Dependent exemptions were eliminated in favor of higher standard deduction amounts a few years ago. Eliminated the need to jump on expectant moms belly on Dec 31.

Great news. If you are one post wouldn't your third kid be four post?

I'm old but I would enjoy going through early fatherhood again

Once my kids got older I was pretty happy not to have to deal with "little kid" stuff anymore but lately I have been imagining how cool it would be to be a grandfather and have a little baby in the family again. Maybe in a few more years.

I don’t think that’s correct. True for most charitable deductions though.

It’s definitely not true but I don’t want to turn a joke into a tax discussion.

Yesterday Mrs. Post walked into the home office where I was working and asked me to come upstairs to talk about something. I could tell it wasn’t run of the mill stuff, but figured our oldest son Two Post (8) said or asked something that was a difficult proposition. When I went upstairs Mrs. Post showed me a pregnancy test.

I have always wanted a third child, Mrs. Post wanted just the two we had (Three Post is 6). She pulls a bit more weight in that decision so I accepted we would have two great kids. I have a blessed, wonderful and fulfilling life in every way, family foremost. I never would have had serious regrets about having only two kids, but would have always though a third would have been icing on the cake. Since shortly after the birth of Three Post we have used, more or less, impenetrable birth control so it never crossed my mind we would have a third kid because Mrs. Post has always made her feelings known when I have broached the subject.

We have a long way to go and at this point the outcome is more likely to end in disappointment due to age and some other issues, but yesterday was and probably forever will be the happiest day of my life. We obviously can’t tell anyone IRL anytime soon, but I had to tell someone.
