" Congats!! That is wonderful. My brother was raised with only woman and turned out great... he is alot more considerate of some things then other men... he never leaves the toilet seat up and has no problem with feminine products being left out...:) You guys will do just fine. All that really matters is to bring up a child in a loving and supportive house and the rest falls into place. Good luck Becca/sunnygirl "

Just watch out for those spraying diaper changes :) "
