Many of my Twitter followers probably saw already. My wife and I went in for an ultrasound to determine the gender of our second child. And yes….

I’m going to have a son.

My wife will be putting a scan of the ultrasound on her blog, and I’m not going to steal her thunder on that one.

I’m excited. I was actually 100% fine either way. Had no preferences. For a father, there is something special about “daddy’s little girl”. Yet, there is also something that a father and son share that is unique. Either way, I’m good.

It is exciting to have one of each, however. Best (and worse) of both worlds. It is the full spectrum of child ups and downs. It will, no doubt, be an adventure.

As my brother said:

Most couples want one of each – you guys are very lucky in the kid department. So easy, so quick, and good results.

He also said…

It’s a Risley, must have been easy to tell.

Hey, that’s just how we roll.
