I arrived home at about 5 two nights ago, and my wife told me she had a present for me. This was not a big deal, since my birthday was only a few days earlier. I figured she ordered something online, and it had come in that day. She gave me the little bag, and my two young ones gathered around. I was shocked when I pulled out a bib that read “I love my big sister”. Since our daughter is the youngest in the clan, I knew this meant another little one was on the way.
I am very thrilled at the idea of adding another child to the mix, so I had to share with everyone! The baby is due in early November, which will give us three kids under 6. The task seems daunting, but I know it is worth it.
So go out and get some nice bottle of wine to celebrate, and you can send me the bill.
Both of our children have names that start with “z”, so we are running out of options if we plan to keep this going. So far, we like Zeta for a girl, and Zane for a boy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hmmm…Maybe Zenster?
Hooray! I’m going to become an aunt next month, so I’ve been on this big baby kick. Hooray!!! Congrats, moejuck, 3 is a good number of kids to have (speaking as the third of three).
I have three little savages. It’s a good number, but you can’t play man-to-man. You have to drop back into a zone, bring in the nickel back and roll the safety over to the weak side, or they’ll kill you.
Mr. Mook is correct - they can smell fear. Flipping a coin will never again determine who goes first for any given activity. (I recommend carrying around a six-sided die.)
Also, once the newest can talk, they will never ever unanimously agree on a movie ever ever again.
I only have one and she isn’t even a 1 yet. Turns 11 months this week. I don’t know how people do it, this one keeps us busy all the time I couldn’t imagine adding anymore to the mix.
I’ve always liked the name Zoe. Means “life” in greek.
Foir names, I suggest calling moezygote Yasmin or Yosef and telling people “We’re working our way through the alphabet - backwards”. The facial expressions will be priceless.
Excellent advice, don’t forget about offsetting penalties. Anyone who takes a pantywaisted fall that was clearly a cry baby technique to get the other player into hot water receives a yellow card. After two yellow cards, earn a red card
( time out.) Go beyond that at it is a ten minute game misconduct. After that, hit the showers. Fines may follow.( A lovey in a time out. Privvies taken away.)
Better parenting through sports analogy.
Not only can they smell fear, they sense weakness and prey on it.
(And I only have two. This all comes from a cousin who has 6 boys and are expecting a 7th boy this spring.)
We have a Zara and a Zeke (short for Ezekiel). My wife likes Zoe, but it is hard to imagine naming my child after a Sesame Street character. Would anyone care to comment on my favorite name so far: Zeta?
Zaida - Good Fortune
Zandra - Defender of All
Zayit - Olive
Ziarre - Goddess of the Sky
Ziva - Splendor
Zuleika - Brilliant and Lovely
Zuri - Beautiful
Zytka - Rose Flower
I just took those from a baby name site, but those are MY favorites and the ones I think are least likely to get a kid beaten up. Unlike “Zoltan,” for instance.,
