Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler IT'S A BOY.........AGAIN

Congrats, Big Guy...

Having only two children, one a girl, 22, married and living in Louisiana and the other, a boy, 12, currently away at Scout Camp, I can say that we have had an easier time with the boy...Girls are great until they hit puberty...but some do better than others...ours was in the others category.

Congrats nonetheless...

I'ts unwise to make fun of your future, Bren.

Ummm, you have complete control over it, but perhaps not in a way that you would find agreeable . . .

Our first child was delivered by c-section, and the second vaginally, 19 years ago, without any problem. I think it's a myth that one c-section requires that all subsequent births be c-sections. You might investigate a bit further, unless your wife would just as soon have another c-section.

Here's an article on the subject of VBAC..

In summary, it's not always possible, but often is.

bigjohn - I am really happy for you. Of course, having 2 daughters (who I love dearly), I am also a bit envious. Just doing a little thinking through the gene pool issues, I am predicting that your food bill when the reach the teenage years will be pretty impressive. When the girls brought their boyfrined over during high school, we pretty much fed them using a trough and front loader.

Since you are a pizza short of having your own zip code ( I would require three pizzas) , your pick up truck will be hauling daily freight in #303 cans and sides of beef from Sam's Club before too long. Given your description of daily life around bigjohn Manor, the whole experience that will unfold over the next few years for you is something to look forward to. Until they get big enough to overpower you for that last rib!!

By the way - please steer them away from that unfortunate cone fetish you have. Give our best to Shannon.

The zipper is already there, I would probably opt for a second c-section if we were to have another.

Congratulations!!!

Have you picked out a sidearm for him yet? Ya might wanna start with a Derringer. You can take him up to Bren's place on his first birthday, and blast his first woodchuck...

CONGRATZ!

Seems lot of my friends are starting to have kids, I kinda like it actually, to see it all happen before it finnaly happens to me.

Very cool pics of your progress, INANE! The bathtub in the HT should come in handy for viewing "Spartacus" and such.

Congratulations. Did you see any Longhorns in that sonogram? Grab the opprotunity. "Honey, you would deny our child the safety of the Epic 80 baby monitor system?".
