Big News . . .

Posted by Mary Beth on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Boy or Girl?

That’s what everyone keeps asking us and we still don’t know yet. The good news is that we will find out on December 6th, but for now we can only guess. My wife has a feeling that it’s a girl, but I couldn’t tell you either way. Some people say that if the heartbeat is above a certain number then that means it’s a girl, but of course that’s just an old wives’ tale. (Who are these old wives that just sit around making up stuff anyways?)

At this point we don’t really have a preference, but in the end we just want to know to that it’s a healthy baby. I think it would be really fun to have either a boy or a girl. Let’s hash out the advantages of each:

Boy:

  • Wrestling partner
  • Carry on the family name
  • Future golfing buddy
  • Don’t have to pay for the wedding :)
  • Father/son camping trips

Girl:

  • Much cuter
  • Daddy’s little girl (Need I say more?)
  • Father/daughter dates
  • Someone to play “dress up” with

I guess we’ll all find out on December 6th
