Abu el Banat
My Grandpa Astle was the second-to-last child of his family. He had four boys. Of those four boys, my dad was the second-to-last. He had four boys. Of those four boys, I was the second-to-last.
When I was younger, I always thought that meant that I, too, was destined to have four boys. Well, perhaps I got it just backwards.
We had our 20-week ultrasound today to celebrate my birthday, and it's official: we're now up to three girls. The little one growing in Shelly's tummy gave us a really good look such that even to our untrained eyes it was pretty obvious. She is healthy and well-developed, and she's a girl.
I'm happy. Yes, I would like to have a boy. There are different experiences that come from raising boys and girls, I suppose, that I would like to experience. But I sure do love my girls, and we sure do a good job of making cute ones. I'm excited. Besides, we already have the clothes and things.
This has been a really good birthday.

Happy Birthday! Sorry we didn't know on Sunday when you came to our home. We would have made sure we had cookies ready.
