We went to our big anatomy scan on thursday, and were given the EPIC news that we've got TARDIS blue in our future! Our little guy was a squirmy thing and gave the poor tech a difficult time getting the measurements that she needed. We eventually got everything-- we're still going to be going back in 5ish weeks to check heart and spine, because of my genetic problems.
The only shot he readily gave us was the one of his goods. The scene went like this:
Tech: -putting gel onto my stomach- So, do you know what you're having and do you want to know if you don't?
Us: Yes, yes. We want to know.
Tech: Okay. It might take a little bit to find out, sometimes the baby can be facing the wrong way or not cooperating. Just to forewarn and all.
Me: Okay. (I was prepared for this, since he slept through his first u/s)
Tech: -touches the wand down and immediately gets a splayed-legged picture of our son, junk to the monitor- Wow, um, it's a boy!
Robby: OhmygoshitsaboyImadeaboy
Me: -wide eyed- THAT'S a penis. Wow. Holy... wow, yeah. He's a boy.
Tech: -laughing- He's got really big 'stuff', too.
Me: Haha, honey, he takes after you!
And that was the story of how we found out that we're having a son.
We've already settled on a name (sort of). It may change later, and if we find one that feels like it fits better it may change. But for now, his name is Elijah. I've already been delighting in calling him Eli. <3 We're bouncing around on middle names, but the leader now is Liam. We're also considering Storm, since we've called him Stormageddon for so long.
I like Elijah Storm, could just be I have a bias to elementalish middle names...mine being sunshine and all l, but I really like the way it sounds.
