It's official...

...We are having a boy! The doctor was able to get some great shots of the little guy's arms and legs and face and so on. He appears to be quite healthy and is big for how far along we are- 11 ounces (which doesn't really seem big to me; but hey, I am an accountant, not a doctor.)

Anyway, now we really are in a pickle. Heather and I just can't seem to make any headway on names, unless we want to give the boy a complex to go alone with a girl's name. So, be sure to pipe in with the best (and worst) names you can think of. (My thought at this precise moment is Eagle.)

During an earlier visit to the doctor I was able to video little Eagle's heartbeat (ok, just kidding. No one is calling him Eagle.) Check this video out. It's amazing!

Earlier this month we took a trip to New York, Boston, Concord, Salem and elsewhere. We will post some pictures of our trip soon (my favorite are the pictures of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. A perfect visit for the Halloween Season!)

With all going on, we are doing well. Heather has been very sick during this pregnancy and we continue to hope and pray she will feel better. She is a trooper for keeping up with her students at school and keeping me out of trouble, all while being pregnant! We are excited for the changes that are coming and are look forward to this exciting time in our life.

Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, the following name have been officially vetoed: Stone, Platinum, and Grave-digger. Maybe next time.

My vote is for Justin Blackham. Then you can call him 'Just Black' for short, or 'tin ham'. Either way it is cool!

Oh that is WAY exciting!! Unfortunately I have no good boys names...we had a ROUGH time coming up with Bridger's. Good luck on the name hunt! Yeah for another little boy...there will be a little football team!

Well, since all the celebrities are naming their kids crazy names- like Apple... I think you should do something more masculine... like Squash. Or Cucumber.

Here's the list:
The top 10 is:
1 Moon Unit - Frank Zappa
2 Apple - Chris Martin/Gwyneth Paltrow
3 Misty Kyd - Sharleen Spiteri
4 Geronimo - Alex James
5 Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily - Michael Hutchence/Paula Yates
6 Dandelion - Keith Richards (Rolling Stones)
7 Dweezil - Frank Zappa
8 Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q - Bono (U2)
9 Zowie Bowie - David Bowie
10 Rufus Tiger - Roger Taylor (Queen)

These are all possibilities.

Or actually if you don't go with Dweezil- I think you should do a tribute to Dr. Seuss and name your son Horton. Horton Blackham. It's perfect! ;)
