Gender Wars

Is it a girl or boy? Do you want a girl or boy?

I get those two questions all the time. I got them last time too.

Tonight my nanny said that Leon was hugging on me more these days and that is a sign that I am having a girl.

Many have said because I haven't gained that much weight yet (I am about 10 pounds behind where I was last time) is proof that I am having a girl.

Others say I'm having a boy because of the position of the baby.

It's funny how many people won't just take "I don't care what I'm having" as an answer. They all really want me to say which one I want.

Let's see. A girl would be cool. Of course. I have a boy. So I girl would be cool. I could do her hair, dress her up, etc.

A boy would also be cool. Leon would have an instant playmate (not that he can't play with a sister but it's different). One woman with three boys said to me, boys are easier since when they get older they never steal your clothes, they never steal your makeup, you never have to worry about their hair, and they usually end up doing "male bonding" things with dad so you get more free time.

Jeff would like to know now. I think it's better to wait until it comes out.

What do you think?

  1. "it?" I couldn't wait to find out and I believe if I have another one, I'll find out then too. It's ultimately your choice to know or not. The doctor can tell Jeff and he can keep it from you (if he can). Either way, he or she will be a wonderful addition to your family. Good luck!!

  2. I think surprises are fun! And it would be neat for Jeff to know and try to keep it from you...lol! Is he good at keeping secrets? Or no?
