The envelope please ...

It's a boy!

Y'know, it's weird. I seem to remember hoping for a girl, and I think I even posted it, but now it seems like I wanted a boy all along. I love it when the reality is somehow more perfect than the hypothetical.

After the big reveal we tucked into the birthday cake (It's J's birthday today). After rapidly serving pieces to everyone, I settled down with my own. And (I'm sort of giving away J's full first name here) I looked at my piece, and it said "son" on it.
