When it comes to deciding what sex you would prefer your child to be, there are many factors to consider. Now, I could go with the old saying that as long as it is healthy I will be happy. That is actually true. I do want a healthy baby. Ten fingers ten toes. But, everybody secretly hopes for one or the other. Let us take a look at the pros and cons of each.
Girls: Who doesn't love a good tea party? I can totally get down with some Earl Grey shooters. And, I am as hip to playing dress up as the next guy. Braiding hair? I could do that all day. Actually, none of that sounds fun at all. But I think this is because I am a guy.
Boys: Baseball, basketball, soccer, wrestling, BOOOYAH! Now we are talking. Spending all day long watching and teaching how to play sports is like heaven. Like heaven for some other guy. I don't care for sports much at all. So, the basic reasons people want a boy are lost on me.
So where does that leave me on the whole gender thing? Well, let us take a look at the down side for the kid in either sex.

I think it is safe to say that any sports picture of Hubigail that is the result of my training will be tagged with FAIL. In fact, I think I should get a camera that automatically stamps each picture. But, I am not sure that my failures could be limited to just sports. I think it might just extend to life in general.

I think this one just sort of sums it all up. But if that is not enough for you, this should cover the rest.
These seem to me like they are accurate representations of what our everyday life would be like. I am not hoping for a specific gender as I am a specific type of kid. Here are some examples of what I am hoping for.
But this is most likely what we are going to get.
But the only thing I can guarantee is that if Hubigail takes after dear old pop, there is going to be a life full of this.
As for my secret wish, well, that is going to have to stay a secret. If Hubigail ever read this, he/she might be disappointed.
