A lot of people have asked, "why call the baby little Pooka?" In short, Erin and I debated for several months whether or not we wanted to know the sex of the baby prior to birth. Eventually, my wife said no, and I totally understand her reasons. There are good arguments on either side, but in the end, the mystery of having a boy or girl is part of the joy and excitement of the birth process.
On the other hand, I definitely want to know! So, at our last ultrasound, the nurse confidentially told me and now I know! In order to keep the sex of the baby from Erin, I have made a vow not to tell a soul. Therefore, we wanted to come up with a name for the baby that we could use to avoid referring to the baby as "he" or "she". Hence, the name "Pooka!"
More to come later today. I hope to post the latest ultrasound pics tonight!
