It's a Boy!

We had our first sonogram on Tuesday and everything looks good and Minion is a boy! :) We are super excited! We already have his name picked out but I'm thinking that I won't be sharing it in such a public setting. I haven't decided yet how many privacy precautions I will take with our little guy and the internet. And I may adjust and adapt my policies as time goes on but for now he will continue to be Minion on here :)

Both Luke and I were homeschooled - he until 8th grade and myself through high school while duel enrolling in elective classes and extracurricular at the public school. We both always tested high amongst our peers and love to have thought-provoking conversations on deep topics. So having a smart and well educated child is very important to us.

So we jokingly said when once of us stepped through the floor, we would rip it up and redo it then and there.
