We're having a boy!

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
(Psalm 127:3 NIV)

When I called my Grandma (that is, my mother's mother) back in March to tell her that Abby and I are having a baby, she asked, "Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?" Well, I tried to do the good thing and respond that I have no preference as long as the baby's healthy, but as I tried to get the words out of my mouth I realized how unconvincing I sounded, so I finally blurted out, "I want a son!" Subsequent to that conversation, as Abby and I talked about preparing for the baby, I realized that I really would be equally happy if the baby were a girl... but yesterday the ultrasound confirmed that we are having a baby boy!

We plan to name our son Christian Amadeus Lindsey.
"Christian" means "Christ-like" and "Amadeus" means "loved by God." These names reflect our hopes and prayers for our child.
"Lindsey" (which we have little control over) is, as far as I can tell, some Old English geographic reference concerning the place where my family was known to live at some point in the forgotten past.
