I’m an Uncle!

We found out today! I’d have bet the farm it was going to be a girl. Kristin was sure it was going to be a boy. I was guessing girl (I just had this persistent intuition … plus, I wanted to buy dresses and unicorns and stuff for my very own niece). And then, Steve called from the doctors office and said “He’s a boy!” So I guess I’m going to be an uncle instead of an aunt.

I can’t imagine how people could stand to wait a whole 9 months before knowing something as monumental as whether the arrival of their baby merits the pink and purple play pen or the big, blue barnyard blanky. What a blessing to be able to know ahead of time and have 4 months to hash out the finer details. And now, we finally know your name, little guy. Our little Josiah Stephen! We can’t wait till you join us! … And I promise, I won’t buy you anything pink and frilly.
