A bouncing baby BOY

We went for our 19 week ultrasound last week and found out that we are expecting a baby boy in March. His scans show that he is very healthy and active. We couldn't be more excited about having a boy. I was convinced that I was having a girl but being wrong is okay by me. We haven't formally decided on a name but it will either be James Nathaniel or Nathaniel James. We aren't sure what order we like best. If we use Nathaniel as his first name we are going to call him Nathaniel. I don't see Josh or I calling him Nate. It doesn't feel natural at all. Most everyone has expressed their opinions on this topic and most are not a fan of the name James. I have to say that I actually really love the name James. It is a strong and normal name. It is not like the top 10 names that are likely to fade in a few years, and I think the world has enough Aidens and Haydens and Jacobs. James was Jesus' brother. What could be better than that right?!? And he's my kid right? So I can call him whatever I want. I could name him something crazy like celebrities do, Moonblood?, and it wouldn't matter because he is MINE! Both names come from Josh's grandfathers. They have both gone to be with Jesus and we thought it was appropriate to bring both the Pratt and Sizemore sides of the family together in one name. We are the only option to carry on the Sizemore name so I guess it is a good thing we are having a boy. Here are some of the other ultrasound scans. Sorry about the quality of these. My scanner is broken.


Boy parts.


A foot, I'm pretty sure this means he is a Tar Heel fan. =)
Looking straight at us. You can see eyes, nose, mouth, chin and belly. There is also an arm up above his head because he really didn't like the wand pushing on him. He kept trying to push it away.

Another of him looking at us. Looks more like Skeletor in this picture.
