Is it a Boy or Girl?

     So both Teddy and I hope to have a boy. Teddy, like all guys, wants a boy to do guy stuff with and pass on his manly wisdom. I want a boy because I like boy clothes and toys more. I love all the skull decal clothes for boys, camo print pants, and idea of cutting my kid's hair into a mohawk or at least a faux-hawk. I also prefer legos and toy cars to dolls. Plus I think guys are easier in the teen/ puberty years (I base that on how much of a pain in the ass bitch I was back then).
   
     As I mentioned in my last post- a panorama test provides results on the baby sex because the test can tell if the sex chromosomes as XX (girl) or XY (boy). So when we got the results of odds of our baby having birth defects we were also given the option to find out the baby's sex. Some people chose to wait for the birth and be surprised but we wanted to know. AND..........

It's a Girl!

     Teddy and I were both a little bummed but the baby is healthy and that's what is most important. I HATE pink and am far from being a girly girl so I'm worried that luck will bring me a daughter that will be obsessed with pink, frilly things, and everything super girly. Meanwhile Teddy is already dreading the teenage years and all the boys that will try dating his daughter; "it's karma coming back to me for the way I treated girls when I was younger," says Teddy. Other aspects of having a girl that we dread are pre-teen know-it-all mood swings, puberty, periods, worrying she'll get knocked up before finishing high school, and the price tag of her wedding that we'll one day be paying (although that tradition is dying out a bit). As you can tell we are kinda heavy on the cons and low on pros of having a baby girl- so if you have any positives you want to share... feel free to comment. Like I said- the major pro is that we are having a healthy baby... so if nothing else that one pro outweighs all the cons. I know we'll both love her tremendously regardless if all our fears come true.
