What's Cookin' In There?

BOY OR GIRL ????

So today is a very exciting day for us because we are going to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. We don't go until later in the afternoon so I may not post anything until Monday. Sorry I am not much of a blogger on the weekends.

Of course the first question on everyone's mind is, "what are you hoping for?" Well, I have always thought I would love to have boys. I was tomboy all growing up and so being with boys is easy for me. But then I was noticing how incredibly active and busy my nephew Zachary is and I starting thinking it might be fun to have a girl. So now I don't care. I will be excited either way.

The second question I get is "do you have any names you like?" For those of you who do not know my husband is Italian. He comes from deep Italian roots with strong traditions. One of the important traditions that has been passed down for years is that the 1st son in the family names his first son after his father. So my husband was named after his grandfather. Therefor if we have a boy his name will be Salvatore but he will go by "Sam." At first I was really bothered by the fact that I had no choice. But now it does not bother me at all and I feel proud to be carrying on the tradition. So if we have a boy he will be named Sam and if it is a girl I have no idea. I am not much of a dreamer so I don't really have any names that stick out to me. Plus, I just figure if we find out we are having a boy then we won't need to think of girl names so why waste the time.
