Baby Boy McClure!!!

It's official, unless that's a third leg the doctor says, then it's definitely a boy (as confident as he can be in 2009 while avoiding a lawsuit for false information).  We're no doctors, but seeing is believing.  Alexis gloated in her being 1-for-1 on predictions and I promised a furious comeback over the next few kids, but we'll see, she was eerily confident in her prediction from the get-go.  And I was so sure it was a girl that it took me awhile, to be honest, to visualize having a first-born son.  We are so stinkin' excited to have a little baby boy it's unfathomable.  I loved the baby before, obviously, but this takes it to a new dimension.  We can't wait to carry him through the zoo and look at giraffes, tickling his little neck as we point out their long ones.  His first ballgame, (Mariners, because the Sonics left town) teaching him the National Anthem and the infield fly rule; standing and cheering with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th.  Some day we'll read of Noah loading a huge boat with all them animals, Jonah's big man-swallowing whale, and Jesus feeding 5000 people with one little boy's sack lunch.  We can't wait to raise a son, a McClure, and a child of God - precious in His sight.  

Here's to "snakes, snails, and puppy dog tails"

Luke 1:31 "You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name ..."

*That's not an open invitation for suggestions.  It's a secret for now.  We'll let you know soon enough :)
