After the comic was done today, we had to rush off for an appointment with the sonographer. The short and simple of it is that it's a boy. Please hold your congratulations, we went through all that when the baby was first announced. Where I appreciate your intentions, we already know how you feel. To answer some of the other innevitable questions:

No, there will not be a lot of sonograph pictures posted showing the kids doodle. He's entitled to his privacy.

No, we have not picked a name yet. Suggestions of "Ted" have already been dismissed. Real life and the comic has to have a points of disconnect. This is one of them. (Name suggestions will be deleted.)

Yes, we will eventually have a baby registry and will probably have a virtual baby shower. To include all of those who are interested. No, we haven't set a date for that yet.

Finally... please don't offer unsolicited pregnancy advice. We're pretty smart, educated people. There's very little that could be suggested that we or our immediate families do not know or have not already discussed. (Unsolicited advice will be deleted.)

Thanks again for hopes, wishes, and initial kind words. I promise to keep you all updated.

Thanks, Woody, for the update.

He's a good lookin' lad, too.

Oooh.. he's gonna be a loud one.

Did the two of you feel different after the sonograph?

Not really no.

I am happier, but after every appointment when I get to hear the heartbeat or just get to talk about the baby, I feel that way.. So different... No.

Happy, yes!

So has he started the whole kicking thing yet?

Oh yeah. We're raising a NFL kicker or a soccer star or something.

LoL I guess the word different wasn't the best one to use. To me it was like more real and definitely I was happier.
