PDA

View Full Version : lil' maj numero dos



Major Harris
January-8th-2007, 05:47 PM
just found out recently that majorette is pregnant. pretty sure we got it right the first time w/ lil' maj, but we decided to give it another shot.

i'm hoping for a girl. i really wouldn't mind another boy. going into parenting, once we decided on two kids, i knew i wanted a boy and a girl. i knew i could handle two boys. i did not, in any way, want two girls, so it was good to have a boy first. :laugh:

the wife goes tomorrow for the first ultrasound, so we'll have a date then. we're thinking early july. our son was born on my mothers birthday (4/30), so it'd be neat if this one came on my mother-in-law's birthday (7/5).


needless to say, i am very excited. nothing tops fatherhood. greatest thing ever. eli is already talking about how much he'll love and care for his little sister (he's thinking girl as well). he'll be a great big brother.

Congrats Major. It was a pleasure meeting you at the ES Tailgate this year and best wishes to you and your family. Mrs. G-Fox will be giving birth to our son in about 30 days...a little brother for our 4 year old daughter and 11 year old son. As you stated...there is nothing better in life than fatherhood. Well...the moment of conception is a close second. :)

thanks for all the well wishes guys and gals. my wife just left for the ultrasound. we didn't want to take eli to this one since she's getting examed and will be there for a while, so i got to take the day off to babysit. :D



Congratulations. Raise him/her right. And be a good dad.


eli sings "hail to the redskins" already, so i'm doing something right. ;)



Done. :)

thanks, sol.


Congrats man :cheers: I got lucky with a boy and a girl, hope it works out for you if thats what you and your wife want.

i've got a good feeling. don't know why, but i'm sure there's a girl in there.

ha! very true about conception. it was a pleasure meeting you, as well, gfox. and congrats on your new arrival. :cheers:


u should name your other son if it were a boy, peyton..

then you would have lil eli and peyton whatever your last name is.. i hope its manning :)


funny you say that. we picked eli's name, and he was born the year eli was drafted. i had every intention of being an eli fan due to circumstance, then, i guess due to circumstance, i had to hate him. :laugh:



Congratulations! :cheers:

Now watch them both enroll at Virginia Tech

i swear, you are the devil. :laugh:


Congrat's...your boys can still swim!

Congrats man. Life gets much more interesting with 2 kids! Perhaps your time on ES may begin to dwindle. :)

You know, I was scared to death knowing my first child was going to be a girl. I always wanted boys and only boys.
Now, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! I know you will be happy with whatever you get as long as he/she is healthy, but having a little girl is great!
I hope everything goes well for y'all and you both survive this 2nd pregnancy with your sanity intact! :cheers:

Merlin, I don't know if you were able to determine this from the thread but Major is married and is having a kid. I think that means you can stop flirting with him like a middle on the message board.

Congrats Maj. definately good to wish for the boy first so he can look after the younger sister and keep her out of trouble.

You'll warm up to the idea of having another boy rather quickly. I really wanted a girl, but ended up with 2 boys...and have no regrets. They're both awesome...wild, but awesome!
