I have twins.  We had a 3-year old (boy) and a 1-year old (boy) at home, and I can vaguely remember telling my wife that if we were going to try for a girl, we needed to do it "now", circa   January 2000, because I couldn't imagine waiting five years, due to how tired I was already from our oldest sons.

6 months later, I received a phone call from my wife, who said that the OBGYN's office had decided to perform an ultrasound that day.  Walked into the exam room, only to find my wife, 2 midwives, and 2 ultrasound technicians in the room, along with her OBGYN, who also happened to live in our neighborhood (we both had an affinity for Friday night bourbons on the back deck together).

She asked me how I was doing, and when I replied "nervous.  I want to hear it's a girl" she blurted out "well you're going to , because it's two boys..."  Only time in my life I've looked for a chair to sit down in, I was so overwhelmed.  All great kids, wouldn't trade them for the world, and would like to make the clock slow down some.

Interestingly, my oldest is receiving interest from SU for crew--he's 16, and only a sophomore, but can really row.  His grandfather and great-grandfather were both full-scholarship members of the crew team @ SU. Makes me wish I would have listened to my dad while at Syracuse and gone out for the team, but I did not grow up in an area where we had that sport in high school.  Would love to keep the bloodlines clean with my son, who also has a love for architecture.  :)
