Hi kiddo! We went to the doctor today. Your heartbeat was good and you were moving all around. The ultrasound tech said that you were measuring a little bit bigger than we thought - almost a week older! Every week gets us closer to a 2009 delivery and a tax write off :)
Well, kiddo, you threw me a curve ball today. Your dad saw it and the ultrasound tech she is 85% sure that you are a little boy. What? I have been calling you "she" or "her". I even did a pink scrapbook page for you with some of the blog postings!! I honestly don't care what gender you are - just stay in there cooking until you are full term and you can be a little boy or a little girl.
While we didn't have any boy names picked out, your dad and I settled on that one pretty quick. I think you will still be a kiddo to me until our next ultrasound but when we see you a bit bigger and definitely a boy, we will name you Alexander Lang Brigham. We can't agree on any other name. Your dad vetoed Nate, Micah and Drake. I liked Noah but it is too popular. Your dad's only contribution to the pot was Sebastian which I vetoed in each of our pregnancies. Xander was the only name we could agree on. We named one of your brothers Xander so we didn't want to name you that. But, Alexander seems different to us so we figure we are all good. Surprisingly, your dad didn't even fight on using my maiden as your middle name.
1 week from today, it is time for surgery and then we will see you again on August 6th. Tomorrow is your mom and dad's anniversary. I will share some scrapbook pages that I did for your brothers so you can learn about how we met and our relationship.
