Geeky Talks
Sugar and spice? Or Snips and Snails?
The thing about the Internet, is that sometimes it can be a sour place with hate and darkness. At other times, like today, when all of you are clamoring to hear the news of our next baby, to share in the gender war, to be here with us when we hear great news, I think I fall in love with The Internet like it’s the first day we met and you are wearing the same suit you wore that one night we walked down by the pier and talked all night.
Good times. Good times.
I know you want to hear that CB is healthy. CB’s spinal chord looks great and baby’s heartbeat was strong and wonderful. CB was moving around so much that at one point the technician says, “Active little bugger. Just like the older one there, hu?” as she glances up at my toddler who hasn’t been able to stop talking since she walked in the room OR sit down in a chair without sliding off. She looks at me with sympathy and a knowing look. “I have two very active kids. They’re fun. But I went gray early.”
LB kept saying how she wanted a baby sister. BABY SISTER! She watched the baby on the TV and asked every thirty seconds, “Baby sister?” We
got to see all the healthy bits first before she tried for the between-the-legs shot.
When she tried, CB wouldn’t cooperate.
She tried again. CB wouldn’t budge.
She jiggled my belly and rolls of new baby fat rebounded against the ultrasound wand. Finally, CB lifted the legs just enough…
And that*, ladies and gentlemen, are what little boys are made out of.
(*note to my son: This is the last time EVER that I will post a picture of your junk on the Internet. I promise.)

It’s a boy!!!
How is LB? Is she ok with a brother or does she even “get it”?
CONGRATS!!!!
Oh Congratulations!! I’m glad CB is healthy and everything went well. It’ll be frogs and snails and puppy dogs tails for both of us then!

Congrats! I’m so excited for you guys!!!
Tanks, LauraLou and Margaret!
Charla, she has no idea. We said, “is a baby brother ok?” and she says, “OK!”
Congratulations! That’s the cutest junk I’ve ever seen!
Wonderful news! Congratulations. Boys are fun. I married one.
Looks like you got your penis after all hahaha! Congrats!!!
congratulations!
YAY for tiny little penises! Well, YAY for ONE little tiny penis. If he has more than one, that would be really odd. But at least you could make money off them!
Oh wait. That would be wrong.
AND you’d have to violate your promise.
Should I just say “Happy Penis!” and move on?
WOOHOO! Now you have a nice rounded family just like you wanted!!
I have the cutest outfits for a little boy that I have nothing to do with (bought them for gifts but didn’t work out, I have girls too but no one to send those to, unless Erin has a GIRL!) So I will send them to you later.
I hope that your boys are as nice and grounded like mine
Wonderful news. The (first) profile picture is amazing. You really get a sense of what he might look like. Congratulations!
Congratulations!! I knew it! Now you get your fifty bucks. Don’t spend it all in one place.
Congratulations, You got your little baby boy! I was gonna comment on how sweet his little profile was too! YAY!!! XOXOXO
Congrats girly!
This is the last time EVER that I will post a picture of your junk on the Internet.
Mwaa haa haaa haa haa.
Hey I bet he will keep LB on her toes!
Christa, I actually plan on posting several comparison shots of CB and LB and I’m wondering if he has her nose already.
Here’s to more family Christmases of “oh, he looks JUST LIKE MISTER FLINGER.”
damnit!
Congrats! I’ll save the cute lil’ boy outfit you got my son for your son!
Congrats!!! Boys are so fun! I’m expecting to see the noodle myself next Monday at my u/s. I just know I’m destined to only have boys. Which is ok. The second one just has to wear the dresses and hairclippies.
Congrats again! A healthy baby is the best news of all.
Oh Wow! Congrats on your SON!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Leslie! Welcome to the ‘BOYS CLUB’! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Now here comes the fun. I had my daughter first then my first son 18 months later. They are almost 20 and 18 and get along great but there was a time around about the ages of 5 and 7 that they fought alot.
My secret ( which I stumbled on completely by accident) I used to make them face each other, wrap their arms around the other and hug until I said they could let go. I had to hold their hands together or they’d try to take off. Evil?, I know. They hated it but it worked everytime and it was harmless.
Keep that little nugget of info in your aresenal for later.
heeheeheehee.
BTW- they are huggers today, each other and just about anyone else. So no harm done.
Hooray! I’m so happy for you. Congratulations on Mommy’s little boy.
I bet that’s the first time you’ve been so excited to see a teeny tiny penis! Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations! One of each, that’s great!
Congratulations!!! It’s so wonderful when God blesses us with what our hearts desire. I’m so glad you got what you quietly wanted.
YAY!!!!! I’m so happy for you. You got yerself a little fambly there!
And best of all… he’s healthy.
CONGRATS DARLIN!!!
Congrats! That’s very exciting news.
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Glad that he is healthy and all looks good!
YAY! Congrats!
Yeah! I love little boys. They aren’t as high maintenance and they can be so much fun. Congratulations!
I do believe when you had your first unscientific poll, I said boy.
Yeah for me.
I guessed correctly.
And yeah for you, welcome to the insanity of little boys, just keep him alive until he hits about Kindergarten and then he’ll only want you to make his meals and find his socks and will spend the rest of his waking hours wanting to play video games.
I was hoping you’d find out “boy”!! Congrats!!
Congrats!!!! Give me some advice on how to concieve a boy. I need it!!!!
I am so excited for you flingers!!!!! Can’t wait to here the name!~
Congrats! Boys are fun…just remember when changing his diaper to cover his little who who with a wipe of something so you don’t get an unexpected shower. :D
AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It a BOY!!! Congrats! How Perfect is this!! I just want to Jump into the screen and give you a big HUG!!
I’m so happy for the Flingers fam! Love, KC!
P.S. That was my vote
Whee! Fabulous!
Aiiieeeee!!!!! A boy. I am so excited for you!Too bad for LB, but she’ll get used to it.
Boys are awesome. They just love on mommy!
Thank you, everyone. I can’t tell you how great it is to share such wonderful news with you all!! We truly are excited.
Even with the prospect of pee covered toilet seats.
wow - congratulaations!
how exciting! I’m so happy for you!
and I still say I love having little kids close in age.
Congrats to all of you!!!! What a lucky little boy!!!
Yay! Congrats on the little boy!
(btw, kids have the weirdest 6th sense, so maybe LB’s telling you next time you get pregnant it’ll be a boy… I’ll spare you my own weirdness on this end though)
A boy! Now you’ll have a mixed set!
I’m so glad for you.
I think that sweet baby is going to be giving Mr. Cheeks a run for his money in the cheeks department.
Way to go in the penis!
Congratulations on a healthy baby brother - that is fantastic news!!!
I never could see a darn thing in those ultrasounds, but I think even I could identify that penis. Please tell Baby Boy Flinger that this is the last time I’ll comment on his junk.
Congrats!!!! I am so excited you are having a boy!!! how wonderful
little boys are awesome! !!!
Well, Howdy, li’l pardner!!! Nice gun yer sportin’!
Congrats!!!!!
I already e-mailed you. I just wanted to be #72.
Congratulations on a healthy, active, little fella.
Yippee!
How can you be this far along already?!! Holy crap! CB must be superbaby, growing at the speed of light like this. A little boy ... a little brother for LB. I’m so envious! I’ll never be able to raise a little boy; I really wanted to see what it would be like. Guess I’ll have to keep stalking your blog so I can live vicariously through you.
Congratulations! Just what you wanted! You better get ready to be inducted into the world of trains, trucks, cars, and tractors! Yay for little boys!
omg!! YAHOO FOR YOU!!!!
so cute, so precious
our nurse called it a “turtle” and i hadn’t a clue what she meant, but i just smiled and nodded until it sunk in.
YIPPEE for you!!!!!!!
Mazel Tov! Now of course, we will all want to know the NAME!! Because we are nothing if not nosy. Well, I am.
He is beautiful!
Congratulations, Mrs. Flinger - and what cute little junk, it is!
Haven’t posted in a while, but wanted to say CONGRATS!
Ryan is at an age where the world literally revolved around me and he tells me DAILY how much he loves me and that I am pretty like a princess. See? What could be better than that?
Boys are so much fun
I can’t believe I’m just getting around to reading this! A boy!! That’s great. Congrats.
Congratulations, Flingers! And, as you know from following occasionally the adventures of Isaac and Jacob, little boys are where it’s AT, yo.
Congratulations on the little boy!! They rock!
