Our New Baby, My New Guns

For those who didn’t know, Camille is pregnant and due in October. She had an ultra-sound yesterday and apparently I am still having problems donating a y-chromosome to any of my offspring. I’ve tried giving the swim team pep talks to get them to be less timid but unfortunately they are slow learners or maybe just slow swimmers. All that being said, we are having ANOTHER girl.
Yes, that makes 3 girls, 0 boys. Yes, that will make me out-numbered 4-1 in the Winward household. And yes, I assume my girls will be beautiful like their mother and will have all sorts of boys chasing them.
So I have decided, for every girl that comes into this family, I get/need to buy one gun; thankfully this will be a retro-active rule and therefore, I will quickly need to purchase 2 guns before the birth of Helga (and yes, I am calling this one Helga) and I will also need to purchase an additional gun within a few weeks after Helga is born. If this trend of girls continues, I expect to have an arsenal large enough to scare off any hormone-driven adolescent boys knocking on our door.

Sounds like a great plan Jason, Rick has plenty of guns I'd love... I mean he'd love to "loan" you. Then again, we have a boy. he hee hee, sorry, couldn't resist.

If everyone had girls as cute as yours, they wouldn't want boys. Life is good

I'll have to admit I did laugh when Chris first told me but at the same time feel bad for you all but it really is less expensive to have all one kind lots less clothes to buy! All though if you keep up on this trend then eventually all the girl clothes will wear out! Congrats!

COOONNNNNGGGGRRRAAATTUUULLLAAATIONS!! This is cousin Celeste, by the way - can't remember if I ever introduced myself, but Camille, I was at your wedding reception :) I am so excited for you guys. Sisters are the BEST! Jason: my husband Jonathan is totally with you on the gun thing. His first thought after our Elena was born and the doctor said "It's a girl!" (we waited to find out) was "What am I going to do about the boys????" And now that I think of it, Jason, didn't you have a car named Helga? Or was it Olga?
