Baby Z is a He

We had our 20 week ultrasound this afternoon and found out that McKenzie is getting a little brother! As we entered the room, the ultrasound tech asked us if we wanted to know and of course we said yes. So she started the ultrasound, showed us the heart, moved the picture around and then asked nonchalantly if we thought we knew what it was. I looked at the ultrasound and clearly could see it was a boy so I said 'a boy'. Matt hadn't picked up what we were looking at yet and said he didn't know, thinking she was asking us if we had any guesses. Then she said it really is a boy! We are really happy with the opportunity to have a girl and a boy so this is fantastic news.

Now we need to come up with a good name. Last time we went into the ultrasound knowing we'd name the baby McKenzie if it was a girl but we had no boy name. This time around we also had a girl name picked out but still no boy name. We'll work on it and then maybe we'll play the name game again. With McKenzie we didn't tell the name but gave out clues to family and friends to see who could guess her name. We got some really interesting guesses on that one. I made a scrapbook page before she was born about her name and the name game guesses. I'll have to take a picture of it and post that.

Maybe I'll have to change my poll on this blog to be a name suggestion poll. We had a few last minute votes last night or today so the final tally on boy vs girl predictions was 8 boy votes / 2 girl votes. I think someone voted girl at the last minute just to say they were right since no one else had voted girl.

Speaking of McKenzie's name, I have relatives who live in Victoria, BC where there is an street named McKenzie that Esther's (check out her blog in my links) daughter Karyn lives on. There are lots of signs around that say McKenzie. So I asked Esther to take some picture of the signs for me to use in McKenzie's scrapbook. Here are some of the great McKenzie signs that Esther captured.
