As it turned out, we have two girls.  It is indeed interesting that:

  1.  We play catch regularly.

  2.  They take care of themselves quite well, thank you.

  3.  If they choose to carry on their name, that option exists.
      (However, how important is it, really?)

An interesting thing happens when you see your child born - you turn into
a parent.  Implicit in this state of being is (among many other things)
the fact that it really, really doesn't matter what sex your child is.
Especially in this day and age.

Admittedly, you will not appreciate this until your baby arrives.  Rest
assured though, that you will feel quite differently once you have the baby.

Fortunately, short of sorting out your sperm under a microscope, 
there is nothing you can do to increase the probability
that conception results in a male baby.  In fact, the odds are slightly
in favor of a female being born.
