UPDATE: It's (going to be) a boy!

Re: It's (going to be) a boy! Or a girl!

My sister, who has three sons, says boys are easier because when they fight, they wrestle or throw a punch or two and then it's over. With girls, they hold grudges and there's a lot more drama.

 

Re: It's (going to be) a boy! Or a girl!

That may be coming sooner than you think.

 

Re: It's (going to be) a boy! Or a girl!

I know I haven't posted enough to congratulate you, but congrats anyway.

 

Re: It's (going to be) a boy! Or a girl!

Good luck and congrats.

I hope little Mr. or Miss Babar is much more cooperative than my sister's first, who refused to roll over and let the ultrasound pick up his weiner until the final (i.e. emergency) ultrasound about three weeks before he was born.

For the record he's still uncooperative

 

Re: It's (going to be) a boy! Or a girl!

We are in the minority these days and waited to find out until birth with both our kids (both boys). I didn't really care one way or the other, but my wife really wanted to wait to find out. I have to say it added a nice little present to the birth to hear the doctor say what we had.

Boys are definitely rough and tumble and a lot of fun, but I wouldn't worry too much about what it is as long as it is healthy. Congrats and enjoy the experience.

It's a boy!

It was clear as day on the ultrasound -- one of the pictures they gave us was even of the ... parts. He'll be thrilled to know he was doing porn while still in the womb.

It's funny, even though I kind of wanted a boy, as soon as she said it I thought, "Aw, a little girl would have been fun, too." I suppose I would have thought the same either way.

At least now I can stop calling the baby "it." And we were in way better shape on boy names than girl names.

 

mazel tov to you and the mrs. make sure he learns from you how a woman is to to be treated. that's your primary responsibility.

take if from the father of the three stooges, as i lovingly refer to my posse.

 

May I be the first to welcome Arnold Jr.!

(God please don't name him that!)

 

Congratulations, Arnold. I hope little Mikey has a great childhood.

 

Look on the bright side Arnold, if you name it Mikey, you won't have to worry about him impregnating any young lady.

 

we wanted to be surprised with the first, but as typically over-thinking parents, chose to know the genders of nos. 2 and 3 in order to "prepare" the oldest for what was to come.

i wish we'd have kept it a secret until birth. much more fun that way. preparing the oldest and then the older two for what was to come didn't really do much in "preparing" them. either way, their space was being invaded.

 

Congrats

I think you have posted on the "what to do with my newborn" thread. If you have not, it's a great resource.

Stock up on the crap now.
