The scans confirmed that number 2 going to be a boy. Faith and I are a little overwhelmed at the thought - we’ve only ever had sisters and a daughter. I’ve always been a little harder on guys. I notice that while taking care of the kids in church.
Although girls engage in frivolous stuff like painting their nails and brushing their hair, boys do genuinely stupid things that result in people (mostly themselves) getting hurt. They’ll be climbing, kicking, punching, making a lot of noise, high from the nail-polish fumes coming from the girls’ corner.
The only experience I have bringing up a boy is my own childhood, and it’s the furthest thing I’d recommend to any parent of a boy. I fought my way through primary school, never did any homework and even wrote hate notes to my mother. They weren’t exactly “I hate you”, but snippets of 80s song lyrics that expressed my melodramatic oh-so-hurt inner child.
I wouldn’t know how to deal with me, and that scares me silly.
Congrats! How lovely, one girl and one boy! new experience and challenge…make it more fun :) enjoy!!
maybe we should start sending seth over to your place on weekends :) wheeeeeeeeee!!! (for us, not you…)
Dude, Chill man. I got 2 boys- and it’s fun! Mom will have fun with the kid, and you can then take him out to play when he’s older.
Relax, God wouldn’t give you something you cannot deal with.
Hey Ken! It’s been a while. Glad to see you’re having fun with the double eagles. :) And thanks for the reminder that God provides us the means as well as the gifts.
In response to Ai’s comments, maybe send your son over to Ai’s place on weekends, then it’s wheeeee for you! You’ll be great parents, God doesnt just take care of the little ones, He takes care of the people who take care of the little ones too!
whoohoo! newphew!
whoops. nephew
It’s true. God would not give us something that we cannot bear. :)
We can always send your godsons over… then it’ll be wheeeeee for Vern and me… hehe ;p
Congrats!
Hi Chinghan,
I am sure Faith and you will do just as great with a boy!
Congrats! It’s nice to have a girl and a boy, and in that order too!
congratulations!
very clever of you to make one girl and now one boy!
