We just found out yesterday that our child due in July is a boy! Simon Thomas is looks healthy and quite big for his age already (can you say inside linebacker?).

LOL. As the father of two girls, I found this comment to be hilarious.

Thanks. Yeah, I already have a girl. They are fun, but her toys are not as fun as the boys (though she does have some matchbox cars and when she was younger a Thomas train set). It is all about the toys.

Yeah, no it's not as fun if you can't share the toys. ;) Congrats!

While my niece was the first member of the next generation in our family, and therefore got all the attention, when her little brother was born two years later, the cool toys started to show up over the years. I never would have played Mike Tyson's punch-out if it weren't for having a nephew!

Congratulations.

My wife still loves to tell the story of the look on my face when I learned the my son was going to be, well, a son. (Me & everyone else was absolutely convinced that the baby-to-be was a girl).

As the OB put it {pointing to the ultrasound} "See that right there? That's not a finger"

Are we talking OOTP again, or is this real life? ;)

Either way, congrats and I hope he becomes a big league prospect.

No, this one is real.

The first thing our tech pointed out was his scrotum. I've never been so happy to see a scrotum in my life.:D

Congratulations.

Don't be alarmed if your child gets up to the age of 6 with "No Baseball Skills." :)

Great news, GD! Congrats.

I have fond memories of our ultrasound. The nurse put the device on my wife's belly and maybe two seconds later says, "Boy."

We both looked at her with surprise (because of how fast she determined it), and she points at the monitor and goes "Right there, that's a boy!"

Of course to me the monitor looked like the landing pattern on an air traffic control screen, but that's beside the point...:p
