When my first was born (after a long arduous labor) the doctor said it was a boy then a nurse said it was a girl. You would hope that labor and delivery personnel would know. I was to the point of not caring as long as it over with.
I’m given to understand that knowing ahead of time simplifies the purchase of baby-related items. No one’s been able to adequately explain to me why that’s needful, though. I doubt very much that baby Susie is going to be scarred for life if she’s swaddled in a blue blanket instead of a pink one.
