The Ultrasound Video
Ignor the typo…I put this together pretty quick. I meant to PROVE it. 
It's a Boy!!!
Meet Sweet Pea.
Here is a picture of the little guy from the same angle as if he was sitting on a copy machine. See the Boy Stuff? The arrow is pointing at it.
Mother and baby are healthy. Baby is 9in long and approx 12oz. He's in the 46th percentile for size, which was a relief since both Andrea and I were BIG. I'm working on the ultrasound video. I should have it up later this evening.]]>
Picking the name….
Obviously none of these names are final. This is just a representative sample of the direction of our thinking.
Boy:
James
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: Supplanter
Evan
Origin: Welsh, Hebrew
Meaning: God is Gracious, Swift
Ethan
Origin: English
Meaning: Strong, firm, impetuous
Duncan
Origin: Celtic
Meaning: Dark Skinned Warrior
Ian
Origin: Scottish
Meaning: God is Gracious
Pulling out the girl names for now…
As you can see these lists are pretty short. One reason is we're trying to steer clear of the very popular names. To help us do this we've been looking at various baby name websites and books. My Friend Erika Thornes who is expecting her third child, showed me this awesome baby name site.
This site is very cool, it lists the names visually over time and shows the naming trends over the past 200 years! Note the fall off of Adolf after WWII.
