Maybe it’s just because for three and a half years now all the babies in both our families have been blue and I am constantly surrounded by conversations about trucks, construction equipment, hammers, “work jobs,” being sixteen, and driving.  Maybe it’s because I’m female myself.  Maybe it’s because pink is still one of my favorite colors.  Maybe a lot of things ……. I still think girl babies are cuter.  Ok, so of course there are some very darling boy babies and probably some not so beautiful girl babies but speaking in general terms, I don’t think I’m the only one who’s more likely to ooh and aaah over a baby wrapped in pink.  <\/font><\/p>\n

It’s not just limited to the babies themselves (in fact, I think, this is most of the problem).  Almost everything you can buy for a baby has usually three to four times the selection for girls as they do for boys.  Shoes, especially.  Hats, sweaters, jackets, and dress clothes run a close second.  It’s not that you can’t ever find something cute for boys, it’s just harder.  You have to wade past racks and stacks of girl things to find a small selection of boy items.<\/font><\/p>\n

Speaking of darling girl babies, Christy and I had an awful lot of fun taking pictures and designing a birth announcement for <\/font>Beth’s<\/font><\/a> babies.<\/font><\/p>\n

And moving on to toddlers and pre-schoolers, I think I prefer boys.  The differences between men and women are amazingly present early in life and IMNSHO, boys are much more straightforward.  When Adam has issues and get’s mad, he can change his attitude and move on unlike his (girl) friend who can be snippety all day if the morning starts out wrong.  When Adam is crying because he got hurt, I get a defiant, “I won’t tell you,” in answer to the question, “what’s wrong?”  Another friend who has a two-year-old daughter said she wails, “I don’t know.”  Maybe it’s just because opposites can complement.  Maybe it’s just because I hear boy conversations all day.  Maybe it’s because I’m prejudiced and think Adam is one of the cutest, wittiest, smartest three-year-old boys I’ve seen.  Maybe a lot of things.  I still love the way Adam is all boy!  <\/font><\/p>\n

What do you think about the great boy girl debate?  If you could, would you choose the gender of your baby?<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
