...and it will probably want something like this one day.
It’s a boy.
Not surprising, considering males in my family are broken and I told my wife that. She’s not as disappointed as I was expecting, but others were really pulling for a girl harder than even she was. Brother was 2 for 2, male cousins 4 for 5 (so 7 for 8 in the children of my generation, including my brother and I), father 3 for 4, uncle 2 for 3, grandfather 4 for 5, great grandfather 4 for 5, great great grandfather 4 for 5... I mean, would you guess girl with such bad odds?
I’ll try to raise him well so he wants something better like a Koenigsegg or McLaren, but I’m sure he’s not going to be the Lambo type.
4 months to go...

I have a friend that had the first girl in 4 generations of his family. She has to be the most spoiled child I have ever seen.

Surprisingly few. She was obsessed with girl names because hope for a girl. He will not be a junior.

It’s just uncanny in my family for many generations. I don’t know why girls are rare, but it is such a strong pattern that since at least grandpa’s generation onward it has simply been something we expect.

Uncanny is right! My dad’s siblings 7/8, my siblings 5/6, my kids 2/3 - definitely seems like something other than complete chance... My brothers’ kids don’t hold the pattern completely: 2(twins) /3, 2/5, 1/2, 1/2. My sister? 3 for 3! Haha!
