And We're Having...

Actually, I can't tell you yet. The FP Gal has decided on a bit of privacy or something like that. In any case, when we got the ultrasound a few weeks back we asked them to write down the big answer and put it into an envelope for us. We planned on opening it tonight and (after a marathon putting to bed session) we have done so. With any luck we can share it soon.
I can tell you that we're both happy but we would've been either way so that doesn't answer much.

Some stories on a related subject while you wait? My cousin Andrea had two boys in quick succession. When the boys were a few years older (3 and 4?) she was pregnant again. She decided that it would best to find out the gender so she could prepare them. Found out she was having a girl.
The boys were horrified. A little sister is not what they wanted. After a few days of being upset they cheered up and came to talk to her. They told her that they decided to pray to God and ask for a change to a little brother instead. She told them it was unlikely.
Then they tried to be helpful by coming up with a name. After some discussion they decided on 'Zorro'. Andrea told them that, while a fine name, 'Zorro' wasn't really a girl's name. They put their heads together and found a solution. Their new sister should be named 'Zorro-Lynn'.

Update: And the FP Gal changed her mind. I can tell you that we're having a boy.
