poll now, before it's too late and you can no longer say "I told you so!".

Be sure to look back here to find out the results, if we haven't told you in person. Also, once we know what we're having, the naming game starts. This time around we're undecided so far and I want to take in a lot of suggestions and opinions before making any permanent decisions, just for a change of pace. We may even wait until we see the little guy or girl to make it final, we'll see. We have a list of names we're thinking about so far on babynames.com, and once we know the gender, I'll post a link to the list. There you can vote on the name(s) you like or dislike, and we'd love to hear your comments. Hey, we know you'd just say them behind our backs later, so let's hear them first!
