what are the odds

This year, it is cool to be pregnant in my family.

From June 2010 to January 2011, we will have 7 new grandchildren. My sister in-law April just had a baby girl in June. My other sister in-law Emily is due literally any minute with twin girls (front). Next is Misha, due two weeks ahead of me in October with a girl. Then there's me, due October 26 with a girl. Then my sister Mara (not in the picture, she was out of town) is due at the beginning of December with... you guessed it, another girl. And then my sister Karyn (at the end) is due in January, but it's still too early to find out the sex of hers.


The odds of getting six out of six girls so far?

About 1.5%

The odds of going seven for seven?

About 3/4 of a percent.

This is the last baby for at least two of these ladies, maybe three. I'm so glad that I am starting my family now so that I can have a little one the same age as theirs! And it's just icing on the cake that they are all the same sex. Maybe we should all go in on an amazing old house in Provo for them to all be roommates in college! No matter what, I'm sure they will all be great friends.
