Holy cow, we're going to be the parents of 5 GIRLS!!!
My four girls were ECSTATIC, to say the least. Boys are apparently not welcome here. My hubby was, honestly, a little shocked! He's not sad that he's having a daughter, but kind of bummed that he'll never have a son. ('Cause this is it, folks. The baby factory will be closing!) Today at church, a teenage boy gave a short talk on his weekend campout with his dad. Rod told me later he was thinking, I'll never get to do that. And he was a little bummed. There are no father/son campouts in his future.
So I found this consoling article for my hubby called 7 Scientific Reasons To Have Daughters. Check it out! Among the list is the fact that for each daughter a man has, he lives a little over a year longer. So my hubby just added about 6 years to his life! Not bad, eh?
Audrey was bummed it's a girl, I think she wanted Caitlin to experience what it's like to have a brother- ya know, so they could bond over annoying brothers. She's probably also a little jealous that she doesn't have sisters. ...
ReplyDeleteCool article though! so does having boys take away years? !
