Table for FOUR Please

I've spent considerable time in this space discussing my wife, child and family.

I've posted pictures of my son and parents and even admitted my shortcomings as a father to Zeke and a husband to Jill. Overall, I feel that Jill and I work well as a team in this parenthood marathon. We know we are blessed in that Zeke is a mellow child that is healthy, happy, (and for now) very well adjusted. We know that the odds of another kid that is this easy to take care of is a million to one.

We'll, we are rolling the dice again.

It's official, we are pregnant again. (Well, Jill is pregnant, but I helped...)

When the next Baby Borland arrives, Zeke and his sibling will be approximately 15 months apart. (That's a year and 3 months for those of you in Rio Linda.) Close enough together that we should be able to singlehandedly keep the Pampers Corperation afloat for a while.

We'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. Prayers are appreciated. Jill is planning to provide us both with counseling as time goes by.

Yes, we are hoping for a girl. No, there are no immediate plans to try again if I managed to provide two Y chromosomes in a row...

Yes, we are working on names. No, there are no definite choices yet.

Yes , we are excited. No, Jill is not making it through this without massive bouts of nausea.

Man I'm glad I'm a boy.

Hello Chris,

Congratulations to y'all and God's Blessings!!! David and I are also expecting! We are due in October. Praise the Lord. We already have his two girls but I just have been a part of raising them since they were 3 and 5 (now almost 8 and 10). Here comes a whole new world and right now fatigue and nausea--yep I'm pregnant.
