Announcement!

Did you see that my blog is all prettied up? Well, if you did, you can thank my brother, Ben and his wife, Emeth, who took it upon themselves to spend much of yesterday afternoon updating my blog. It feels nice to have a fresh new face on the blog. And perhaps I’ll be motivated to post more frequently?

But my real announcement is that: It’s a boy!

Yes, I had an ultrasound on Dec. 23, early in the morning before we left for my parent’s house for Christmas, and the results were unmistakable. A (currently) healthy little boy will be making his appearance somewhere on or around May 19, 2010. I would post some pictures, but doubt I’ll get around to scanning/photographing and uploading them.

We were going to wait to find out the sex of the baby this time, but as the days to the ultrasound grew nearer, my resolve weakened. Michael didn’t mind, so I asked the vital question and I’m rather glad I did. It’s friendlier to think of this frequently moving little person as “my son” or “him” rather than, “him or her.” Plus, we only have to pick out a boy’s name, which will save us considerable effort.
