Well, well, well. It certainly was a Thanksgiving to remember for the DDC, wasn't it? I caught some of the ruckus over on Facebook and see that we're now 20+ pages into a new thread. I'm not going to go back and figure out exactly what happened - I'm just going to sit here and assume that we can learn whatever lesson is available and move on from there. (But if something important happened in those 20 pages, just let me know)
And speaking of moving on, you might notice that my signature has been updated. We had the ultrasound on Wednesday and brought both kids along. Madison made it immediately known to the tech that she wanted to know the gender of the baby. But she had to sit though several agonizing minutes of the tech checking the placenta, taking measurements, etc. Finally, the tech called Madison over and whispered in her ear. Madison got a huge grin and walked back over to me, saying "I have a secret." I asked what the secret was, and she replied "I'm not telling."
She couldn't keep the secret long, however, and began jumping up and down in the ultrasound room yelling "IT'S A BOY! IT'S A BOY! IT'S A BOY!"
We wanted to use a name from somewhere in the Disney universe, but "Eric" and "Philip" where too common; "Walt" a little too old fashioned; and "Goofy" was, well, not approved by She Who Must Be Obeyed. So we picked Ryder - borrowed from Flynn Rider from Tangled. (His middle name is Ethan - a masculinized version of my mom's middle name - Ethelyn.)
Congratulations!!
