So, to begin this post, I am going to tell you a little about why I am doing a post about baby gender. I found out about a month ago that my husband and I are expecting our first child. Now, while that is a complete shock and not planned at all, we are now really excited about it. I am 8 weeks a long and have my first appointment tomorrow to hear the heart beat, so fingers crossed all goes well!

Also, after discovering I am pregnant, I joined a forum on babycenter.com for first time mothers, as well as a 'birthing club' online for my due date. Curious as we all are, we stared a "what do you think/want it to be" thread. It is truely amazing how people have prefances as to what their baby is going to be, so I wanted to do a little more digging into how the world views what gender their baby, especially firstborn, should be.

Hopefully you find this blog interesting!
