It’s a Boy – No Doubt About It!

Apparently our intuitions were correct from the start when we picked Cletus the Fetus for a nickname. As a proud father-to-be, I have no problem telling the world that my son was ready and waiting for inspection at 9:30 sharp this morning. The ultrasound tech squirted that blue-goo on Amanda’s belly, and before she could even get the words “it’s a … ” out of her mouth, we both knew! Let’s just say he had positioned himself perfectly for his … um … close-up (don’t worry, those photos are not included in the slideshow). I am convinced he knew what our purpose was for visiting the doc today and wanted to remove any uncertainty on the matter.

We are both thrilled, as you might have guessed. Naturally we would have been happy either way, but I have to admit I feel an immense amount of pride knowing that the Cook family name will continue on. Amanda was leaning toward a boy anyway (only one princess per household, you know).

Now what? Well, Amanda wasted no time and already started knitting a baby blanket. And of course, finding a proper name is on the agenda now that the field has been narrowed by 50%. True, we have many wonderful options to choose from already, but I suppose we should do our due diligence and see if we can top Cletus/Mortimer/Horace/etc (no offense folks).

Whatever his name ends up being, he certainly is active and seems to enjoy hanging-out upside down. Check out the ultrasound pictures and see for yourself!
