  23. Chris Scott on October 20, 2009 at 9:20 am

    Woooooohooooooo! I think you should name him “Poor sweet Mel is going to have her hands full with a miniature Sean running around”. But that might be a little long, so we’ll just call him by a nickname. Chris, perhaps?

    So happy for you guys!

  24. Joel Hartz on October 20, 2009 at 9:21 am

    Wow… that ultrasound was pretty cool! I didn’t realize the ultrasound app was available already. Congrats to you both!

  25. Mike Hoag on October 20, 2009 at 9:30 am

    OK, so I was wrong…but I did get Missy’s right, so I have another girl already! Bring on “little Sean”!

  26. CONI AND STEVE on October 20, 2009 at 9:31 am

    Well, I was one to guess wrong! I cannot thank you enough for your presentation last night at the Nashville Photography Club. You two are such a cute couple I can see why brides/grooms would want you for their wedding photographer. Wishing you all the best with baby boy!
