Bit early for talking about Sex...

Strange, but true I think - I am already hoping for a boy.

(Actually, I am hoping for a healthy baby, with all fingers and toes, no port wine stains and all faculties intact, but I digress).

But, maybe because I am at the end of the family line - only child, and no other male heirs with in the extended family, I really do want a boy.

It is hard to explain - but I am looking forward to kicking a ball around the garden, teaching the little toad how to play conkers etc.... yes I know I could do that with a baby girl but it wouldn't feel quite right, to me at least.

I wonder if other chaps feel like this - and in our modern society is it because we get all caveman about such things?

Mazel tov!

Most men I know that are having kids say the same thing. But, believe it or not, you'll love the tyke no matter what sex it is. And you can kick the ball around with a little girl...and it can be 'the same.' ;) And some little boys aren't interested in sports...so you never know!

Anyway...congrats!
