However, he's too busy defending his anti-known-biology theory that the <i>woman</i> is to blame, instead of documenting his method!! I've told him time and again that he just had strong whole swimmers, he won't budge... Of course, twenty-odd years later, he admits he wouldn't change us for any son in the world hehe! ;) My father knows that secret: he’s produced three daughters.

After Adam arrived, though, we were all, <i>how would THAT work, exactly?</i> Paul: correct on both counts. jdog: good luck! And if you learn the secret of selectively breeding females, please let us know. Idaki: we once thought twins would be the best thing that could happen.

I think Alek could kick <i>my</i> ass. We're going to start trying to get pregnant again in a few months, unless you continue this level of discouragement. So is currently insisting that we produce only a female sibling for him, so I've instructed T that he cannot fail on this point. Good heavens. I think Alek could kick my ass.

In fact, I really do love children but I wonder about my ability to take care of them since it require a degree of patience (among other things) that I am absolutely certain I do not have. I have long since decided that it would be best for everyone if I continue to be a bemused bystander. Elsa: I resemble that.

And every time I read one, I dread the day I have any of mine. I've always wanted identical twin boys, at least they won't be jealous of each other (hopefully!) Alek looks fierce and I believe he can indeed defend himself better than you can protect him ;) I love watching your children growing up, through the monthly reports.
