On July 9, 2009, Stacey and I had our monthly appointment with the doc. This particular appointment was special because we could find out the sex of the baby, if we so desired. As everybody knows, I really wanted to know but Stacey was content with just hearing the words “Healthy and Strong!” When it came time to determine the sex, the doc took me outside in the hallway, pulled out a pen and notepad, and wrote “boy”! He saw the glow in my eye and congratulated me!!! After seeing that word, the first name that popped into my mind was “Blaise” – it was a name I always loved as a kid growing up. 
Its origins are Celtic/Irish meaning Firebrand! Anyway, after we left the doctor’s office, the first thing I did was go buy his domain name: blaisebonnell.com, so the date this url was purchased was the date I found out it was a boy! Oh, by the way, I could only keep this boy thing a secret for about two weeks, before I had to tell Stacey
