Immediately Matt and I began casting our votes for names for both boys and girls. More for the fun of it because obviously there is one baby (yes, only one...whew!) and that means a boy OR girl. Our lists actually evened themselves out as we mulled it over, no biases emerged. Each time we chatted about "preference" we both could only reply that it really didn't matter - in all honesty, it really didn't!
Slowly however, we began to use "he" "him" etc. to talk about the kiddo because no one's child should be an "it", am I right? Then we did all the old wives tales; The ring on a string? Boy. The Chinese Fertility calendar? Boy. You only crave meat and salt? It's a boy. The always popular how-are-you-carrying-your-baby-weight? Boy! And finally, we asked everyone we know to just weigh in - all signs pointed toward BOY.
Well folks, the verdict is in!
It's a good thing Matt knows how to play princesses so well.
I hope I can pick that skill up in the next five months.

Girls are awesome! When I was pregnant with my first, a girl, my bishop at the time, whose first child was a girl, said that it is a nice way to set the tone in the family.
I can't believe how many commas I used in the comment.
