It's a BOY!!!!!


Today has been the most exciting day since we found out that Dineli is pregnant. So exciting that I even got motivated to post my first blog, which involved a 30 minute tutorial from the wife.

Dineli had a sonogram appointment at 8am today, but we were stylishly late, say about 20 mins or so. Luckily we were taken in minutes after we got there. I couldn't have handled having to sit in the lobby for much longer than that. The doc got into it right away, with the gel and the wierd scanning device. I couldn't tell head or tail of it in the beginning as he was focusing on all the vital parts - heart, spine, legs, arms, head, etc. And finally he focused on the most vital part for today, drew an arrow to it, and typed 'I am a boy' on the screen. Dineli had a bit of a cry, even though I am sure she will deny it, and I was in complete awe, both because we are having a son and because everything seemed to check out as normal.

Then began the many rounds of calls to parents, siblings and friends. Sorry if we caught you at bad times, it was a great time for us :-) We are happy to have been able to share this news with you. We'll put some pictures up in a few days. Now we are slowly breaking the news to the adopted son at home, Kolla (our dog), and trying to ready him for the arrival of his best friend.

Nirmal... um... yes.... since you like it so much, I'll leave it for you so you can name your first son that. :-) Please do think of some nice names - they don't have to be strictly Sri Lankan, but should be quasi-Sri Lankan or Indian or of an ethnic origin... no Johns, Toms, Scotts or Jakes. Also, it doesn't have to be RCN anymore either unless the RCN names are really nice. Thanks for the call Naidoo! Hey, how about Raidoo Candoo Naidoo Mendis?
