Ok So this is delayed by about a week… but we found out you are a boy!!!! We also found out that you don’t have any common genetic things they look for early. Which is comforting too. There’s so much anxiety and worry about pregnancy, its nice when some things get removed from the list. Though no matter what I suppose I’ll always worry about your existence and no human has a 100% perfect body. Though seriously more important news you are a boy! (And currently the size of a lemon) Your mom was so convinced you were going to be a girl, but I think she felt she could will things where I was like that’s not how math works at all. We’ve been arguing about names a lot.
Your current fetus name is Rasputin because your mom is literally always sick and you needed a villainous name for causing this. Though your actual birth name top two seem to be William (my pick) or Theodore (Your mom’s pick) She doesn’t like the nick name variations of William which I guess. I don’t like Bill or Willy, but I do like Will. Like Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean. Which will be like a 40-year-old movie by the time you read any of this lol. I somehow bet Johnny Depp will still be making those movies in 2040 lol. Maybe the Light Rail to Ballard will finally be open.
I was thinking of all the boy activities we can do. Though son I’m going to be honest with you I’m not the most testosterone filled Dad. There’s like large hairy aggressive guys in the world. I’m more of a funny nerdy dad. Plus side It means I’m more likely to journal to you 😊 So if you like sports uh… I will do my best to follow along. Though I guess plus side I am in way better shape than all the jocks I went to high school with. They got sooo fat and I can bust out 10 mile runs on a whim. So, suck it high school social hierarchy.
Though alternatively if you wanna be active in running/yoga/hiking/skiing I got ya covered. Though I hope you love video games, comic books, science, and arguing about dumb shit as much as I do! Obviously not to the point where we give up on good hygiene and social skills, but like a sane amount. Really, I just want you to be happy and I’ll do my best to be interested in whatever you are interested in. I have already found you some baby swim classes to sign up for and you barely have arms!
Ok vessel for hopes and dreams I should probably get back to work. And hey go easy on your mom, she’s been sick for days and I think she could really use the break. Love, Dad.
