The Baby is a...Don't Read this Post if You Don't Appreciate a Good Spoiler

Katharine and I went the other day to find out the sex of our baby that is due sometime around June. Neither one of us really cared whether we would have a son or a daughter...I think we each had reasons for wanting a boy and an equal number of reasons for wanting a girl. So we poked and prodded at the baby until he revealed his gender to...oh...I just gave it away, didn't I? :-P

It's true...we're having a baby boy. We're going to have a son. It took a little while to get the answer. I think he was hiding on purpose...he must get his stubborn streak from his grandfather and great-grandfather. It certainly is not from me. He even apparently yelled at us to stop looking through his window at him.

Or maybe he's just yawning.

For me, there's all kinds of weirdness now in knowing what my child is going to be. I never thought I'd be planning a future for my son...especially not before he was born...and that's what I've been doing since Wednesday. We've started planning out a nursery, and buying books, and thinking about what baby's first comic book is going to be...and which sports/activities he might participate in. Yeah, it is all a little premature, I know, but it's kind of fun and it'll make things easier later.
