dan and i had a nice time on our date the other night. we went out to eat and sat at a table for two, not four! that was nice. after eating we drove around a few neighborhoods we are looking at houses in. then to top the night off, we dropped by kroger to pick up a few things. sounds boring, but it was so nice without kids!
i'm still semi-sick. my ears have popped, but no all the way. but it is nice to have some hearing back! dan thought he dodged the bullet, but he woke up this morning with his ears all messed up. i hope his ailment does not last as long as mine has!
generally, i'm not real superstitious. the most i go into all that is to pick a penny up and hope for good luck that day. but when it comes to pregnancy myths (old wives tales) for some reason i'm totally into that. for the most part all of the ones i think i've experienced have been true. well, not all - i had terrible indigestion with emily and ethan but neither one of them were born with tons of hair.
anyway, all that to say (as i shout) I'M HAVING A BOY!!! i would have bet the farm on having another girl. i'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and still struggling with vomiting and nausea! i've always heard girls make their moms sick because of the extra hormones. i was sick with emily for several months and not sick with ethan so i was so sure i was having a girl!! when the tech asked us if we wanted to know we said sure - thinking we already knew and she would just confirm it for us. well she just pointed to it and i was like - oh my it's a boy - and there is no denying it! well the shock has not worn off, but it will. we are excited either way, but emily on the other hand is crushed. we sat them down (like ethan knew what was going on..) and told them we went to the doctor and we found out mommy was carrying a baby brother. emily quickly said "SISTER"!!! she's not happy. even a day later i tried to pump it up and get her excited about another brother, but no luck. i guess she'll warm up to it. now i guess i can sell/give away her clothes. for a couple of years i had a serious gymboree addiction - nearly all her clothes from newborn to 3t are gymboree...what a sucker i am/was!!
we'll probably have one of his names be christopher. hopefully we can find another "e" first name, but i doubt it. i really like emory or eric but of course dan does not - so i guess we'll just discuss it for the rest of the pregnancy and see who the victor is!
also, he was a very photogenic baby - we got lots of good pictures, so i posted a couple!!

okay, so the pictures are not there. anyone else having problems posting pics???
Congrats!!! I had all the symptoms of a girl and it was a boy! I was really surprised!! Try loading the picture again...blogspot was slow earlier.
That is so great!! I had a feeling that if it was a boy the name Christopher would be involved. I'm so happy for you and Dan!! Let me know what you need so I can send you something!
Congrats! Ethan will love having a little brother! Emily will become the princess!
Hannah wants a brother..oh well.
I was paranoid in my last trimester that I was going to have a boy eventhough the ultrasound showed otherwise. People say you are supposed to gain more weight all over with a girl so every time someone in public guessed the sex of the baby they'd guess it was a boy! I wasn't fully convinced I was having a girl until my 32 week ultrasound.
Congrats! I always heard you are sicker with a boy - I was with my Christopher than I was with the 2 girls. Anyway, good luck on the names. Back in the dark ages we didn't know the sex until it popped out, fortunately we had only girls names picked out for the girls, then when Chris came along all we had agreed on was a boy's name - just lucky I guess. How about Edgar - (it could grow on you:)) Seriously, I do like Evan.
Eric is a good name (but chances are he will end up being a hottie with that name and well, we can't have all the girls knocking down your door...although i bet emily could take 'em). Evan is a good one too. Edgar, Ed, Elliot (of ET fame), Enoch (but he may be walking with God one day and then be no more...), Earl, Ezekiel (little Zeke), Elijah, Elvis, Ernest(he may go to camp one day), and i could go on but i'm pretty sure you'd rather i stop. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
