Just found out we're having a boy! I'm in shock, as one of 6 girls I never thought we'd have a boy in the family! So excited!
My mum is one of 4 girls, her mum is one of 7 girls.
We already have one girl, 3 of my sisters have at least 2 girls..
This is such a big deal, I'm honoured!!
What would you name him? I feel it needs to be the most masculine name ever haha!
Ps tell me about your lovely sons, I'm so excited to have my own!

Reuben I think means 'behold a son' which I think could be quite fitting.

I was the first girl born on my father's side of the family since his grandmother(and more than 30 births) so it was a pretty huge deal when I came along (I have 7 brothers and my dad was one of 6 boys all of whom had boys too).
I'm named after a tree native to my country of birth but my 1st middle name means 'sacred'.
