IT'S A BOY!!!!

Ok, I am no longer a bad mother if I admit I really wanted a boy this time. Now I'm intuitive:) I felt a little guilty wanting a boy in case it was a girl. Today, however, it was confirmed. By confirmed, I mean the ultrasound tech pointed to something with a little arrow and said "see that sticking out there? It's a boy". My first thought was just pure joy, my second: this picture with an arrow pointing to his, umm thingy, may haunt him for the rest of his life.
Ironically, on the way to the drs. office we all but picked a girl's name. However, when it comes to boys' names the choices are: Jochobed (submitted by Christin), Zerrubabal and Jereboam (both Georges) and Mommy still needs to think on this for awhile and read some baby name books (I'm leaning towards that one!).

I've got to run. More info and some adorable ultrasound pics to come!

Congratulations! We're so happy for all of you! As far as names go, Uncle Bob thinks Robert DeVol has a nice ring to it! Love you, Sweetie!
Love,
Aunt Linda :-)

Much to Lou's chagrin, I vetoed Melchizedek so that's up for grabs if you want it. ;-)

Hmmm, Robert DeVol. Why does that sound good? Oh that's right, it's the name of an actor. Maybe I could name my next son Tommy Lee. Oh and I hardly know anyone with that name. I only have 2 uncles, one great uncle, and a cousin with that name.
Grant it he could go by Robert or Rob or Robby. Only two people I'm very close to had serious boyfriends named Rob.
Well, no need for the name game. Sounds like Uncle Bob came up with the perfect name:)
J/K LOVE YOU UNCLE BOB!

You could name him Evan James DeVol as a way of indirectly naming him after his Aunt Becca!

I've been thinking on this and you should totally name him Robert. Of course, he'd have the "same" name as a famous person, which is cool AND he'd also be named after about 150 different people you know, which would put you in ALL of their good graces. BUT the biggest bonus is, by simply changing Christin's name to Heather, you could totally copy the Lobes' life, which would be wickedly creepy! :-)

I would second Rebecca's vote of Evan because I love that name, but it's also the only boy's name Jamie and I both like. So if you use it and then we have sons, they may just be nameless. Either that or your son might have several male cousins all named Evan, too. It could get confusing.

When does the name game start? I guess you have to pick one first...
