An unrealized prospect...

As some of you may know, or are about to find out, I stumbled upon a startling realization early in my pregnancy: If the twins turned out to be boys I, Brittaney Danelle Meyer, would have more penises than anyone else in the room. I guess, seeing as I am frequently in rooms where I do not intimately know everyone, that this could occasionally fail to be true... but I digress. The point here is that I would have definitely beat Ryan out, and any day that I can win a debate between the two of us is, in my book, a very good day. However, I am sorry to say, in a not at all disappointed way, that this is a dream I may never realize because, as it turns out, Arnold and Danny (Uncle Joel-C has assured us that the nicknames are here to stay) are indeed of the female persuasion. I must say, although I am sad to see my potential "winner" title go, I am very excited for two little girls. First of all, they will be the only Houx girls (Joy's side of the family) in their generation thus far and, even if they go back two generations, they only have to share the title with their Auntie Kyla. And, although I have lost the penis battle with my spouse I am winning the gender one by a landslide. Poor Ryan will have only Wendel the turtle to do some male bonding with in this house because Ayla, Cooper, Annabelle, Arnold, Danny and I are firmly planted on the "girl power" side of the fence. :)
