good news

Jan 20, 2009 10:12

On this auspicious day (ding, dong, the 8-year reign of idiocy is over), I am very pleased to report that the blood tests and ultrasounds came out perfectly normal, so much so that no amnio is needed after all (insert big sigh of relief), and...it's a boy! The pictures leave, er, no doubt. F will be thrilled, he really wanted a little brother ( ( Read more... )

Thanks! We are very, very thrilled :)

WOOO-HOOOO! That is wonderful news, I'm glad that the amnio is not needed...that seemed scary.

All my best to you, C, F and the new little fella!

Thanks very much! Me, too, it's nice not to have to worry about that, even if statistically it's supposed to be pretty darn safe. This kid is already a statistical rarity, so I'm not sure that statistics are much use in this situation... ;>

Heh...well it's your child and like begets like, no? You're not exactly one for conformity so why would your little one be?

Good point -- it's a fair cop.

Congratulations! Having two sons is great saith the mother of amazing men.

sagamockingbird January 20 2009, 20:26:28 UTC

Doh! Make that TWO amazing men.

C says that luckily for me, she is quite fond of the men in my family ;> There's a part of me that's a little wistful about not having the experience of raising a daughter (unless we adopt, I suppose), but raising F has been such an amazing and wonderful experience, and I am thrilled that he's going to have a brother and a sibling, something neither C nor I experienced.

heh. that's awesome, but you really deserved a daughter. ;-)

the boys will adore each other.

chelidon January 20 2009, 22:00:56 UTC

Heh -- you may be right, on both counts.

Also, I can't help noticing that Roth's little girl will be almost our boy's age. Now *there's* a scary thought. I also have visions of Roth coming to track down my son for compromising his daughter's virtue....(or vice versa, after all, she'll be the older, more experienced woman ;>)
