it's a funny thing to talk to people while you're pregnant. i just absolutely love it because i always end up with a crazy story that makes me laugh!a couple weeks ago i was over at the lab i've worked in at ut wrapping some things up and i got a chance to visit with my friend dr. ahn from korea. of course, he was very polite and waited for me to bring up the fact that i'm pregnant in conversation rather than him commenting on my obviously growing belly :) we talked for a while about that and of course he was very excited to hear the news and offered lots of congratulations to me and chris. the funniest thing was when i told him we were having a boy! "A BOY!", he said (with now an even MORE excited tone than before). "OOO...CONGRATULATIONS!", he shouted while doing a little dance there in the office. "that's WONDERFUL! in my country, having a boy is like bowling a strike!" i just thought that response was hilarious!!! of course, i am thankful we live in a country where either boy or girl the child is an endless source of pride and joy for the family...but knowing how happy dr. ahn is that we're having a boy just makes me smile :)

TOO CUTE!
I agree with Sara....Striker Alley. What a great nickname!
Well, in all fairness, isn't your momma's maiden name Bowling? I still think Bowling Alley would be a great way to incorporate all family names. Bowling Fincher Alley. You could call him Bo for short.
I have been pulling for John Bowling Alley!
