Good morning girls Happy birthday Cody! Great to hear your scan went well Amanda and that you have a healthy little bubba growing in there! I once lived in a pub owned by a (Catholic) husband and wife who had 9 children... 8 boys and a girl. The girl was the 5th. It makes you wonder what really determines these things hey? I guess it's a combination of things. The boys were all so different though... most of them lived and worked at the pub. They were as well behaved as you could expect! It was really fascinating to see so many different facets of "maleness" in the family. You could see similarities but it was like looking at a cut gem: so many different facets reflecting a rainbow of colours united by the gem. It was quite inspiring. Made me wonder what it would be like to have so many children all highlighting a different aspect of you and your DH. I think this is emphasised when you have so many of a particular gender. I hope your pregnancy continues to progress well and that you are feeling well Oh and my DH was the 4th son in a family of five children... his younger sister was a girl.... but strangely his mum always said "I love my daughter... but give me boys to raise anyday!" I tend to agree at this point in time too! Oh and like Mel said: Think of the money you will save!!! Oh how true! Girls are much more demanding on the financial resources I have to say!

Goodness me! Niall is into absolutely everything ATM!!!
