Reaction to knowing it is a boy

Funny story: Nikki dreamt the night before the ultrasound that upon being told it was a boy, I started to do the tootsie roll and proceeded to tell everyone within earshot that we were having a boy.

Then, a salesman we ran into a few days ago also had this to say when he asked what we were expecting “wow!" when a man gets a boy it's like the best thing in the world. The guy won't say that to his wife, since he doesn’t want her to feel bad, but every man wants a boy to carry on his name”.

And my father in law is over the moon about this as well. Angeline is ecstatic though she would clearly prefer a girl. And Nikki is just happy that I will be in charge of haircuts and bathroom runs :)

So how do I feel? Well as far as I know there are ten fingers and ten toes. The baby is healthy and that means I am happy. With so many things that can go wrong with a pregnancy (for example, the doctor recommended that she not go bowling, (no, no……… real bowling as in bowling in a bowling alley with balls and pins……. No not those balls! Ahhh you know what I am saying :) ) Anyway like I was trying to say, so many things can wrong that I am just thankful that everything seems to be going right. So whether it is a boy or a girl I am happy.

That being said: I am having a boy. Boy Boy Boy!

PS: Need to get him a Manchester United jersey so I can take him out to play soccer and warn him of the evil Arsenal aunts (Dayan) and uncles (Millan). He he he

Mario, I see you can't hide you true feelings. i wonder what your reactions if it was a girl. Maybe it would go something like this, "OH ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!" I know that would be my reaction. On a more serious note thoug, I child is a gift from God and what a wonderful gift He has given to your family. I look forward to the updates.
