Big News!

My Mom and Dad had three children. They were all boys.

Of the three of us, A got married first. He and his wife had two girls before, by mutual agreement, he took himself out of the gene pool.

S&K, who got married last June, are expecting. They're about two weeks ahead of us, in fact. They had their big ultrasound last week. They're having a girl.

Nancy and I had our big ultrasound earlier today. Everything was laid out for us to give my parents their first grandson and to assure that the family name will continue.

Didn't happen. We're also having a girl.

The Y chromosome skips a generation in our family, apparently.
