Now the Debate Begins

So...Mommy and Daddy have two names that they like. Of course, they don't have a preference for one over the other so it isn't making their lives any easier.

They are thinking about the names Evan or Anderson.

Here is a little background on both:

Anderson:
Scandinavian: Manly, brave; variant of Andrew
Scottish: Manly, brave; variant of Andrew

Evan:
Celtic: Young warrior
Scottish: Variant of John

So...here is what I am going to do. On the right hand side of this page, I am going to include a poll. Let me know what you like best and we will see what you think I should be named! Have fun!

Boy oh boy!

In case you haven't heard the news yet, because I know mom and dad were shouting it out loud last night, I decided it was time to reveal on of the many secrets I possess...am I a boy or a girl???

Well, as my cleverly disguised title states, I'm a boy!!!

A little story behind this discovery. Mom and dad went in for an ultrasound last night. Might I add, if I have to do that again I am going to be very upset. How would you like it if someone kept pushing on you and rolling some around on your head, butt, or whatever. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, especially when it lasts a half hour!!!

Anyway, as mommy and daddy sat down, I heard mommy tell daddy that they weren't going to be able to find out what I am. Daddy was mad. Of course, daddy always sounds mad. It's hard to tell when you are floating around in a gallon of fluid!

So, they went into the room where someone started pushing on me. I already went over how pleasant that is! After about fifteen minutes or so, I could tell mommy got a little emotional. Her heart started to race, so mine did too. I couldn't tell what was going on. It wasn't until later that I heard mommy telling some woman named Grandma that the guy pushing on me typed the word BOY on the ultrasound. Even though he couldn't tell them, he said if mom and dad saw something on the screen, he couldn't stop them! Cool guy!

So, the secret is out. Fathers, lock up your daughters...cause here I come!!!

As always, here is my quote for the day:

What is up my lovely outside noise makers!

Greetings from the wavy womb! This is Baby Baker #2 hitting you up from inside Mommy's belly! For those that have not been introduced to me before, let me say hello. I am Baby Baker #2. Or, as my big sister Ella calls me, her Baby Brudder. Now, I am not giving any hints as to whether or not I am a baby brother or sister, but big sister insists I am the first and not the second on that list. You'll see soon enough!

All is well deep in the dark innards of mommy. I am starting to spin around like crazy and mommy is saying she can feel me. Good thing! I want her to know I am here. I don't want big sister to get all of the attention!

Speaking of big sis...this kid sounds awesome. What a hell raiser! She is constantly giving me kisses and hugs...well...at least mommy's belly. But I know she is doing it and I love it. I have yet to see the light of day and I am already this loved. Awesome!

And who the heck is this daddy guy! I keep hearing his name and I keep hearing his voice. I think he might be important, but at this point, I just don't know who he is. Guess, just as is the case with all of the mysteries in my life, I will find out soon enough.

Well, enough from me for now. Because I am going to be the great philosopher and thinker of this family, I will try to leave you each time with a quote. Today's is:

Don't forget that compared to a grownup person every baby is a genius.
-- May Sarton

To that, I add...and don't you forget it!
