Hello Micah!

So we got to see our son today! He was incredibly active through the entire ultrasound, putting the energy he drains from me to good use I suppose.

I am so thrilled! I can't stop grinning when I think of him. I would have been this thrilled about a girl too, I'm pretty sure, but man am I excited for this little guy! I know it's silly, but I get to call him by name for the next few months..... it's so great!

Originally I was having trouble choosing between Rijk (pronounced Rike) and Regent, one of my dad's middle names, but Rijk is a family name on my mom's side, and it has more meaning I think. I kind of feel like Rosalie is already a tribute to my dad, since he loved yellow roses and she is a Rose whose birthstone is yellow. I don't know if I'll have another baby, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to use Rijk. It was my mom's father's name, and it's also a middle name for one of my cousins.

I'm going to have a son! Micah Lawrence Rijk Duprey. I couldn't be happier!!!
