The Curse is Broken!

That's right, we're actually having a boy! I was so convinced we were having a girl I had to keep asking the dr, are you sure? He had to show me the baby's bottom view (here's one leg, here's the other leg, and here's this thing in the middle that is not a leg ;) before I would believe him. I went to see a perinatal specialist to get my ultrasoud done since we had all those complications with Jocelyn, so I got the full treatment (4D ultrasound, sooo cool!). He showed me just about everything (the baby even has a healthy liver!), so it was really, really exciting. Everything looks good and looks normal. He said that I have a 20-25% chance of having another preemie, but that gives me a 75% chance that everything will be normal, so things are looking pretty good. Now we just have to pick out a name!

OH MY GOD. No way!!!!!!!!! Goodness, I don't think I'll even know how to be an auntie to a nephew.

Just so you know, gender in no way precludes this kid from having to learn to cook, just like all the others.

Yay a boy!! That's so great! Younger brothers are fun :) If I had a son, I'd name him Charles and knickname him Chas. I've always liked that name...

Congratulations! Forgive me for asking, but I don't actually know which last names you've chosen for any of my first cousins, once removed. Will this baby be have your last name, and truly break the curse ?
