Boy, oh boy, oh boy.........

That's right, ITS A BOY!!!!!!!!

Phil and I had a very successful trip to Oahu on Monday where we learned we have a healthy baby boy growing inside of me!
Neither of us had a real preference about the sex of the baby, but we were very excited to find out. Somehow I had a feeling it would be a boy. Not so much a recent feeling, but more of a long held, residual type of feeling that I would have boys.
My sister has a son, Kiernan (see pic), who is almost 4 months old now. He will soon have a cousin to play with (well, once we move a little closer) and I am excited they will be so close in age.
The whole experience in Oahu was a little strange and took us a couple of days to process. It wasn't that the trip was all that out of the ordinary (except for getting harassed by a crazy germaphobe in the Hilo airport parking lot) its just that it was highly anticipated and all over in about twenty minutes. We flew to Oahu, which is about a 50 minute flight, took the shuttle to the clinic, and were in and out of there in 25 minutes! The doctor that did the sonogram was a funny guy - trying to convince us that we didn't want to know the sex, telling us about the terror that his boys are, and that was about it!
Overall, everything went great - we are happy, and excited, and moving on the next big task - A NAME!!!

names names names...ahh what ba journey, and what a...responsibility. it is like you have few responsibilities right now in how you form your baby...1) all the prenatal psych stuff and then 2) the name. the name is what we carry with us forever...its so powerful. and says so much...ahhh enjoy the process...and then with my whole heavy posting here...
in the end, i think the name chooses the kid anyway. it just happens and it seems so right.
enjoy and CONGRATS and the boy factor...
