Bab-E is a...



Happy Fatherhood Friday everyone!

The views expressed in this blog do not necessarily reflect the views of dad-blogs.com, but they still let me participate in this event.

We had our 2nd trimester ultrasound on Wednesday.

Without further ado, Bab-E is…(drum-roll)…

a BOY!

We now have 60% of a basketball team (albeit our players are very short), and we're also saving money on clothes and toys.

Whoever said that the Y-chromosome was becoming obsolete must've forgotten to survey our household.

And apparently because I took my childhood swimming lessons at the "Y"-MCA, my "X"'s were off talking about shoes instead of working on their swimming skills.

Methinks it's time to consider renaming the blog:
a. Busy-Dad-E and THE LAND OF TESTOSTERONE
b. Busy-Dad-E's TESTOSTER-HOME
c. Even The Dog's A BOY
d. Mom-E is WAY WAY Outnumbered Now

Seriously, we’re all excited. Sure there were moments where I envisioned shopping for dresses with Mom-E, and polishing my shotgun on the porch. And I still hold on to hopes of having a daughter someday. But that's a personal decision for Mom-E and I some time down the road.

However, we feel completely blessed to have a third son who appears to be healthy. Apparently, it is our mission in life right now to produce a small army of sweet, handsome, polite, well-adjusted, and compassionate boys who we hope will:
a. Make the dads of three girls very happy someday.
b. Make wonderful future Dad-E's (and Dad Bloggers)!

Mom-E's OB said that God never gives you more than you can handle. And with 3 boys, she must have the patience of Job.

I'd argue that she's even MORE patient than Job. I mean, Job went through a lot, but he didn't have to give birth to or breastfeed 3 boys.

At least we know Mom-E will be VERY well protected by her men.

Here’s a picture of Bab-E Brother:


There's only ONE PROBLEM. We have NO IDEA what to name him. Seriously. And so, IT'S CONTEST TIME!

**EVERYONE, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR A NAME (FIRST AND MIDDLE) FOR BAB-E BROTHER!**

If you win (i.e., we pick one of your names), Mom-E has promised to "make you something cool."

That may sound ambiguous, but take it from anyone she has ever hand-made something for, the girl does good work.

Don't forget, Mom-E has a Black Belt in Grandma Arts.

Thanks for sharing in our happy news.

Have a good weekend!

  1. I loved this blog today and the US picture! I am SO happy! It would have been so fun to have a baby girl in the family, but I love boys so I'm just as happy about this (of course)! Can I submit more than one name? Mom-E is VERY good at making sleep sacks, valences, bed skirts, diaper holders, CUTE outfits etc...so I want to one. I'm going to think about this name thing and then post another comment later! Love Aunt_E

  2. I also loved this post today. I love your humor! The 3D ultrasound gives me chills and I do think Bab-E looks like Big Brother.
    So happy to have another sweet boy to love. I will also be thinking up some names. Mom-E definitely rocks with her sewing/crocheting skills!

  4. Congrats! You may be 60% of a basketball team, but now you have your own golf foursome. Tee times will be that much easier for you :)

  6. so many names, so little time. I suggest something fun, like Bradford David, so he can have a nickname or initials matching your blog ;-)

  7. Don't count those chickens before they hatch! Middle Weasel (very feminine name) was 100% going to be Matthew Weasel. I still have an ultrasound pick of her, plain as day, gonads. That said I like John Ryan Weasel for a name. Call him Jack. The name Jack gives connotations of a good guy. You can puke in Jack's car and he won't get mad (as long as you clean it up). Jack will spot you a 5. Jack is solid and dependable. Jack is a good friend.

  11. CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you for sharing the ultra sounds photos. How precious!

    I never thought of boys names because we were going to use my husbands first and middle names, but invert them because he didn't want a junior. Well we didn't have to worry because we had two girls.

    I must say Smallprint's names are very clever. That said, I like Peter Edward, Patrick James, Michael John, Max Gregory and Alexander Edward.

    Of course, I like Jack Ryan, but that's already been submitted.

    Congratulations, again!
