Boy or Girl?

Random Thought Time!

(I have these random thoughts pretty much all day, every day. If I have a thought I think is interesting or important, I'll probably write it down. I know it's probably not interesting or important, but if you know me at all, you know that doesn't matter...)

Okay, so if you took a poll of prospective parents, and asked what is the most-asked question, you would probably get a resounding winner.

If that same poll asked which question is the toughest to answer honestly, I think you'd get the same answer.

Do you want a boy or a girl?

First and foremost, the most common answer is also most often correct. I just want our baby to be healthy.

But is it really that simple?

If I'm completely honest, sometimes I do feel like I have a preference. At my most insecure, I want a boy because it's familiar (I'd imagine that Mommy wants a girl for the same reason sometimes). Then we see some cute stuff at the mall, and I want to have a girl because we both know how fun it would be to dress her in pretty dresses and such. Then, I want my boy to be the first-overall pick in the 2025 QMJHL entry draft. Maybe later that day, I want to sit back and watch my little girl play with her Mommy and marvel at how much of her Mommy I see in her.

So, the answer is, I want a boy. Or a girl. And in the end, the positives of each gender outweigh the other, to the point of a perfect balance.

So the only thing I hope for is a healthy baby, because I know all three of us are gonna be just fine no matter which it is.
