It's a..... BOY!

Emily had her "important" ultrasound on Valentine's Day and found out she will be having a boy - The pictures were very clear!!  Although he did not want to cooperate and give us a good side profile view as he had at 14 weeks, he did cooperate with the gender shot!


We are very excited!  She and Tommy were hoping for a boy, and he will be the first grandson on Tommy's side of the family.  I am relieved to see everything is progressing normally and on schedule, and he looks wonderful!  Her due date is still July 4th!  I was really hoping to be able to post some ultrasound pics, but for some reason, they gave us a CD instead of the paper pics.  I can't figure out how to put them in jpeg format so they will save to iPhoto.  I'm afraid if I "save as", I will lose them completely!


Now the fun begins... planning!  Now we get to go register her at Babies R Us and Target.  There is even a cute little consignment store nearby that has a registry!  I have already been asked to make him a Pooh blanket (or 2) which of course I can't wait to get started on!


We all know the father decides the gender and that there is no way to tell until the ultrasound (or birth if you want to wait), but it is always fun to "predict".  There is some chinese gender chart that claims 93% accuracy that they said predicted a boy.  They also said "If the Giants win the playoffs, it will be a boy", and then "if the Giants win the Super Bowl, it will be a boy".  Well we know how the games turned out and... It's a BOY!  No correlation of course!!


They have been thinking about names for a while now, and they have decided his name will be Eli Alexander Brown.  They were joking about putting Eli in his name (for their favorite quarterback), and it stuck!  I think it is a good strong name!  Only 20 more weeks until we meet our grandson!
