Pink.
Yes, we are progressive, and this kid will get to be whoever she wants, but when she's little she will definitely be dressing up in "traditional" colors for awhile. Of course, Miss Mox is not a girly girl and I am not a Jersey Shore macho idiot, so that's about as far as gender roles will go. She can play with dolls or bulldozers, or both, or neither. She will definitely be read to, and hopefully be a voracious reader like her parents. She will watch sports with her mom, go to air museums with her dad, play with animals and eat good food. When she grows up she can be whatever she wants. We are parsing out which physical characteristics we hope she has, but we know she will be stubborn and will be a smartass because those genes seem to be dominant in our families. Hopefully we can handle those two qualities...
We have a name picked out, and the room that will be hers was already painted purple. We have lots to do around the house, and lots of mental prep because HOLY CRAP WE'LL BE PARENTS SOON! Luckily we have family and friends to help.
Seeing the sex, and that she is healthy, on the ultrasound was supercool. We are lucky to live in an era of advanced medicine, and to have many good doctors and facilities nearby (plus, of course, good insurance.) We do worry about her health (and mine- I already creak when I bend down and try to stand up...) We worry about money, and schools, and safety. But we are in a good situation, and I know Miss Mox is a great partner- in life, and parenting. Another adventure...
