It's a boy! (We think.)

We went to the second trimester ultrasound yesterday, where we found out that our baby is healthy and growing at an expected rate, and also (maybe) a boy. Big news! The doctor said he couldn't guarantee anything at this stage, since the baby was most uncooperative about giving us a good view (or holding still), but he thought he caught a glimpse of "boy parts". Since I come from a family of girls -- me and my sister, both of my cousins, etc -- and because all of my friends with babies have little girls, it will be pretty different to have a baby boy toddling around. I think my dad is excited, though.....

We've got a list of names going (both for boys and girls, actually) but we were joking that we should tell everyone that the baby's name is going to be Barack.
