One of my fondest memories of Fatherhood is picking up my sleeping child and carrying them into the house. They would basically sink into any bump or crevice on my body and it almost felt like I could let go and they wouldn't move at all. Like Velcro. Don't worry, I never tried to test that out, I just wondered.

They are so snuggly and it’s so neat how you can feel when they really fall into a deep sleep and they turn into dead weight.

Well hopefully SIL isn't snarky this time if she's a girl. She only has one grandchild (a girl) and won't have more. When our son found out after years of trying and in vitro that she was a girl, SIL was disappointed (and told me so) the baby wasn't a boy for the family name.

I remember my dad saying once that he was the last to carry our family name, and I told him I would probably be the last (which has turned out to be true). I really don’t understand why that is even a thing anymore. Haven’t we moved beyond thinking females are second best? There are so many other things to think about, like simply having a healthy child.

All of this! But (no offense to those who are like this) she's old school backwoods country in every way. I have no clue how DH turned out how he did unless it was traveling the world, experiencing other cultures LOL.

We just pray for an easy, healthy pregnancy and healthy girl or boy!

In the delivery room 50 years ago next month, right after the birth of our first child, my wife asked the doctor, who was slightly busy, if the baby was a boy or girl. When he responded girl, my wife turned her head toward me and said, "I'm sorry, I know you wanted a boy". I just shrugged and went over to the Doctor and punched him for looking at my daughters naked under carriage.

Spoiler: In all honesty...

That last part was said for humor, that particular emotion didn't kick in until many years later.

My problem was I never once said that, There are other parts of the family that have had boys so the name will continue, just not by me. Even if there wasn't I couldn't find a reason to care. It never was anything I thought about. I love my daughters and I'm not even sure if I could have had even a clue how to raise a boy. (now that I think about it, I didn't have a clue about raising a girl either) I suppose I would have learned, but all I could think of was the angst I caused my parents in the years that my parents were dumber than a bucket of rocks and I knew everything. Turns out girls can get to that same point.
