Thank you. We're hoping for a girl but it's still too early to tell. She's only 10 weeks in. Hormones and morning sickness running strong.

Thanks. Both of you.

The wife warned me about getting my hopes for a girl too high but... I asked the magic 8-ball and it said "Yes, definitely" so, in my mind, it's a fact that my baby will be a girl. Even if it's a boy I'm raising a girl. ;)

I'm joking on multiple levels, by the way.
