Like any true Mason or Grem, little Will's first instinct was to quietly prove (almost) everyone wrong.*
Even though lots of people were convinced this one was a little girl, we have pretty solid proof to the contrary. Which means someone else could be having a little girl soon...or maybe that will be our next one.
As for his name, William is after Darren's father, and Mason is after mine. We're still considering Miles in place of Mason, but my brother has made some serious threats regarding that one.
But then again, Scøupe hasn't seen my middle block and back leg roundhouse kick. I could take him. Piece of cake.
*i am, in fact, aware of this split infinitive, but i am using it purposefully for the sake of both the meaning and rhythm of the sentence.
sometimes sweet. sometimes sour.

i am, of course, honored, but also proud, touched, and humbled.
thank you both :-)
as to cherie's premonition that "someone" was going to have a little girl - she just found out that her neice had a girl this week. so, i consider her record for pregnancy prognosticating accuracy to still be unblemished.
Hurray for little boys! I'd better get to knitting...
Ooh, a boy! I know just the thing to knit. Everyone needs to hold off on the babies because I am already waaay behind on the knitting, thanks to my sister-in-law's twins.
And you're already plotting out the next child? Merciful heavens--my friends are having babies. I still can't get my head around it. Congrats!
i concur about Cherie's accuracy. Jenn told me the other day that, when they visited this summer, Cherie's first instinct was that it would be a boy. so she was definitely right to begin with :)
i would just like to remind you that i totally called this one. i think i might start playing lotto.
the above comment is from me.
brooke, an idiot who can't sign in because she doesnt have a blogger account.

HUGE congratulations!!! I can't wait to meet 'im.
Woot! I was right too! Congrats to you both! Now, what to knit....
wow, with all you knitters out there, we'll never have to buy him clothes! :)
yes, this is a copy-and-paste-job from my comment on Darren's blog. I want everyone to know that I can joyfully admit my mistakes:)
"sometimes it's okay to be wrong. in fact, it can be downright fabulous!
but I guess I'll have to rethink the original knitting plans. :)
Hooray!
