So today our best friends find out the sex of their baby. As we know, their are only two choices: boy or girl. They wanted a girl, but after witnessing how awesome Isaac is they now want a boy.
It was funny how they told us they were pregnant to begin with. The Mrs. had an inkling. So strong in fact that I got a call at work during which time she explored this hypothesis that turned out to be correct. We found out officially when Eric was up in Columbus. He got his Mrs. on the phone and together they gave us souvenirs from their recent trip to Europe. Before we got through the first gift, his eager Mrs. blurted out: "The other gift we're bringing back from Europe won't come until February."At that point there was a lot of screaming, crying and laughing and I don't remember much else other than being very excited.
Well today marks another point on their journey into parenthood. And a not insignificant one either. They're not convinced of the baby's sex one way or the other, though I secretly think they think it's a boy though because they want a boy they don't want to jinx it so are saying they're not sure either way. But I also know they couldn't be more excited about the monumental stop on this road of parenthood. And neither could we.
One request: if it's a boy, go ahead and name it Aaron. But if it's a girl: do not.
UPDATE: THEY ARE HAVING A BOY. STILL NO WORD ON WHETHER THEY WILL NAME HIM AFTER ME OR NOT. BUT I'M LEANING TOWARDS YES.

Let's see...two syllables, ending in "n".
Yep, Aaron's definitely a boy name for the early 21st century.
(So says the father of a boy named Simon.)
Tell Eric and Kendall that we are so happy for them and to think it is a Boy that is wonderful, to bad you folks don't live closer Isaac would have a playmate. Any ways tell them for us we are very happy and Our Love and Prayers are with them OOB
Tell Eric and Kendall congrats from the oldman and his lovely wife who is wathing the other two grandchildren. By the way, do you think Angus might be an option.
Thanks for all of the congratulations. Kendel and I couldn't be happier! As Aaron said, we were rooting for a boy and we got what we asked for! We also wish we were closer to Aaron and Jenny so that Isaac could have a playmate - who knows? maybe when I graduate we'll move to Ohio. It isn't out of the realm of possibility. The only thing I would be afraid of is that Aaron's competitive streak might get played out through his son and ours - he already told me that his son will be a better basketball, baseball, and football player than ours. He did give me soccer, though. Thanks. (all in jest of course)
In jest? I'm freaking serious. My kid's gonna be all-world at basketball, football and baseball. I was being polite about soccer, giving you that! And look at you already buying the kid (aka, Aaron) a soccer ball already!!!
