I could definitely see Sofia going ga-ga over littler girl dresses. I always love how she dresses.

Perhaps I am the oddball, but I really was neutral. You should have children because you want a CHILD, not because you want a BOY or a GIRL. To say “I tried to be open about both sexes” is really kinda immature. Having a child is not about clothes. I wonder how all these moms will feel when their girls hit puberty and grow a mouth on them! If i have a daughter I am sure I will love her just as much as my son, but find the mama’s boy relationship to be indescribably endearing.

I think her reaction is very typical of new moms who find out they’re having daughters despite trying to remain neutral. My mom always tells the story about how she didn’t care at all whether her baby-to-be (me) was going to be a boy or girl, but when the doctor told her she was having a daughter, she yelled, “YES!,” which led the doctor to say, “Wow. I guess you really wanted a girl, huh?” Sofia’s right though-there is too much adorable little girl stuff out there to count, so she’ll have a blast!
I wonder what sort of name she’ll choose. I hope it’s something as elegant as Sofia-maybe Isabella? (my personal favorite).
