We’re having a boy!

We just found out today that our first born will be a baby boy! I am so excited! I sort of guessed it was a boy almost immediately, only because looking at the amount of boys combined on both my side and Tom’s…I’m basically the only girl.

People kept asking me before what I wanted, a girl or a boy, and yes truthfully I would have liked a girl. Not that I am not thrilled and over the moon that I am having a boy instead. It’s just that growing up with boys…I always wanted a girl in my family. But since that’s not going to happen this time around…I’m really truly happy about it. I’m sort of glad it’s a boy. I had always been a little of a tom boy growing up anyways. Playing with Transformers, Legos, and Ghost Buster action figures instead of Barbies, My Little Pony, and Polly Pocket, etc. I probably wouldn’t know what to do with a girl. LOL. Kidding.

Anyways on to more important things! We have decided to name our lil boy Liam Ayden/Aydin Sparrow. We still haven’t decided on the spelling of “Aydin” just yet, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out soon enough. What do you guys think it should be spelled with, an “E” or an “I”.

I can’t wait to go shopping for boy’s clothes! I am so excited! I know Tom might object to some of the things I am going to put our child in, like little overalls…I don’t know about you guys, but I think the perfect tiny little overalls on baby boys are the cutest thing ever! And bow ties! Hahahaha, yeah Tom’s going to kill me.

Going to go do a bit of shopping tomorrow after work and also get some paint, to paint the nursery! Yay!!!!!!!!!! So happy!

I’m a interactive media developer/designer, and new mom to a gorgeous little boy named Liam Ayden Sparrow, who cooks to de-stress and relax. I’m originally from a little peninsula in the South East Asia region of the world called, Malaysia. Although I’ve moved a lot in my life, Chicago, Kuala Lumpur, Australia, Georgia, NYC, and finally back to Chicago; one thing remains the same. The food, because I cook. I grew up around amazing cooks. My mom and my late grandma, and although during my teen years I despised helping my mom in the kitchen, once I grew up and had to moved to a different country for studies, and didn’t have my mom to make meals for me, I realized how lucky I was to have at least some basic cooking skills! And although my mom never really allowed me to help her make anything (I was mostly there to help clean and prep) I did always pay attention to what she was doing in the kitchen. Over a few more years living overseas, and now being married, I’ve had plenty of time to practice my culinary skills and I’ve managed to teach myself a thing or two. I experiment, and create, and I think that’s the best way to learn…anything really.
