I had my ultrasound this morning, and our photogenic little baby left us in no doubt that we are having a boy! I will post pictures from the ultrasound as soon as Brian gets the chance to scan them in at work. We are so excited! Brian, in particular, is over the moon; though, before we went he assured me that he would like another girl just as much.
I can't believe that in five months, we are going to have a son! He is already so beautiful. Even the sonographer was commenting on what a nice nose he has; I think it looks like my husband's. But, my favorite comment was when she said, "He has such a beautiful heart!" Apparently the heart is usually difficult to view so nicely, but we got some wonderful footage on our complimentary DVD of our son's healthy (and, yes, beautiful) heart.
We do not have a name picked out, yet. Speaking of which, I have set up a new name poll. [name poll has been disabled; thanks for voting!] There are a few more boys' names than before, and I have (obviously) removed the girls' names. If you have a few seconds, please stop by and cast your vote. You can either click the link in this paragraph or follow from the icon at the top right of the page. You will only be able to vote once from any given computer. Vote either "yes" or "no" on each name (you don't have to pick just one name that you like).
We are elated, and just had to share the wonderful news with you all. We'll keep you abreast of any news as the pregnancy progresses. Gosh, I am one happy and blessed mama!

I think I mentioned this before on a different post, but I'm petitioning hard for Samuel.
Reason #1. Brian & Bethany Hudson. Then Sophia & Samuel Hudson. The symmetry is pleasing, no?
Reason #2: Most (if not all) of the names on the list scream royalty. If you're gonna give the boy such kingly (er, Kingsley) sounding mid/last name, I'm thinking it'd do to humble down the first name. Seriously, Edward Kingsley Hudson? You might as well tack on a Duke or Baron at the beginning, preemptively. :P
Reason #3: Maybe not the best reason, but I've never met a Sam I didn't like. It's versatile for adults (Sam), and awesome for kids (Sammy). Some names don't have that kind of flexibility. Names like "Greg" always sound old... names like "Sun" are just confusing and make for rough childhoods... ;) you get the idea.
K. I'm out of reasons.
Final story: I think I honestly believe in the power of names. I think the right name is priceless, because time and again, people live to try and fill their name out. I think my name was incredibly formative and guiding in my life. My mom tells me it was going to be either Sun or Ernie. I shudder to think what dark road I would have tread if my mom hadn't chosen the way she did. LOL.
Congratulations to you and your husband Bethany!
