Dear Wes, You and your good lady must be very excited - I can still remember the "shock" at the ultrasound session when the doctor showed us two "tadpoles". He kept on moving the sensor around, and when asked, replied that he was just making certain there wasn't a third hiding behind the other two!!! Our boys are now 17 years old and in their last year at school. I hope we've brought them up to understand "values" and "morals" as well as "a good sense of humour". We won't know for certain until they are out on their own and making their own decisions without parent backup! It has been fascinating to watch them over the years, how different each is from the other (they are fraternal not identical) considering they have had the same background, etc. How one walked before the other but was the later one to talk - slightly worrying at the time as these were our first children so we had "no previous experience"!!! Etc, etc - sorry I'm rambling (reminiscing?) One thing we have learned is that if you can "teach" and "guide" a child (by example?) rather than "tell", the results can be far more successful!!! (Especially if you can convince them that they thought of it first!) Good luck and the very best of good wishes to you both (all)!
