You Can't Count on the Chinese Calender

The Chinese have come up with tons of cool stuff like fireworks, dragon costumes, the Chinese star, and superior capabilities to built long walls. However, the Chinese calender falls short of the list of great inventions/achievements.

My oh so sweet wife has come to grips with the fact that she can't count on internet tests and/or the Chinese calender when it comes to foretelling the gender of our future child.


IT'S A BOY!

Did she do it correctly? She needs to go with her Chinese age not her American age.. just as an FYI.. don't hate the chinese either, you will be getting quite the extensive wardrobe for your youngster there.

Does this mean Francis is out?

Ohhhh so exciting. Ben's little buddy! Can't wait to see his face and hear more about him. When is the due date? We need lots more details with cute preggo pics of Laura. I'm sure she's not even showing.
Congrats you guys!

HOW FUN!!! All I can picture is a clone of Jackson! He reminds me so much of you. Congrats to you guys!!! I loved having a boy first. That way, no matter what you have next, there is always a big brother to protect them.

Lucky for you too...girls are soooo much more expensive (and fun for moms)! Just wait and see!

I am so happy for you, a little sad for Laura though. I of all people know how badly a mother wants a girl.

But I know that you will be great with a boy. My boys LOVE you. They talk about you all the time, and the tickle-torium.

CONGRATS!!!!!
