It’s a…Blog Post…

January 15, 2013 By Jenna 49 Comments

We did the big gender reveal thing today.

Oh. You want to know too?

Ok.

Remember this commercial? Totally doing this after the birth:

Yes, sir. I have a little dude in there. We are so happy. Me because I would be happy with anything; Mike because he is already fantasizing about all of the cool toys he gets to play with. Now we are working on names. We haven’t the slightest. What did you name your son(s)? Tell me please. I’d love to steal it.

And, just for good measure, here is our guy. I’ll spare you the details. He’s got all the right parts.

ingredients: snakes, snails, puppy dog tails

    Congratulations:) Boys are awesome, I have six;) and five brothers, and 6 b-i-ls.
    Not sure of your tastes in names, we like more unusual Catholic names, so my boys are: Dominic, Xavier, Malachi, Saxon, Ignatius and Sebastian. Middle names are more evergreeen (mostly) Francis, Michael, Joseph, Patrick, James and Vianney.

      Thanks! And, I might have to hit you up for boy advice with all of that testosterone around :) It’s funny you say that too. We are pretty much the same in that. We like lesser used, strong names, and for middle names, we like to chose a family member :)

    I love Bible names or family names. I never went with popular names but stayed away from odd names. My sons: Frank Joseph, Timothy Daniel and Alexander Brian. Parker is a good name too! My maiden name is Frank. Have fun and God bless!

    Yea! So happy for you both! Obviously…no boy…but I love the names Thadius and Mathius. David is not a fan of either. It might break ss rule, but I thunk Thad is a very different nickname. Good luck!

    A boy! Huge congrats!

    Our sweet boy is ten months old and his name is Callum.

    He was very almost Finnlay.

    Or Jude.

    Or Jack.

    Mostly he is ‘little man’ or bubba, Cal or Cally.

    And we loooove him to bits!

    I have 4 boys: Joshua, Jordan, Joel and Jameson. And yes, all “J” names. All the men in my husband’s family have the same initials: JMC. That’s what I had to work with. Sigh.
