My Three Sons

Number three is a boy. I'm excited, I love the idea of a house full of boys. Andy's mourning a little, but he'll pull through. He was a mover on the ultrasound and I've already fallen head-over-heels in love with him. It was wierd, I had no preferences or feelings one way or the other whether this baby was a boy or girl. Until the night before the ultrasound. I couldn't sleep. I just had this powerful feeling this baby had to be Phineas and I was going to be extremely disappointed if it wasn't. I felt guilty, knowing how much Andy would like a baby girl, but I just couldn't get over the feeling this baby had to be Phineas. So there you have it. Phineas Cobb Perkins. Cobb is Andy's mom's maiden name. Andy was close to his maternal grandparents and maternal great-aunt and uncle. This way we get to honor not just his mom, but those others who have meant so much to him as well.

Now, if this posts, I'll post a long response to Noneya I haven't been able to get up for a while now. We're having trouble from home for some reason. We'll see.
