Found out my wife & I will be having a girl in July.

8. Nice to hear such good news! Congrats!

Let me tell you a little story. In 1976 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Loved him with all my heart. His father and I wanted him to have a brother or sister. By the time the baby was 17 mos. old I was again expecting! Good news. I wanted him to have a brother....I thought there would be more of a closeness for him to his new sibling. Back then we didn't know the gender before birth and surprise....I had a girl. I will admit that for a few moments after the birth of my daughter I felt disappointed. Ha! that didn't last long. What I didn't know at the time the closeness my son and my daughter would still enjoy today.

I also think, in my wise old age (LOL), that there is a special relationship or fathers and daughters that has that 'je nais sais que quality'. Enjoy!
