You're so lucky, haven't you had a boy first go nearly every generation? But so very neat as well as mean.

Love the picture of Carolina scaring Jan. :D

I have been really lucky. The only non-firstborn male was when Carolina had Anne and Diana first go, and then Henri and Matthew the second time. So technically, Matthew is 4th-born. I must say though, for plot purposes, boys first kinda sucks. No tension, no "oh-crap-what-happens-if-I-don't-get-a-boy" moments. But I still have 4 genrations to go. Plenty of time for that.

I almost missed Carolina getting Jan. She's done it before, but I laugh each and every time. Jan is the only on that Carolina seems to scare. I love how the game can deliver poetic justice.

Yay baby! And yay for not HAVING to have an heir later. :D Admittedly, it would add plot if you had girls first repeatedly, or a younger son who wanted to be heir, but do you really want to have to wait for your 7th main house kid before getting an heir as Cait did?

Believe me, I'm not complaining about stressing over an heir. I saw what Cait went through, and the family is big enough without needing 7 or 8 kids in the main household. But a firstborn girl would be nice, provided that a brother came along shortly there after.
