We went to an ultrasound on Thursday to find out the sex of the baby (or that’s why I went, and to see that all was well and healthy), and it was a boy!

Stephanie and I had an arrangement, she would name the girl, and I would name the boy.  So he will be named Titus Nathaniel.  Two strong, great Biblical names that together mean (appropriately) Giant Gift of God!

Titus means Giant in the Greek, and Nathaniel means Gift of God in the Hebrew.  We will probably call him Ty or Nathan after he is born, but because I am stubborn and never actually cared for being called Ty myself (I prefer Tyrone – except my older relatives get away with it) I will probably have to warm up to it, I will probably call him Titus…

No matter, all is well.  Just to be clear, if it was a girl I would be just as excited and made sure she grew up to be “Daddy’s little girl” as much as was possible if it was up to me!
