After 25 minutes of painful external, and then internal, and then more external poking and prodding, we got confirmation that we have a boy. Although I have to tell you, she was never completely convincing, because she kept looking, but whatever. It’s a boy.
So unless he comes out with a sign on his head saying, “my name is such-and-such”, or comes out lacking certain things we SWEAR we saw yesterday, we’re finally getting our Clark! And our Clark is going to be decked in Superman knits.
Can’t help it.
Nate is way into comic books, both super-hero and otherwise, and I’ve always had a thing for Superman. Can you blame me?
He’s divine.
So my yarn store shopping is going to consist of red, blue, and yellow for awhile. And I’m first going to look for red, and blue koigu. I already have a great yellow. And somewhere in there, I’m going to knit myself a pair of socks for the hospital. Not Superman socks, just a pretty pair of socks to deliver in. It’s a tradition for me to deliver my babies wearing pretty socks, although this will be the first time they’ll be hand knitted pretty socks, and I’m looking forward to it. For some reason, when I’m laying in the hospital bed completely lack of dignity in that wretched hospital gown, I enjoy looking down and seeing my pretty socks.
It’s the little things.

Oh, Laura, congratulations! I am so happy for you! What fun for the girls…a little brother.

As long as you don’t name him “Kal-El” ala Nicholas Cage you’re ok. I like the name Clark.
And coming from someone who thought it was a girl the first time and got the “Suprise! It’s a boy!”… I was told that when they are wrong, it’s most often that they think it’s a girl and they missed seeing the parts. If they saw parts, you’re pretty safe! Congrats!

This could explain the difficult pregnancy bit though. My pregnancy with my son was way more uncomfortable than with my daughter.

Congratulations! Say if superman logo aren’t that hard, I am tempted to knit one for the bossman of this house becoz of this story:
Many years ago, my hubby (then boyfriend: young and handsome) visibly got a little boy very excited; the little boy keep tugging his mommy’s hand going, “that’s superman, mommy!” (looking & pointing at my hubby the whole time!)
LOL
November 30th, 2005 at 11:05 pm
Congratulations! That little boy is going to be very loved and well looked after by his three older sisters!
December 1st, 2005 at 2:42 am
CONGRATS! IT’S A BOY!!
Yay for you and Nate…heh. Clark. Heh.
Seriously, yay!!
Hmm, time to start thinking about something creative I can knit with “Superman” in addition to the other little something I’ve been planning for MONTHS now. Yup, months.
December 1st, 2005 at 5:08 am
Um, would that be my socks Hayden?
December 2nd, 2005 at 3:02 am
No, as a matter of fact, it wouldn’t be. =)(although I haven’t forgotten about them either….they’ve just been waiting. Patiently…)
They’re something I thought of, all on my own, for Baby Finch, now named Baby Clark. Heh.
