REPLY TO STEPHEN G. LIPTAK    
RE:  Wanting a boy

I've always believed that some couples should have children
and some should not. The couple who feels that they want a
specific sex type for their first child should investigate
their true reasons for wanting a child in the first place.

Wanting a boy so he can play catch and protect...COME ON!!

My husband and I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter, our frist,
and we are expecting our second child this month. How fortunate I am
that my husband would be as thrilled with second daughter as a
son this time.

Just a little inside story for you Stephen, as I was making
dinner in the kitchen this weekend my 3 1/2 year old daughter
was at my feet not wanting to cook, but dribbling her
basketball and trying to make shots into the trash can.

Why not solve you problems of sex type and go to a pet store
and buy a guard dog and teach it to fetch. You could even name
it after yourself!
