This One's For the Girls

We had a humorous conversation Monday night over at Kristi and Joe's, and decided that whoever will produce a girl will be deemed the golden grandchild. Kinda funny, but there might be an element of truth in it. Apparently the Russell Y chromosome takes a few laps around the pool and spends some time lifting weights before being called to action. Here's why:

For those unfamiliar with Eric's family tree, we'll review it (for those who are, just amuse yourselves by reading other intellectually stimulating material): My paternal grandparents, Louis and Dorothy, had two boys--Tommy (my dad) and Michael (my late Uncle Mike). Mom and Dad had, yep, you guessed it--two boys. Uncle Mike had a boy and a girl. Uncle Mike's son, Steve, has had 2 kids, and you wanna know what they are? Yep--2 boys!! So out of my grandparents' 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren, there is exactly ONE girl (Kristi). Of course, this will be Joe's determining chromosome, so he'll probably mess it up for the rest of us. : )

Currently Kristi is on deck. Hopefully we will be soon. I'm not even gonna get into the "Do you want a boy or a girl?" question just yet. Kristi and Joe will be finding out in a 2 or 3 weeks what they're having. I guess I'll know then if all the pressure will be on Leah and me!!!
