Girl or Boy

On Tuesday, December 4th, we'll find out if we're going to have a girl or a boy. Sometimes I'm asked, "Don't you want to be surprised?" Surprises are nice, but I know that our baby will be either a girl or a boy, so it won't be that much of a surprise (like when compared to finding out wifey was pregnant in the first place). Anyway, I think the shock of witnessing a human being eject a much smaller human being from their loins will be surprise enough for me. Then people say, "It's a good thing to find out so you'll be prepared." You'll know when you're on the receiving end though, that deciding what color one piece booty pajamas you should buy is probably not going to be a priority.

Family's thinking it'll be a boy, co-workers think it'll be a girl. (My friends just aren't giving their opinion.) I've got more girls on my side of the family, and wifey's got more boys. Any bets placed, the odds are pretty much 50/50.

And for the record, I have no preference. Diapers cost the same either way; I just have to know whether the absorbent pad goes in the front or the middle. And they'll still learn how to hold an Xbox controller (which comes in both pink and blue). Stay tuned...
