Boy

Despite my prediction and the father-to-be's prediction, ultrasound says that the new addition to the clan (my sister's baby) is going to be a boy! (And apparently he has all the parts he's supposed to have and none that he's not supposed to have.) The fact that it's a boy is good news for at least two reasons:

First, Nora and her hubby were not having much luck agreeing on girl names. (The Brits apparently have different ideas about appropriate names for girls!) They think they'll have better luck with boy names. JaMarcus has already been suggested and rejected, though. Sorry, LSU fans. (But look at it this way -- with his genes, Baby Boy is more likely to be quarterback of the math team than the football team.)

And second, it's easier to find baby boy clothes that have cute puppies on them. (This was one of the first thoughts that Nora and I both had, a testament to the dog-craziness of our family.) Ebay, here I come!
