Yeah, It Means I'm Gonna Be a Father
I have this bad habit of rambling to a degree that I obscure my point, as was mentioned in a comment over on my LiveJournal. So I apologize to any of you who battled through that previous post and didn't get that Sed is nine weeks pregnant.
In my defense, it would have been a lot more clear had my scanner not decided to suddenly and anticlimactically die. I'd planned to insert a sonogram image immediately following the "conception" paragraph, which would have drawn the eye and mind to the intended conclusion. But when I went to scan it, my computer informed me that there was no such device attached to it and maybe I would be better served by simply jumping off a bridge. However, I'd already written the entire entry, so I decided to simply post it as it was, diluted message and all. If you didn't read it, skip to the last three paragraphs when you do; it's more comprehensible that way.
As to the names we've chosen: there are three schools of thought swimming around in the vast, uncharted depths of my cranial lobes. To wit:

- Retain my reputation as a wicked tease by making everyone wait until the birth before I even say a word;
- Borrow a page out of Dooce's book and come up with something so horrifying that the world at large will breathe a sigh of relief when we reveal what we've actually picked;
- Just spill and get it over with.
Hmmm, my computer always give me the same message whenever I want to scan something, too. I have yet to figure out how to fix the problem.

We kept my son's name a secret until he was born. We're doing the same thing now with my daughter's name. The drawback with my son's name was that they thought it ws something great and were a bit disappointed, "Oh, it's Ryan... hmm. That's nice."
No one really cared for my joke of Prince Michael Henry or it's continuation with this pregnancy of Princess Michael Henry.
Option #4 is to hold out until interested parties bring the right amount of $$ to the table. Milk it for all it's worth, like Slurpie Cruse.
