The L.A. Dime

It’s hard to believe that our little one’s been in the oven for four months, now. We went to see our fabulous OB, Dr. Morse, for a check up today (see the video below!). Tina’s doing a fantastic job as a mommy, and all signs point to perfect health for she and the bump. It has been decided (by Mommy) that the sex of our child will not be revealed to us until the moment of his/her birth. Let me go on record as saying that I want to know now. If we knew, we could start calling the bump by his/her name, I would no longer have to type or say “his/her” all the time, we could get adjusted to the idea of raising a boy/girl, and in general, the nameless little bump would feel more like part of the family. Tina feels that discovering the sex of a child is one of life’s greatest surprises, and she feels it gives her something to look forward to as she fights through labor. As I will not be the one doing the pushing, hers is obviously a decision I must abide by. Looks like lots of green and yellow baby clothes, huh?

There are a couple of things we do know at this point. Our nursery will be decorated with a safari theme, and if the bump turns out to be a girl, her name will be Sophia, and if a boy, his first name will be Richard in honor of my Dad. We intend to call a boy by his middle name, though, but that moniker has yet to be determined, as has a middle name for Sophia. I’m going to try to persuade my glowing bride to allow me to conduct an online poll right here on the blog after we narrow down our final choices, but I have serious doubts as to whether that will fly.

Next doctor visit is in three weeks. Watch the video below!
