[shesherm]

Hanna, YIPEE that is great :O)  about time we get some boys to go with all the girls
I had hoped for a boy 1st (a big brother to look out for his sister)...but happy as HE!! about a girl

Perty....DH and I love that commercial I was just talkin about it today.  Those boys are adorable

[evie23]

I've never had a boy either congratulations wonderful news

[stephie4]

did you name him yet?????  how exciting!   :)

congrats mommy!!!

[kahlian]

congrats!! do you have a name picked out????

[mlb1234]

Congrats on the boy!!  Boys are so much fun - I just love my 4 nephews!!!  I love that commercial too!!!  Excellent news!!

[Tanker Chic]

The only names I had picked out were girl names, so I'm taking all suggestions!!  The only absolute is no names that start with a "D"... dh has a hang up about it.. Our last name starts with a d and he doesn't want a "DD"...  So I said, "okay, whatever"  :)

I bought a dry erase board to keep a list of names we like.... I figure the more we see/hear the name, we will either like it more or decide we don't like it at all...  It's a theory.. I'm full of them :)

Thanks for all the kind and supportive words..  My baby has an identity.. It is a "HE"  YAY!!  this is sooooooo great!!

[dainsey]

[chiromom]

Congrats!  We have a boy - Matthew Connor (my maiden name is O'Connor).  He is the most precious thing in the world.  What wonderful news!

[kissindawind]

Hey Tanker are you looking for a specific letter in the start of the name. Like my sons name is Joshua so if I were to have another child I probably would what he/she name to start with a J, just want to know to help with some more names...

Anna

[Tanker Chic]

Nope,.. the only limit is no names that start with D.  

Thanks for all your help!!

[pcarsey]

Our Girl names are Zaria Rayne and/or Karma Jade and boy names are Brayden Levi or Dakota Levi.. I love the middle name Levi.. can ya tell..lol

[dsmommy]

AWWWWWWWWWWW..................CONGRATS!!!  Boys are awesome!  Since you never had brothers you'll worry you won't know what to do w/ a boy, but once he's here you won't want it any other way!  So happy for ya!

[joyfulmom]

Congrats to you!!!!  I have a son named Jordan (he's 15).  But it is harder finder a boy name than a girl name!  I also like Riley, Peyton, Andrew, Bryce.  And I LOVE the little OshKosh overalls on little boys!

[Zoe2B]

How awesome! A beautifull baby boy. YAYYYYYYYY! Congrats to you both! To all three of you!

CONGRATS TANKER CHIC!!!! That is really awesome!!! We don't know yet, but my husband is hoping for a boy. Our girl name is Miranda (after my mom). Our boy names are (I'm Italian):

Enzo (Italian)
Michael (my DH's middle and his dad's name)
Alessio (Italian)
Alex

All the best!
ATL Girl

[Tanker Chic]

I'm half Italian and dh is half Chilean... I like Enzo a lot.. I might have to run that by dh and put it on the board.  After last night Eli (for Elijah or Elias (latin version)) is the front runner...

Are you going to find out or wait it out?  

I just love the name Miranda.. :)

[dainsey]

Question for you...I did the NT test and the results came out great (1 in 1500 risk of downs) and I know you had great results also....What other testing are you doing?  Isn't there some blood test or another ultrasound around 18-20 weeks?  I don't see my OB until next week but was just wondering.  I'm 15 weeks so I'm 3 behind you :-)

[Atlanta Girl]

I'm dying to know the sex! We may go with Michael if it's a boy. Then I need to have a girl though, because I want my Miranda!
My dh loves the name Enzo but I have a first cousin whose name is Enzo and all I can think when I say it, it's him! You know, Enzo is the name of the founder of Ferrari. Patricia Arquette named his son Enzo. BTW, I'm the second of 4 daughters so a boy will be huge for me! We'll see...

Dainsey I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I'm 14 weeks and got good results with the NT (1:3800 DS, 1:6700 Trisomy) and I have the next appointement with my OB in about 2 weeks for the AFP. I know the AFP is not even that good of a test for DS... I think I read they can perform the amnio up to 20 weeks. I have the anatomy u/s scheduled for the beginning of my 18 weeks. There are some markers for DS that they can check. Anyway... I'm also wondering, what is your experience Tanker?

Thanks!
ATL Girl

Congrats on your little boy!!  I haven't logged on in a couple of days, so I wanted to wish you well and tell you congrats!!

Congratulations on your little man - hopefully we will find out tomorrow what flavor bun is in our oven - I'm hoping for blueberry - lol
