Outnumbered by females

     Its been a few months now since our youngest daughter, Erykah was born. Its amazing how fast children grown right before your eyes. Feels like we just had Mikaylah but at 20months old, she is now the older sister. Though she acts like the baby baby, I am admiring the bond that the two of them are making.

Kim and I have been dating. . umm . . uhhh .. say 11yrs now and wham! 2 girls pop out back to back. Its amazing how a persons life can change around so fast. Its one thing to hear about it and another to actually be the one in the situation.  lol . .. guess you have to be careful what you ask for.
I say this for 2 reasons:

• I've wanted to have kids for the last 5yrs. married or not.
• I've always enjoyed the company of females. (for conversation of course)

Got my wish . . I am surrounded by girls. I forgot to mention that my sister has 3 girls. As you can tell men are outnumbered in my family.  Its not a bad thing. Well as long as they know I am the man of the house! At least I know in the future that we will have a lot of nice home cooked meals.

All this and my friends and family keep asking me .. "Soooo . . when are you going to try for the baby boy?"

I think I'll wait a while before rolling the dice on # 3. . .

About Eric Poole

     My name is Eric Poole. aka Big E to my family and friends. Playing sports gives me a sense of belonging to a team and something more than myself. Growing up in the small town of Beltsville, MD (USA) I played soccer, baseball, football and basketball. Well basketball kind of grew on me or should i say i grew into it. As i am 6'8" now, which is not amazingly tall but you can imagine how i grew over the years as a teen.

I have played professional European basketball for the past 11yrs in various countries. Sweden, Switzerland, France, Germany, Latvia, and Belgium. Even a short stint in Argentina. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures. 

I Live with my girlfriend Kim, my 2 beautiful daughters Mikaylah (20mo) and Erykah (4mo) and also 2 mini pins (dogs) who guard my girls when I'm away.

I am an open person and generally positive about all situations to the point that i always think the glass is half full and not half-empty.  "Everyday is a blessing to behold.!" A day is too valuable to waste on misery and unhappiness. Even misery cannot stand up to a happy face and heart.

I am kind of new at blogging so lets just see where this takes us on my new journey of being a stay at home dad.
