In case you missed my update over here (I’m still snickering to myself over the title of that post, oh ho ho ho ho I kill me), the results from the ultrasound are as follows:
• Everything is normal
• Also, the fetus has a dong
We’re having another boy, and I’m so thrilled and excited and I’m surprised to find that I’m also a little sad over the girl we won’t have, but still: thrilled. Excited. The news is good.
Look, isn’t he adorable?
(Aw, who’s a little Skeletor monkey-head? Why, you are! Yes you are!)
I’m going to be the mother of two little boys, which is sort of amazing and crazy and wonderful. All day I’ve been thinking about how my life has unfurled in the last few years to reveal all these new experiences, and how grateful I am. For everything.
:::
New post at Milk and Cookies goes up tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, where I recommend popcorn, Brazilian music, and stinky hippie oil. Come visit!

Yay dong! Congrats!
Congrats!! I am due with my second girl and I was shocked when I reacted with dissapointment on finding out it was a girl. Months pass by and as the baby grows I don’t care anymore but still that initial reaction that I had startled me. Now get used to being asked the tiring question “Will you try again” from everyone!
In the end a healthy happy baby is what counts.
Awesome news! I have two boys, and the only thing they have in common is the appendage, really - they couldn’t be more different, so don’t assume you’ve got boys all figured out! When I see mothers with girls I sometimes wish I had a real-life doll of my own so I could fiddle with its hair and pick out Barbie outfits and stuff. Then they start with that high-pitched squealing or some saccharine my-little-ponyish obsession, and I’m happy with what I got =)
Yay, congrats! :)
Congratulations! What fun to find out you’re having a boy! I can’t wait to hear what JB and Riley think of the news. This one looks like something special - he’s already blowing smoke rings in there.
Thanks for the update and the picture :)
Woohoo! Congrats! Prepare for the mischief and actual physical pissing contests, and all the cuteness your heart can handle. :)
There hasn’t been a girl-baby in my family in 17 years, and so at age 30, with no kids (or boyfriend, not that we are talking about that) all family members are glaring at me (GLARING) about producing a girl. Which makes me feel very glad that I live 900 miles from any other family member.
But who cares about that! Sundry Boy Numero Duo!!!!! Another Sweet Baby Suspicious!!!!! The innernets, they are overjoyed for y’all. I cannot wait for the first picture of Riley and Secontupus glaring suspiciously at each other:
Riley: “I was here first, homes. You’d best back the hells off.”
Secondopus: “I am small and squishy. You cannot resist me.”
Seriously, Linda, so glad everything is fine and healthy and well…ween-tastic.
Your finely-honed scrotal poop-wiping skills will continue to serve you!
CONGRATS! I love you as a boy mom.
That came out wrong.
I am so thrilled for you. How exciting!
There is something so cute about two little boys- brothers!
I love having two little boys. Although, I have decided I am totally going to teach them to be sit n’ peepeeRs.
Congratulations!! And yes, he IS adorable!
Wow, it’s so startlingly clear. Gives you pause doesn’t it…
Dare I say he looks like Riley a little? I’m thinking shape of head, nose…it will be nice to be introduced to the little guy.
WOO, congratulations!!! Very exciting to find out :)
Yay for an awesome boy! I am thrilled for you and all the men in your house.
oh my gosh, what the heck are you going to do with yourself? you are going to be so overwhelmed with cuteness that you are going to squeal yourself into non existance….or at least i would, lol.
Congrats Linda and JB, your children deserve you :)
Aww, congrats! I had a feeling you would be having another boy…hopefully this one will be a little bit more mellow just so you don’t go over the edge with two challenging boys. ;)
Congrats AGAIN!
Boys are wonderful!
I felt the same, its perfectly natural, the American dream, a boy a girl. I wanted a girl so bad I could taste it, and then I found out he had a dong…Actually I still want a girl, but not instead of my beautiful little boy who is more than I could have ever imagined. And my boys together, oh my, just too cute. When my older son falls down, and fakes inability to get up, and hollers help, Dylan does his 2 year old odd man walk, saying under his breath “bubby”, and goes and takes his hand and pulls him up. They are too cute.
Yay for boys! Yay for brothers! Yay for getting to reuse the fox-saying-”What?!” shirt!
Missbanshee, you are so funny! I wanted to click right through to your blog–but there was no blog link. WRITE A BLOG SO I CAN CLICK THROUGH TO IT!
Forgot to say I laughed and laughed over “Also, the fetus has a dong” and “Aw, who’s a little Skeletor monkey-head?”
I too am interested to know how his ultrasound photo compares to Riley’s. It’s a GREAT profile shot, and it gives me that “Riley” feeling.
When I found out my second was a boy, I was happy and sad. I’d made pro and con lists for girl vs boy, so I focused on my reasons for wanting a boy–but I had a longer list for girl.
One of my biggest “trying to imagine infinity” thoughts was “This will be a boy–but a boy who is not Robert.” It is totally fun and exciting.
Wow! Just wow! Congrats!
This is gonna be fun!
Congrats!
Congratulations! I am the mother of two little boys (15 months and nearly 4 years) and it is the best thing ever. I too was a little sad after my ultrasound revealed we weren’t having the girl I just KNEW we’d have, but I quickly got over it. And now, watching my boys wrestle and beat each other up and laugh together I don’t think I would have wanted it any other way.
My guess was off-but who cares?!-Congrats on the healthy little boy growing inside of you!!!
That is RAD. Honestly, there is something special about mothers of boys (and it’s not just that sometimes their houses smell like the locker room at a hockey rink). You guys are an adorable family and another boy just…fits. Perfectly. CONGRATULATIONS on your new Skeletor monkey-head!
When I first read “the fetus has a dong” I read it as “the fetus is a dog” LOL… ummmm yeahhhh I think I should go back to bed and start my day over. So CONGRATS Linda on both having another healthy baby boy, and most importantly, not having a dog. Although, then you wouldn’t have to “touch up” the ultrasound when you show it to JB mwhahaha
My niece has two little boys (7 & almost 3) and they are as different as night and day, but always playing together (and fighting!) I know they keep my niece hopping, but it’s so cute to watch them play cars together and farm the living room. They are really big into farming since they have a grandpa who is a farmer. They spend a great deal of time harvesting corn in the living room …
I’m with you Erin…I read it as “the fetus has a dog…
Yay, Congratulations on a healthy baby boy!
Two boys. Wow. Congrats!!! and uhm… Don’t fire the housekeeper. I have one rugrat and she’s a girly girl. (We took the Highlander approach to children: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE) So, if you ever go into glitter and pink withdrawals, call me and I’ll ship mine over.
Congratulations!
I actually had a dream last night that my family and I visited you and your kitchen was STILL under construction, you looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked why the downstairs bathroom didn’t have a toilet in it, and Riley’s room was HUUUUGGGGEEEE - like 1,000 sq ft huge, covered with toys on every surface, multiple levels, with an enormous bed that you were so happy about from Ikea. It was an interesting dream to say the least.
I couldn’t wait to get to work today to find out what you’re having. Good thing Dog and Cat are estrogen monkeys… you’d be lost in all the testosterone.
Can’t wait to see the little boy!

Congratulations!
I, too, am the mother of two little boys. It’s the most awsome thing ever!
I am so, totally excited for you! I just had my first boy after 2 girls and I never knew. I just never knew how special they were. SO, congratulations! I can’t wait to see his cute little self!
Thanks for letting us share all this with you.
Boys just plain rock. I have 2 of them, one in Jr high and the other in 5th grade and let me tell you- BOYS ROCK!
Congrats! A happy healthy baby is all that matters (and you know that of course!!)
Congrats!
YAY! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another cutie wutie!!!
Alas, I too read, “The fetus is a dog.”
I knew it was another boy. Congratulations! “Skeletor monkey head” killed me, as well as missbanshee’s comment. This post has just brightened up my cubicle. Thanks.
=)
Glorious! I’ve always dreamed of being a mother of two boys. You will rock it.
Congratulations!
Yay, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Well, you already are a pro @ cleaning out the scrotum! Congrats on growing a dong-bearing fetus!
Congrats!
Skeletor monkey head looks suspicious… and Missbanshee’s dialogue cracked me up! Thanks for the photo!
AWWWWWW. Suctopus and his baby brother Skeletor! I imagine Riley will be exceedingly suspicious of the new monkey head in the house, but luckily he will recognize that he also has the SAME THING between his legs, therefore perhaps allaying his apprehension a bit. Or not, because who can ever predict a child’s reaction to something.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
Congratulations on producing another adorable dong-bearer! You guys are such great boy parents that it’s only right you get another one. :)
congrats on the little skeletor. with a dong. :)
Congratulations!!! I’m the mother of two boys and I can tell you it is a wonderful, crazy fun experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world. They are now 13 and 14 and although the teenage years are here and crazy I have enjoyed every moment of being their mom.
Maura
Little boys are the best, congratulations!
Congrats!! Very exciting. Also, it looks like secondopus is waving at you.
Even though I know that’s not his hand…
I forgot to ask, any names yet?
You know what’s best? When you have a GIRL after having two boys. Especially if you wait 5 years after the last boy. Not that i’d know.. ;-)
Little boys just melt my heart. And two?! Double-melt… congratulations! :o)
I had that same feeling of mourning the baby whose gender did not appear. It is like I had TWO babies in my imagination and I had to say goodbye to the one who was not really there. Okay. That was depressing, sorry bout that.
What I meant to say was CONGRATULATIONS! That is a awesome profile shot. He is destined to be a looker! It will be so great to have boys who can grow up to be good friends and good caretakers of their mother! :)
Hey, congratulations! So if this one turns out to be very different from Riley, I’m trying to picture what a “totally trusting” facial expression looks like. :)
Holy cow does he look like Riley.
Girl, you in trouble. And damn you’re have one cute household (of sure-fire trouble).
Congratulations! Vienna Sausage Party - LOL!
As a mama of two little boys- ages 2 and not quite 4, CONGRATULATIONS! It is the best of times and the worst of times. Often within the same hour! But I wouldn’t change a thing for all the money in the world.
I am so happy for you and your beautiful family. And get used to people asking about baby number three! I get asked that A LOT! I’m okay with that, because I DO want to try for a girl!!
I have 2 boys that are close in age (my first two) and they are the best of friends. Two little boys is PERFECT! Congratulations!
Congratulations. de-lurking to let you know how happy I am for you.
I love your blog, BTW.
Jennifer
Good luck with that!
I am alternately excited for you and very.very.scared for you.
Two boys. sheesh. What a riot!
You will never be able to go through the living room without stepping on a lego or a toy car.
BUT, at least you get to use all of those adorable clothes again.
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one that refers to their child as “Skeletor!” We are not finding out the sex of our baby and while I’m dying for a girl I’m convinced it’s a boy. Glad to hear you like them so much, it gives me hope!
Congrats…..I am so glad I am not the only one that thought my boy looked “skeletor” at 20 weeks!
Congrats!!! I have two boys, two years apart. When I found out my second was a boy, I cried for about five seconds–three tears–because he wasn’t a girl, and then got on with it. Boys are great. They’ll be great friends, hate each other as teenagers, and then be great friends again as adults, and you can buy cute, expensive clothes because they’ll be worn twice!
Congrats!! And since you already have little boy stuff from when Riley was a wee mite, just think of what you’ll save! :)
Congratulations, Linda - I’ve been so swamped at work I’ve been lax in my commenting but I am always lurking and living vicariously through you, of course. I am happy for you and your third weiner in the house - I can’t wait to see him (outside of your body). He’s very handsome already, I think. Enjoy your pregnancy - I am now insanely jealous. Need to get pregnant soon.
Congrats! Two boys are fun, Fun, FUN!
Yay, a boy! How cool, Riley will have a little brother. Also, I’m dying to know, what’re you naming him?
Har! I told you JB’s man seed was way too packed with testosterone and sweaty, bloody, manliness to sire a little girl. No naked barbies strewn about in your future. (or at least not yet) Only guns and swords and creepy little bastards the boys will find outside and bring in to show you. Plenty o’ scars and broken bones and stiches to be had. I’m just throwing this out there, but have you considered Conan or Rambo for names. Just a thought.
based on this wonderful news, i have a book (actually a graphic novel *series*) recommendation for you: Y The Last Man
:-)
