We’re now just two weeks from our next major milestone… finding out the answer to the big question, boy or girl.
Oddly, a lot of people keep saying, “you’re going to ruin the surprise”. I disagree. It’s going to be just as much a surprise on November 20th in the doctor’s office as it will be in April in the delivery room. Not to mention, this way we can start decorating the room in flowers or footballs sooner.
For whatever reason everyone assumes I want a boy and Melissa wants a girl. The latter is true. Melissa really wants a girl. Something about already raising a “little boy” in the house. I’m not sure, but that might be a shot at me.
As for me, well, a boy would be nice. I know boys. I used to be one. I love toys, trucks, dirt, bugs, and poop jokes. Seriously, the word “doodie” can keep me giggling for hours.
Girls? I’ll take one of those too. But here’s the problem. I don’t understand women now… so how could I raise one?
Besides, girls scare me… here’s my list why:
Diaper changing- Boys parts are on the outside, girls are not. Enough said.
High-Pitch squealing- So loud, so high pitched.
Barbie, American Girl, dolls, etc.- Dress the doll, undress it, dress it again, repeat. Really, this is fun?
Drama- Girls are drama. Drama over clothes. Drama over boys. Drama over other girls. And it gets worse as they get older, which leads us too…
Dating- We haven’t had our baby, and I’m already dreading the first date for one simple reason…
Boys- I know how boys think, and I’m supposed to trust one with my daughter? I’d rather father the predator than the prey.
Ok, maybe I am leaning toward a boy. We’ll find out in two weeks.
I didn't realize your baby's due date is in April too. April 14th for us. We find out "hamburger or hotdog" this Friday. We want one of each, and this is our first so it's not too big a deal which it is. Still, I'm leaning toward girl, and my husband's leaning toward boy. Probably for all those reasons you just stated! Let me assure you, though, not all girls are excited about Barbie and other dolls. I never was. You can still get her to play with toy trucks and footballs. Keeping the boys away? Well...good luck with that one! :)
