It's (Going To Be) A Boy

Today we had the ultrasound done, and there was pretty conclusive proof on the monitor that Child of Peddie must henceforth be thought of as Son of Peddie. From just about the first moment we could see anything on the monitor, it was clear that our baby is not just active, but positively fidgety. The ultrasound lasted for about fifteen minutes, during which time that evolving bit of protoplasm did everything but play the banjo. Some of the highlights would include - rolling over onto its stomach, moving one arm around in the air (okay, not really air, but, you know - work with me here), and wiggling its little legs while lying on its back. We also got some pictures of the ultrasound, but none of the electronic variety, so I guess maybe there won't be any pictures in the Blog-O-Rama until after the baby is born.

We haven't thought of any boy names yet - all of the good names we had thought of to this point have been girl names. Some possible candidates, mostly thought of today after the ultrasound, include: Jackson, Ryan, and Andrew. We haven't really ruled anything out, although I'm not interested in naming the baby after myself (which would make it the fourth in a series - we are not, after all, French monarchs). I'm also not interseted in Biblical names, which is the only real problem I see with Andrew. But hey...there's still time, I suppose. A slightly more detailed version of this post can be found over in The Baby Blog.
