Trial Balloon

With family and friends spread around the continent (and the world), I thought that this (a web log or blog, if you prefer) might be a good way to keep everyone up to date about our impending arrival. Marcy does not know about this plan yet and might put the kibosh on the project when I tell her about my idea of posting labor and delivery pictures on the internet ... just kidding.

In case you were unaware, we have decided to name her Lily (hence the name of the blog) and we are still mulling over middle names.

Eventually, when she (and we are hoping the doctors are right about that, otherwise he will have a lot of little dresses to wear and will have an awfully feminine name, he will likely get picked on in school and grow up to loathe his parents for raising him as a girl) stops hiding out in Marcy's tummy we will have better (color) pictures of her and maybe even video to post. For now, we have only ultrasound pictures that are about three and half months old; I have posted one of those for everyone who has not seen it. If you have seen it before, I am sorry but it is the best that we got.

So, four weeks +/- a few days and counting ... stay tuned, things will surely get more interesting if all the stuff we have been reading is true.
