me and my fiance just found out today that we are having a baby girl on or around April 28th. this is quite a surprise, as both of our families have a history of all boys. we are beyond excited about this and both in tears when we found out. we've known she was pregnant, but sorta figured it was a boy lol. what a surprise! we both have 3 year old boys from past relationships, and are happy to be mixing it up a little bit :biggrin: by having a girl. now, i get to figure out if i should raise her a tomboy and liking audio, fishing, and cars... or barbie dolls lol. just figured i would share this with you guys, i am beyond excited. i will be posting pictures from the ultrasound the pictures of our two amazing kids a bit later.

    Yeah I have been slowly downsizing as well as my office is going to be more of a guest bedroom shortly w/ a futon or something like that. As such I have been working on getting a nice quality smaller setup in there so I can still get lots of music, but not take up as much space....

    Its a very hard balance for me but I let the wife win there and she lets me win the main room...so its kinda even

    lol yeah thats how we are. i convinced her to let me put together a "small cheap" bedroom set up, all that is lacking is the tv now. the s6's were supposed to go in there, but its not looking like it now thx to you! lol. when it comes to the main room, i get to run wild, as long as the money is there that is lol. we will see what happens closer to april, im expecting her to say "u need to sell this **** and buy a brand new crib!" lol

    Congrats man! Raise her to like girly stuff and love audio. Teach her that music involves instruments of some kind and that rap sucks and I am confident she will do just fine!:wink::tongue:

    Congratulations. Little girls are special...I had one myself...now turned teenager. As far as how to raise her. As they age they pretty much tell 'you' who they are. We didn't encourage any particular identification but we found even though we bought her girl toys...she disliked most dolls and especially Barbies? And she loved sports? She's now playing Soccer and Basketball..but is also becoming more aware of her appearance and 'style' so I guess you can have BOTH.

    Enjoy her. That's one nice looking family you have there!!

    Congrats!!!! Having kids is a true blessing (and a curse :wink:)

    My wife had three kids from a previous marriage, so I was happy not having any, until through a pregnancy scare that wasn't, we decided to have one of our own.

    Well, it turned out to be a girl....She actually apologized for having a girl, since I wouldn't have a boy to teach boy stuff to and be his coach ( I told her I was going to be too old to coach when she got to that age anyway).

    Well, she turned out to be very athletic (the family genes) and I ended up being her soccer coach, and coached her for five years, two as a travel all star coach. Those are memories we will always have together

    Again Congrats, and may you have a daughter that's even more cool than mine :biggrin:.

    lol thanks guys. i will let nature run its course with her, but i will definitely have a lot of influence. with the amount of celebrating we've been doing, i dont think i need to join a gym to get back into shape and lose the beer gut ive developed over the past 3 years :biggrin: chasing around 3 rugrats is going to be fun and exhausting!
