Hurt, congrats!! Boys are great. I ought to know, I had four of them! Haven't read the replies yet, but will next. Just had to tell you this though. Cayden is so close to my 18yos' name, Kalen. His middle name is Jacob. He used to get so mad when he was little and my DH and I would call out to him by "Kalen Jacob jingle heimer schmidt! Funny the pet names you have for your babies!

Our youngest is 2.5 yo..... so yes, it's 'baby fever' time.............but I will hold off on that for awhile longer. LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

The oldest will be 12 THIS month! eek!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

When we met OC, we had 2 boys & I was pg w/ # 3. OC is a girl & baby #3 was a girl! yay!

Funny the things we worry/think about.

H family is just ALL gagagoogoo over our dd. It's just because she is a GIRL! LOL.

H has 3 sisters, I have 2 brothers, we are both 'onlies' soooo.....but inlaws ADORE ALL of our kids.

I think it helps that H & I are the 'favorites' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> of our parents anyway, plus the oldest & onlies!

WE can practically do NO wrong in thier eyes! Which is not really a good thing, if ykwim?
**********************
**********************

I totally understand about being the 'youngest mother' & now the older one. We started when we were 19 & are now 31! It's as if we have 2 different families........one starting jr hi age & the other 2 starting pre-school age???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

It's as if we've always been in the 'middle' gap. Younger than those we have something in common w/ but nothing much in common w/ those our own age.

Most people our age are barely starting thier families. Funny how that works..........add the fact that we've been married for what seems like forever compared to everyone else our age!

anyhoo...........

love the name, love boys, love babies.........really, you are gonna have SO much fun! (& I hope you have good health insurance because boys have a tendency to make a lot MORE trips to the ER! LOL)

And if you think there is an injury that is gonna require stitches.....guess what?...they just use a super glue type stuff now & you can buy it from Target for about $15..........(as opposed to a $500 ER visit! LOL)

hi everyone,

the oc is a boy. i was angry about her having a boy because my H has a little girl so i wanted to be the first one to give him a boy....i guess i didn't get so lucky with that. that's why i think i hold a bigger grudge with her because that was to be MY boy I gave him. after the ultrasound i told him that too and he felt awful. its funny that your boy is Kalen Jacob because my H likes Cayden Jacob! Thank you everyone for your congrats!!

Oh megan....don't even sweat it...........the BIG diff is that the woman he LOVES is having HIS child------------that makes ALL the difference in the world!

A man can spread his seed all over town but when the woman he LOVES produces HIS child--------the worlds stops spinning for a moment and that is all that matters. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

When he sees the woman he LOVES feeding his child, or bathing, or loving the baby-------->his heart melts a thousand times. Only she is the world's greatest mother.........the rest? are just 'females'. kwim?

LOVE that baby, enjoy that baby, it will make the difference. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You are right KT. I'm trying hard to accept my situation still. But I'm more focused now on our little one. But I can tell how excited my H is when he talks about Cayden vs. Blake (the OC). He met Blake for the first time yesterday and the OW just dropped him off and left for an hour. So that was nice. I asked him when I got home how it was and you could tell in his eyes that he is going to love that baby. No one can deny a baby. Plus my H utterly loves babies. The whole crew calls the baby mini Mike (my H's name) so I guess he looks just like my H. But at least it went smoothly and all. Take care and we finally decided on his middle name......it will be Cayden Michael (after his daddy).

KT is so right,
Even when it come to my H's OC(son),my H doesn't even give Xow a second thought when we are visting him up at her place, It's me enjoy's seeing with our children and his OC,it's me he's bonding with all of our(ours/his)children, not her. Hope this gives you some help and encouragement.

You are so right. At first i had a hard tme watching H play be be a dad to his daughter (OC) but then i say this is him, he LOVES chilren all children, and all he is TRYIN to do is be a father to his child. I have to respect that. I love that because so many men know w days are not fathers to their children, so i have to say I am proude for that.

hopefully i can get to that moment where having the oc and my child together won't bother me. i don't think i will mind it as long as the ow isn't there. she knows she isn't wanted so why would she want to hang out with us? i hope everyone is having a great weekend. take care!
