Mrs. meow and I plan on having kids until we have one of each sex. Boy is taken care of, so number 2 better be a girl.

lol, this approach scares me. Shmenguin commented, but all I can think is



Good for you and Mrs. Meow though if you have the mindset and means

I played little league with a few kids that their mother said she wanted a girl and they were going to have kids until it happened. 13 boys. 13 boys!! Then a girl. Insane. We decided that if we have 4 boys, we are done.

[Juice]

2 girls. Wife wants 4. I want 2. We'll meet in the middle and have 4.

[canaan]

Lolol^

If you meet somewhere other than the middle, you can limit that to two.

My wife is a twin. When she was born ('78) they didn't have sonograms, just would listen to the heartbeat. Her and her twin's heartbeats were the same, so they didn't hear any irregularities / 2 heartbeats. Wife popped out first and then they found out my MIL had one more to push out. Imagine getting that surprise.

Forgive me when I state I did not read a single post in this thread. I will. I just want to tell you the first thing that came to my mind when I read this thread:

Kids need beatings.

Bernie Mac humor: (I obviously changed a word to "effed" lol.

I will eff a kid up. When a kid gets one-years-old, I believe you got the right to hit him in either the throat or the stomach. If you grown enough to talk back, you grown enough to get effed up!

[PensFanInDC]

Yeah...I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that....

[viva la ben]

If that humor is indicative of Bernie Mac's humor, I'll pass

Still surreal that one year ago this minute we were in the hospital, and now we have a full blown walker on our hands. Babies are crazy

Is that supposed to be funny? (Serious question--I'm genuinely trying to find the humor)

Maybe he was just being sarcoidtastic?

This is one instance where you need to actually see the concert. Its from kings of comedy, and his delivery and the story surrounding it is funny. Milk and cooooooooookies.

[PghSkins]

Not that I want to rush life but is there a fast forward button on kids that skips everything between 12 and 20?

If I had a mouth like my teenager I'd get a world class a** whooping.

But we don't do that around here.

Home alone with the baby for the next 3 nights <crosses self>

haha its not so bad. When our daughter was ~4.5 months, my wife went to Vegas to watch her parents renew her vows. Granted, it helped that she was sleeping through the night at the time. Although just to be safe, I would stay up until 1130-12 and top her off around that time. Enjoy it.

I take it you are working though? At least mine was on the weekend.

[meow]

I'm actually going to take tomorrow off and stay home with him. He's to the age where he is starting to walk so I gotta be on my toes at all time.

[eddysnake]

I'm looking forward when it's just me and the kids again, we stay up real late watching batman animated series and they think it's the best thing in the world.

Sounds like the best thing in the world.

My son is just about crawling. He does a strange army crawl with a dead leg type deal now. Life's about to change in a big way. Awesome.

[PensFanInDC]

Then its walking. Then running and jumping and "MY GOD HOW DOES THAT NOT HURT TO DO THAT!?"

It is indeed awesome.

[shafnutz05]

I've been amazed at how many times our daughter hits her head on things, I wait for the heartbreaking sob, and she just gives a harumph and goes back to what she is doing.

My three year old blew my mind last weekend. She said she wanted to pour the milk into her cereal, and I said you can't possibly, this is a new gallon, it is too heavy for you. She matter-of-factly said "pour it in a cup, and I will pour the cup into my bowl."

The purpose of that story is to say that it is going to be hard to go back to a newborn at any moment now. My wife's due date is Saturday. Major :gulp: for me if this kid decides it wants to hang out in the womb through the weekend.

Don't everybody take this the wrong way:
There's a reason first borns are typically favored. They're the first to blow your mind with this stuff. The second go 'round there's a small part of you that's like, "Yeah, that's pretty cool, but your sister already did that trick).

that's what i'm dealing with now. my daughter is 2 and impresses me every day. my son is at 2 months and 99% of his job is to just cause problems.

My youngest of three though, it's like- awwww this is the last time we get to do (whatever she is doing). Thus... middle child syndrome.

He's probably (ok, definitely) the best behaved of the three but between being the first time through things with the oldest and the last with the youngest... he gets the shaft.
