Just a little thread to keep the people interested informed about the SON baby. :-) I'm 13 weeks along and due on April 8th. I had the new genetic testing (MaterniT21) done because I'm over 35. It's just a simple blood draw, that's less invasive than an amnio. Luckily, is well on that front.

You can also find out the gender of the baby with this new test. I'm having a boy. I'm a little nervous about that, since I guess being a woman I just feel like I have more of a sense of how to parent a girl, but I guess I'll figure it out.

Thanks to the people who've asked about how I'm feeling and who have wished us well. I really appreciate it. I'm feeling pretty good now that I'm out of the first trimester. Still a little tired, but I was lucky and didn't have terrible morning sickness. Mostly what I'm hoping for is things to stay uneventful for the next six months.

If anyone has name ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Right now, Elijah is in the running.

Nate is a nice nickname if he wants one. Let's hope he's creative, like Nathaniel Hawthorne of Scarlet Letter fame. We already know he's strong, and adorable. Enjoy him every day,my dear... Even when he's crying

I'll defintely be hoping he's creative. His father is a pretty good pianist, so we are going to start him on lessons pretty early.

Happy to hear the baby suffered no ill effects from his dramatic arrival. Little boys are so much fun. I wish my two were still smaller. (Maybe not in diapers, but young enough to still enjoy hugs from their mama). Treasure these days. There is absolutely nothing in life more joyous.

Thanks Becki. I'm trying to hold on to every second.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY JULIAJMS ;'-)))) HOW'S SONATE DOING??

Thanks AllMyDays. Nate is doing well. He's gaining weight and is a really happy and easy baby.

I'm afraid not, but he has seen some of the recent stuff. I miss Soapnet that's for sure.

Thanks for gushing over him everyone. He's a healthy boy so far, which is a huge relief.
