IT'S A BOY!!!
Malcolm Flynn Hancock. Ain't he cuuuuute? Oh yeah, this kids gonna be the cutest guy ever. I mean with parents like Sam and I, how could he be anything but?We found out today at about 10:30am. And within the first 5 seconds of the ultrasound we see BABY JUNK! Very much a boy. He was kicking and flailing his legs around. Lemme tell ya, that kid likes to move his feet! He was sucking on his left arm and had his right arm up around his neck, just relaxing.
As soon as Sam saw exactly what the baby was, he looked at me and said, "Malcolm" and got the biggest smile on his face I've ever seen. I think that actually knowing what the baby is and having a name for them already makes it a little more real for Sam.
The ultrasound took about and hour, and it was definitely a good way to spend an hour. I mean just look at this kid! He's absolutely handsome! His cute little nose, and you can't tell by this picture, but I think he's got Sam's chin that he had to grow into. Ha ha.One thing we were kind of worried about was if our baby would have the proper number of limbs and fingers/toes. Since my twin brother is missing his arm just below the elbow and my newest niece has a fully functioning extra toe (both birth defects) this really what was the ultra sound was about. As much as a girl would have been a nice change of pace for me, I'm honestly relieved he's a boy. I have LOADS more experience with boys. Seeing as how I have 7 nephews ranging from 10 to 2. Sam is just giddy. He really didn't care what the baby was as long as it was healthy. But, as you can see from pictures on Facebook, he has all his limbs and, so far as we can tell, proper number of digits too!
Sam first called his mom, who was at home, and she is very excited. Although I don't think she cares what the baby is, just that she's getting her first grandchild for Christmas! Then as a vast amount of texting went out to let everyone know, we also called my dad, Grandma McNab and Brenda, and of course Grammy. Oh Grammy. I love that woman. Here's the trick about Grammy, when you meet Sam you can tell right off the bat he's no ordinary guy and you may wonder why. Then you meet Kim, his dad, and then you say, well that makes sense. But where does Kim get his quirks? ...And then you meet Grammy, and everything makes sense. For example. Byron Ford has flirted with three generations of Hancock women... Grammy started it.
Today was just a really good day. We went to Sandwich Odyssey, which has the most amazing roast beef with au jus. Then we came home and washed our cars. And I accidentally sprayed myself in the butt when I dropped the hose. THAT WAS REALLY COLD! But felt really good too. So Mighty Mouse, the Blue Beetle, and the green van are all nice and clean!
We'll finish the day off with dinner with the Gardiners and The God's Must Be Crazy II. My media knowledge has gotten far more... strange... since meting Sam. I blame Kim. They're definitely good music/movies/operas/etc. but they're definitely on the strange side.
I really can't wait until December. I don't like being pregnant and I really want to see my son. ... That sounds weird. Ah well, I've got another few months to get used to the idea.
