boy!
Oh, the irony. Before we were married, I told my husband-to-be, "I hope having sons isn't really important to you. My line of women doesn't birth sons. I don't think I am even physically capable of carrying a male child to term."
At least four generations of women in my direct maternal line have only had female children. My great-grandmother birthed 8 children - all girls. My grandmother had two girls, each of which had two girls. Before SchmoopyBoy, my cousins had each had a girl.
And now, it's going to be me and a house full of testosterone. Heck, even my dog is male.
I like to joke with my friends that have girl children, "if the poop and fart jokes get too bad, I'm borrowing your kid for the day". Oh please, who am I kidding? I love me some poop and fart jokes. You people have no idea how I refrain from sharing random tooty stories. I refrain people, I do. 'Cause, darn it, toilet humor is hilarious - to me and 5 year olds at least.
But I digress. (What, me? Digressing about toots? Shocking, I know) ...ehem...
Yes, little Kickypants appears to have boy-parts. Now I will get the privilege of raising two good feminist allies. I hope I am worthy and able to live up to my expectations.
Congrats! I have the two boys, two male dogs, my husband, of course, and every calving season we joke that we are fine breeders of bulls. I was always sort of a tom-boy growing up and I guess my sports skills, frog catching, and bathroom humor is going to pay off! Welcome to the testosterone festival!
