Let me add my congratulations and best wishes. If I remember aright, your first was also a boy, n'est-ce pas?

As the father of 3 sons, no girls, I can tell you that if they are both boys, and any other future arrivals are boys, you have the best situation, child-wise. Seeing what goes on these days, if I had a daughter nowadays, I'd lock her in the cellar on her 10th birthday and let her out on her 21st.

I like the name, Simon, too. Curious that Biblical names are now in vogue again. My sons are 38, 34 and 30 and back when we named one Stephen Bartholomew and one Andrew David, they were thought to have very old-fashioned monikers (like we would think of Hezekiah or Nahum). If you tend to be a little vague, or not making a lot of sense in postings, we'll put it down to insufficient sleep.
