It's a boy!!!
As everyone who reads this blog probably knows by now, we had a boy! 7 pounds 9 ounces, 20.5 inches long (both a bit larger than Margaret) with (surprise, surprise) blonde hair and blue eyes. The nurses and doctors all seem to think that he has really blonde hair, but it's not nearly as light as Margaret's was. A first in what will certainly be a long line of things at which he cannot best his sister. Oh yeah, his name is Theodore Peter. We haven't decided if he'll go by Theodore or if we'll shorten it to Ted or Teddy. Some votes have also been cast for Theo, but that reminds me too much of the Cosby Show. One nice thing about Margaret was the plethora of nicknames that went along with it, but she has stubbornly remained Margaret, with an occasional use of Maggie. So we'll see what ends up as Theodore's main moniker. The whole experience has been very different from the first time around. I'll post more on this later along with some details about the birth, but the key difference is a much lower level of adrenaline leading to less general jitteriness. At least on my part. But you're not here to read about my deep insights into our second child. You're hoping for some pics! And here they are:
