Hey Michelle,

Thankee ma'am .. on both counts. :-)

> OK, since you already know the sex, I'm thinking you're (um, I mean

There are witches here who can tell the sex the first month. ;-)

Thanks much. :-) I've been down that road .. 4 times. Its a first for

Tanya but she has a much younger brother so she's seen the road from the

sidelines. ;-)

I hear you .. that is .. feeling the bumps from the sidelines. ;-) I

was a father the first time at 20 .. a grandfather at 42 and am now a

father again at 62 +. My grand younguns might have some difficulty

learning to call my son " great uncle. " ;-)

Whether or not I had chosen to be a father at this stage in my life ..

I'd still be the same age I am now .. only difference would be .. one

less little boy in the world. :-)

And there is another advantage. Tanya's parents are great folks .. I

have talked with them by phone (with her translating) and they are happy

for us. But .. if that were not the case .. me being older than they

are, I couldn't be intimidated by my in-laws in the second place. ;-)

> All the best,

Thankee ma'am .. appreciated it is. :-) Butch
