Real Boys Wear Pink

Christy has already bought thousands of outfits for Paco. Now we don't know if Paco is a Boy or Girl yet so she can't get to cute in her selections. I have told her to wait until we have a baby in our arms to buy clothes.

Diapers are enough for the first 6 months. Maybe, even longer.

Diapers and Blankets - Why would you need anything else?

Christy came home with this sweatshirt and I told her that I would let my boy wear it.


Her response was "you will not be dressing our child."

She said it like I was being punished.

I don't think she understands that the child will have a mother - so of course I will not be dressing the child.
DUH.

Except of course, when I babysit.

My statement though did have one important effect. It slowed down her clothes buying for at least a day.
And when she started back-up I have yet to see a pink outfit.

My big question though is - while I would understand this would be a girls outfit if it had a pink pony, flower, or princess, but when did CUPCAKES become a girls only item? Boys like cupcakes too.

And Real Boys Wear Pink.

You can put the sweatshirt on the boy, but the pants? I think that is really the problem.
When did Christy get so much free time to shop?

Love that you're blogging again!

#1 No boy of my will be wearing a pink cupcake and since you seem to think diapers and blankets are appropriate attire for the first 6 months I have no worries of you ever dressing Paco :p

#2 "babysit"???!!! for the millionth time you cannot "babysit" your own child. It is commonly referred to as
parenting"

Poor naked un-parented Paco....

Cyn,

Okay, maybe she hasn't bought thousands of items yet. How about three. Which is three more then I am ready to own.

And right now, I have to blog fast. I only have two more days to make sex jokes.

3? She's bought 3 outfits and the cupcake sweatshirt was one of them?

I didn't realize we were all unaware of who wears the pants.

Christy tells me that she is just training me for when we have a daughter.

This future girl (Paca) in my life will be the boss of all bosses.

I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children

Since we are talking about other blogs that inspire a post I will point to Xbox4NappyRash: The seventh sense in which he talks about developing a 7th sense - the ability to see infertile people. I got it a little different - I See Pregnant Women....And Small Children. When I was a small child I would go to the beach and see other small children. Others like me to play with in the sand. Then as I got a little bit older I became interested in the basketball court near the beach and was aware of the other basketball players that where on the court. As a got still older, I became aware of the girls in the bikini's at the beach. All of a sudden they were everywhere - and they were the only ones on the beach. Recently, when I go to the beach I see Pregnant Women....And Small Children all over the place. I constantly have to work hard not to step on them as they play in the surf. These young families are new to the beach. They have never been there before now - yet now they are all of the...

Mr. Inspiring

Check it out! Someone thinks that I am inspiring. Really! go to Our Surrogacy Adventure and read how I inspired her post, but notice that I didn't inspire her enough to be added to her blogroll. This is what I am talking about when I say that we meet new friends on our adventure. This would be a prime example. Take note, if you women that are reading my blog want me to post more that is how you get it done - stroke my ego. Men really are that simple. Now here is my response to the heart of her post - why do I blog? This is the point when almost everyone says "so that friends and family can follow our journey". That's not me. I want my family to be able to enjoy the excitement of our new addition and don't want to take them on the rollercoaster ride with us. They are really supportive, but we have to go through enough already without taking our entourage with us every step of the way. We just want to give them the happy days. So then, who is the audience that I wa...

Lost and Found and Connections Abound

I just got listed as a new blog by Mel at Lost and Found and Connections Abound. For those of you coming to my site for the first time here is a quick summary. I am an Intended father writing about surrogacy from the straight males perspective.  It seems weird to need to add the word straight when describing myself, but all the male blogs that I can find on Surrogacy seem to be from a gay males perspective.  Christy and I have been working on the baby project for around 2 years with many highs and lows. We are currently building our team for a new run. This time around we expect to have two surrogates at the same time which will help make it an exciting ride for everyone. This is the background for our story. Please read some of my posts and feel free to ask me some questions.
