We are technically 8 weeks and 3 days into Baby #2. This means the baby should be due some time around the beginning of December (Crew's birthday is 12/1). Susie is terrified of a VBAC so we'll probably pick a day in week 38/39 that will be convenient.By the calendar, Simon would be 2007, and the new baby would be 2008...but they're on opposite ends of the Calendar. Cary and Kelvin were only 10 months apart (both born in 1975)...that would have been insane. (Kudos to Grandma/pa Ning)
We had a big pool at my office trying to figure out gender and hair-color which I'll eventually start-up again soon. But here are some of my thoughts regarding Pros and Cons for gender. Feel free to add comments for additions or criticisms.
Baby Boy:
- It'd be great for Simon to have a brother to romp around with
- We wouldn't have to buy any clothes for a long time
- Males are considered lucky in Chinese Culture
- We wouldn't have to save for college AND for the wedding
- Less drama overall
Baby Girl:
- Susie would lose her fear of having all boys
- Grandma Ning would be completely ecstatic (she still would be fine with a boy...)
- She would need all new clothes
- Who are we kidding...we'd have to fend off all the boys when she turns 14
- Simon would be able to look out for her

Congratulations Susie! My kids are all 21 months apart; great spacing! I hope you're feeling well. Simon's such a cutie! I hope things are going great for you guys! (Sara - Jamie's sister)
How exciting! Another cute Ning kid on the way. (Seriously, Simon is beyond cute!)
congrats, guys! i have now come to terms with the fact that we are having another boy. i'm just feeling a bit outnumbered... but that's okay. can't wait to hear what it is. i hope you're feeling okay, suzie. it's no fun chasing a little guy around while feeling like you need to run to the bathroom every other second!
Congratulations!!! Having two boys together is really fun. But having a girl was super fun too.... Either way, you'll love it! So excited for you.
Congratulations on Baby #2. Andrew and Peter are only 21 months apart and it has worked out great. I'm not going to lie, the beginning was extrememly difficult. But now that they are older, it couldn't be better. Keep us posted on gender and such!
yeah!!! congrats you guys...
Congrats . . . again. We are so excited for you guys. I think having 2 close together is the best, but we've already talked lots about that. If we have a boy and you guys have a girl, we could swap clothes. Perfect.
Congratulations, you guys! I am really excited for you and hope you're feeling okay. I'm still mad at Jeff for not telling me about Simon's party; looks like it was a lot of fun. I can't believe he's one!
