It's a BOY!!

Despite widespread speculation that Baby K was a girl, the little tyke takes after his father in more way than one and is a BOY!! We are very excited. Actually I don't think very excited covers what Michael is, but you get the picture. As mom said, we need a string to tie to his foot to keep him from floating away. His first order of business upon arriving home after the sonogram was to register the baby for a 3 year old basketball goal "like Matthew and Andrew have". Nevermind that the poor kid won't be able to use it for three years, Michael said he needed to brush up on his skills before the baby started playing with it!! I know...I'm in for it!

Notice that I'm still calling him "the baby". That's because he is still without a name. We know the middle name will be Edward because its a family name, but that is all we know. Michael has his favorites, and I have mine. However they do NOT intersect. :) We may need to bring in a mediator in this process!! J/K. We have a "fall back" name that we both like in case we can't find one we both LOVE!

Baby K checked out perfectly. All his little organs and systems are developing appropriately. He weights 12 ounces and his momma has gained 12 pounds. We are still measuring for the due date of February 2nd.

Now, I know you want to see the sonogram pictures, but I'm going to be "that" mother. I'm putting my blog on private in ONE WEEK. If you read the blog, and would like to receive an invitation to continue reading the blog, please send me an email at marybethketchum @ gmail.com (remove spaces). We will not be posting pictures of the little guy on Facebook unless I get over my freakoutness of handing over the rights to pictures of my child to Mark Zuckerburg. So if you want to see him, you'll have to send me the email. I'm not concerned with whether I know you "directly", so if you've found my blog through someone else, go ahead and email me. I'll add you, but just let me know how you found the blog.

After you receive the invitation, you will register and then just login each time you view the blog. Its as simple as logging into gmail or facebook. I'll still notify you on Facebook when I put up a new post.

Go ahead, talk about me. I know you will! :) I'm cool with that. I'm a first time mom, don't I get some lee way!!

I'll post sono pictures after I put the blog on private. :)
