Congrats to you both! Do you know what you're having?
We're having a girl. Her name is Cora.

My wife went through "gender dissapointment". She really wanted a boy, which I thought was silly at first then realized it was a serious thing with her. She's ok with it now.

A woman at work went through the same thing when her 2nd baby was a boy (she already had a boy). My wife declared she wanted to try again and whatever we get we'll live with. I'm ok with trying for another. We got pregnant on the first try, so I want to see if I can actually go 2-0, which would be hilarious.

Re: Post if your wife is pregnant

I'm super-impressed by how well men take having a girl.

I was so worried when the nurse called to inform me that it was a girl. My partner is a huntin', fishin' manly man and I thought he'd be disappointed that the months of talking to Ryan Jr. were for naught...but he just made a seamless transition to talking to "his little princess", and actually seems somehow prouder...like he's the big protector of us all.

I definitely did not give future Daddies enough credit.

I'm fairly manly but I would love a daughter. One who brings bf's home to meet me and I'm there polishing my gun.

Re: Post if your wife is pregnant

I somewhat wanted a boy, but I think families have more of a loving atmosphere with more women in them. I've been around families with mostly men, and dinner time is much more of a quiet eat-as-fast-and-as-much-as-you-can event, whereas with more women around it's a lot of laughter and talking.

I know we complain about that quite often, but it really is nice to have that environment. Besides.. I won't be around very long, so a daughter will help take care of my wife when I'm gone, as depressing as that sounds. Men get married and do their own thing.

Obviously a lot of stereotypes, but it really does seem to hold true.

Yeah.. I'm somewhat worried about this. I'm overly protective in general, I don't want to make my daughter miserable.

But I will.

Not overly protective at all. It will go one of two ways:

1. Kid turns, runs, stammers and makes an idiot out of himself.
2. Kid asks if I'm going hunting. I say yes. He asks more questions. I take daughter and her boyfriend hunting.

I'm looking for kid #2.

Re: Post if your wife is pregnant

I'd be happy with a kid who actually comes in and introduces himself properly. It seems basic things like that are hard to find these days.

Re: Post if your wife is pregnant

I have a boy now and kid 2 due in March. I have a feeling it's a girl, but won't know until October.

Wiping poop the other way is going to take some getting used to.
