Thor

A few weeks ago we had our 20 week check up for baby #2.  With our last pregnancy we could only think of girl names so we were relieved when we found out that Alethia is a girl.  Otherwise we might have a very confused “boy named Sue” situation on our hands.  Well this time around we can only think of boy names.  For some odd reason all those girl names fell out of our heads and all that we can think of are boy names.  So we had a hunch going in for the ultra sound a few weeks ago that we were about to find out we’re having a boy.  I imagined what it’d be like to have a boy as I sat next to Kristi.  Looking at the ultrasound monitor, daydreaming as I often do (about nothing really) I found myself get jolted back into reality as I wondered…”what if it’s a boy??”  I imagined myself leaping to my feet at the news running up and down the halls of the hospital yelling “ITS A BOY” with the front of my t-shirt pulled over my head as if I just scored a goal to win the World Cup (soccer).

<Back to reality>

While Kristi laid on the bed and I held her hand, we saw (very clearly) that we’re having a baby boy!  I let out a glottal grunt/yelp for joy.  I don’t know how but instinctually I knew it was going to be a boy.  I guess I had a 50/50 shot. 

When Alethia was in the womb we nicknamed her Shaniqua Trixiefaye Lee.  Within minutes of leaving the hospital we nicknamed our boy Thor Bartholomew Cosmopolis Lee.   And thus he shall be called hence forth until he is born and we announce his real name.  : D
