It's a...

BOY!!!

So we had our doctor's appointment on Thursday and found out we are having a boy! Nik was excited and started cheering in the room. For weeks Nik has been saying it's a boy and how the doctors don't know yet, but he does. Well now he's even more obnoxious, saying he always knew and had no worries...blah blah blah....but before our appointment, he did confess to being a little nervous. I'm really excited to be having a boy. Even though I felt like it was going to be a boy (but thought maybe Nik's obnoxiousness was just rubbing off on me), I was still kind of surprised. Growing up, with a family of all girls and then the first grandbaby being a girl, I guess I figured we'd end up having a girl as well.

So our baby is quite active. It was cute at first, but then appointments drag on forever and the nurses get annoyed. This last appointment the nurses needed a lot of measurements, so of course it took extra long. At first they joked about how active he is, then they got frustrated and kept saying "he's REALLY active". We are preparing ourselves now. Active can be a lot of fun, as long as it's manageable.

After our appointment we went shopping for an outfit for the baby to wear home from the hospital. We found this outfit at gymboree. Nik liked the bib and I really liked the hat. You can't see them in the picture, but there are little spikes going down the head. So cute!

So as far as names go...I am pretty sure we've settled on the name. We like the name Conan Zedekiah. Conan was the only boy name we've ever agreed on. At first Conan was just a name I liked, and now it's the only name I like for a boy. I'm still a little hesitant, with the whole Conan Obrien thing and all...but whatever...I like the name. So unless we think of another name we like better....Conan Zedekiah Brownell it is!
