My older brother just called to let me know that he and his wife are expecting a girl!
This is significant since she will be the first female born on either side of my family since my late cousin Amy (God rest her soul) twenty years ago.
Otherwise, the concentration of males in my family is quite high - my dad is one of five and has three brothers, one sister. My mom is one of three and has two brothers. Each of my aunts and uncles that have had children have boys except for my Uncle Brian who fathered my cousins Tara (Mugs' age) and Amy.
Now there will be a little girl by late March to be doted on and spoiled by a large family of semi-old-fashioned guys. Heaven help the grandparents :-)
