Well, we went to the hospital for the sonogram the other day, and it’s official: My wife is pregnant with our first son! It’s a boy! He’s all healthy, and due to hit the stage on October 13th!
Some random thoughts on this:
- Knowing that the family name will live on for another generation is actually a weirdly huge deal.
- I get to buy toys that I would have played with when I was little, instead of feeling out of place buying dolls and princess outfits.
- There will be someone to hide out in the basement with when all the women in the house are screaming at each other (just kidding. sort of.).
- Finally I can contribute a boy to marry off to one of my friends’ daughters. Seems that the group I hang with and know has a disproportionately high number of girls compared to boys. Kind of like my family.
More to come, once I think about it some more…

Congrats! Having a son is great. Especially when they are 25 and come over to cut your grass as well as eat your food and drink beer with you!
