Morse code kicks from Dave: "Mom, this is your son. Send more potatoes." While Facebook has been our baby-update media of choice, I thought I would post an announcement on our family blog as well: we're having a boy!
Everybody, meet David. This image was taken about five weeks ago (16 weeks). As you can see, we caught him mid kata, poised for a front snap kick. (Remember those, Matt? Not from the womb, but from your Dan Verdugo karate days?)
I'm sorry to say that, at this point, this poor child is still without a middle name, but we've discussed some good contenders. I think we should just go with Bronwyn and Jeremy's suggestion (when they were deciding on their first child's middle name) and choose an ASL sign: first name, (super meaningful hand motion), last name.
On a more decisive note, we have registered for baby things! Armed with two books and a scan gun, we inched our way through Babies R Us, scanning items for David's sleeping, bathing, feeding, traveling and playing wants/needs. In terms of the nursery, we're going nautical:
And of course we can't forget about all of the treasures that can be found on eBay and Craigslist:
It's been so fun figuring our how to prepare our nest for this little man! I could write a completely separate, and epic entry about trying to prepare for parenthood, but for now I'll leave you with potential paint colors instead. Those are much easier to sum up in a photo:
