It’s A Boy!
Many of our readers will know that we are expecting a little Lacy BOY in late October but I wanted to let everyone know. I guess we have not announced it before because we always presumed that the doctors may be unsure.
We first found out at our 12 week detailed scan when the doctor dryly asked “Do you want to know the sex?” and subsequently typed “penis” on one of our scans (very big of course!). Not feeling confident, we then had this initial assessment reconfirmed twice at our regular scans with Dr Ma before loudly announcing. I guess now we’re sure.
To say “Stacey is thrilled” is a mild understatement. She always “felt” it was a boy. Me on the other hand really didn’t mind as long as our child was healthy. Now that we know, I’m actually warming to the idea of having a little boy around. I’m certainly dusting off the cricket bat and pumping up the soccer ball … all in anticipation of a game in 5 years or so!
It’s funny how some women react to the gender debate. I’ve heard all of the following in recent weeks: “Boys are wonderful”; “Boys are so much better than girls”; and “Boys love their mothers differently than girls”. I know I have a “special” relationship with my mother!
On this topic, I read something amusing lately. This one Dad was quoted as saying about boys: “They’re really easy. Once they hit puberty all they think about is sex. They don’t care about anything else. And that’s pretty much it until they die.” Ha ha! I can’t wait until Mom has to deal with wet dreams and first girlfriends!
Until next week, much love from Hong Kong at 25 weeks.

Hi guys, so what does a “special” relationship mean big bro??? Well of course I am going to say boys are great, full on, but good. I dont think you worry as much about them, than girls. They are just alot of hard work in the beginning. Especially 2 boys, and can you imagine if I had 3?? So hope you are both well, not working too hard I hope, try to give you a call over the weekend!
