yesterday we went to the doctor for the first true sonogram of our second child. this was the one where we got to figure out what what we are having. i could tell you now, but i am going to make you wait.
we had kinda been subconsciously putting this appointment off for a while; i think there is still a bit of residual fear from last pregnancy that we were going to go and hear something we were not expecting, something about a third limb or an extra nipple. on the contrary, every bit of news we got yesterday was fantastically boring, right down to the fact that the baby is due exactly when the doctor has told us, most likely around the 27th of december. the stage will be have to be shared with another famous december birthday that happens on the 25th, but on the other hand it will be in time to catch a tax break so we will just buy the kid nice gifts (for at least the first year).
we both went into the appointment thinking we were going to have a girl: me b/c i felt like i had some sort of intuition, annie b/c she was afraid to be selfish and think we were going to have what she really wanted: a boy. we were both wrong. we are having another boy.
his name will be ryder jedidiah. "jedidiah" means loved by God. "ryder" means one who rides: skateboards, surfboards, horses, bulls, roller coaters, bandwagons, whatever. it is a great thing that he is a boy, b/c as has been mentioned many times before, his older brother is a bruiser and will now have somebody to scrap with. we would love to have a girl at some point, even next, but for now the gender ratio in the montgomery household is becoming even more lopsided...and we couldn't be happier.
