Drum roll please........

After the last post, you could have probably guessed the baby's gender. I cried on Thursday when we found out the baby was a boy because we had decided long before we started trying to name the baby after Ryan's dad if we had a boy. Well guess what.......




Can you believe it? I knew it all along. Everyone else told me that the baby would be a girl and I just knew that when they told us our due date was May, it was a boy. Ryan's dad had a birthday in May. Our baby's name is going to be Philip Benjamin. Benjamin is my dad's name, so what greater honor could our baby have then to be named after both it's grandpa's. I am over the moon excited about our little boy. For a split second, when I saw the penis, I thought "Oh I wish it were a girl." Isn't that terrible? How cruel of me to wish that! I'm human and it was just a split second thought and I'm so glad to have Philip growing inside of me. Wow it is wierd to associate a name with the baby. That is why I said that Ryan's dad is with us everywhere we go and I just love the little reminders of him that we get. What a blessing to have had Phil in our lives. That is why I said my buglet would know his grandpa, he has a constant reminder, and we have a miracle.

Merry Christmas everyone, from my family to yours.
