Tomorrow is ultrasound day! Bright and early, Shawn and I are going to find out Willie's sex (as long as s/he cooperates.)
We've not kept it a secret that we're hoping Willie's got an outtie but I feel like I should clarify that we won't be disappointed if it turns out we're expecting a lady baby. We would just prefer a boy and aren't ashamed to admit it. I'm sure there are many people who genuinely don't care if they're expecting a boy or a girl as long as it's healthy (that last part has to be said in a singy songy voice) but I also feel like there are a lot of people who don't voice their preference out of fear of looking like an asshole. I fully admit I'm an asshole. And I want a boy. So think penis-y thoughts for us, okay?

Penis-y thoughts! Penis-y thoughts!
ReplyDeletePerhaps have a bit of Coke/coffee before the u/s -- that resulted in a nice, active, crotch-displaying fetus for me. Sorry for the buzz, baby, BUT I HAD TO KNOW.
Thinking mega-penisful thoughts for you. I think it's fair to want what you want. I wanted a girl, and wanted to punch all of the "I don't care as long as the baby is healthy" people. As you know, I have a boy, and I love him more than my life and he is such a BOY boy.
ReplyDeleteTotal penis-y thoughts for you, from me. And Julia too once I tell her to think them.
ReplyDeleteI'd want a boy too. Which doesn't matter at all as my future children will be four-legged creatures with a lot more fur than Willie. Well, let's hope at least.
But still. Boys are cool straight outta the gate. Girls are pretty stellar too, but sometimes they make me think of pink and frills, neither of which I fancy.
Happy day before ultrasound day!
Hot dog! Hot dog!
ReplyDeleteI think even the "as long as it's healthy" people are kind of assholes, because what happens if the fetus/baby isn't healthy? It happens, you know. There's nothing wrong with stating you have a preference if you have one. It doesn't mean you'd love a hamburger Willie less.
Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was the asshole who wasn't afraid to say out loud that she wanted a girl, so at least you're in good (but sorta opposite) company. (I'm also apparently the asshole who thinks she's good company!)
ReplyDeleteI wanted a boy Sprogzilla and I got my wish. I wanted a girl Sprogletta second and that never happened. It is what it is.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your wish honey!
I wanted my first baby to be a boy because I had always wanted a bigger brother when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteWould I have been disappointed if G was a girl? HELL NO. I just had a dream about birth order (which I got, as you know).
GO WILLIE!
I almost actually LOLed at "Thinking mega-penisful thoughts for you." But I am, too!
ReplyDeleteYou know, we all have dreams. Some people want certain things for their careers, their weddings, their families. I think it's totally fine to want one sex over the other. It doesn't mean you'll be less of a good parent if you have a girl. Because we all know you're gonna love the hell out of that kid.
ReplyDeleteSo, with your big hopes in mind, I'm thinking BIG DICKS for you today. mwahahaha - hope I don't get flagged for spam!
Consider it done! Can't wait to hear the results!
ReplyDeleteMan, I just love that video. "You're just giving birth now. You're not Mother Earth now." Ha ha haaaa.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you guys are psyched for a boy. (I still think my sister is having a boy, though I won't be able to find out if I'm right until the actual delivery date, which HI, I will probably be dead from The Anticipation by then.)
Hope it goes awesomely!
LOVE this post. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI want a boy first too. Then two girls. Ha! Good luck with that, right?!
Sending penis-y thoughts your way! XO
Fingers crossed it's an outtie! I love that you're admitting you want a boy! Way to keep it real, lady! (I hope to have a baby girl one day.)Can't wait to hear the big news! Eeee!!! And yes, that "Pregnant Women Are Smug" song is too hilarious. Yayyy Garfunkel and Oates!
ReplyDeleteVahid and I have talked about what we want first, if we ever grow the hell up enough for children. I said a boy and he said as long as it's not twins he doesn't care. (Twins run in my family and he doesn't like the idea of TWO BABIES at the SAME TIME.)
ReplyDeleteI hope it's a boy! Can't wait to find out! :D
I'm with you - I would love to have only boys. I will think of penises constantly until you found out. Wait...
ReplyDeleteI am loving all the penile support. You are all rockstars.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love this!
ReplyDeleteno shame in wanting a baby of a certain sex. so i will definitely send penis-y thoughts your way!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've honestly been thinking it is a boy since you told me that were knocked up. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow my dear! OX!
Fingers crossed for wang. Can't wait to hear!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of my most favorite assholes :)
ReplyDeleteI die, Hillary. I voiced my preference on my blog and got slammed in the face with a horrid anonymous comment. But I still want what I want. And I'm glad you got what you wanted :)
