SC · Wed, 31st Jul '02, 10:29pm

Definitely girl. I put all my trust to my feminine side(99%).

Mesmero · Wed, 31st Jul '02, 10:33pm

Congratulations. What do you yourself want it to be, a boy or a girl?

Jack Funk · Wed, 31st Jul '02, 10:35pm

Congratulations. Parenthood is wonderful.

Elendil · Wed, 31st Jul '02, 11:11pm

Ah, your small bundle of joy...
If it's a boy, will you name him Elendil?

Congratulations!

Mathetais · Wed, 31st Jul '02, 11:20pm

Congrats!!!!

Get ready for your life to change (if this is your first, but I guess #2+ is a change too).

Kids are wonderful gifts from God, but sometimes, the screaming, the sleepless nights, the time away from SP & your games .... it can be quite a sacrifice.

Give you wife a big hug and some flowers from all of us!

Taluntain · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 12:34am

Aren't we a sexist bunch, we all want a boy!

Stefanina · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 1:36am

Well, statistically, boys are born slightly more than 50% of the time. So, amking a straight guess, odds slightly favor the birth of a boy. Of course, family tendencies do play a role, as my own family is very girl heavy. It puzzles many doctors...

Oaz · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 2:06am

A boy! For every Y chromosome for humans in the world, there's 3 X chromosomes. And the Y is the one that gives us testosterone.

[EDIT] Hmmm. . . my 666th post.

Yea, you can all use your bio facts. I agree with S Goddess, it's a girl.

Triactus · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 7:53am

Congradulations!!!

What are you going to call your futur child if she's a girl, and if he's a boy?

Sirdan · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 9:04am

Congratulations Modjahed!

the god · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 4:57pm

thought about polls for names?

Ragusa · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 6:08pm

Congrats Mojahed - IMO it's irrelevant wether it will be a boy or a girl - as long as it's a kid

Rastor · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 6:38pm

Ragusa, it is genetically impossible for two humans to give birth to anything but a human child.

In the average family, the odds favor a boy for the first born, and a girl as the second born. Yes, I know it doesn't really make sense, seeing as how the X chromosomes are so much more common, but I don't feel like giving you the genetic reason. If you really want it, e-mail me and I'll send you all carbon copies of the information.

Congratulations on your birth Modjahed. I'm told it's a lot of hard work, but you'll love every minute of it.

Uytuun · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 9:05pm

Congrats!!

It's gonna be a girl, most definitely a girl(I'd tell you to name her Uytuun, but since the name is almost impossible to pronounce, I won't; for the child's sake)

Modjahed · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 10:14pm

Thanks everyone!

I personally think it will be a girl - my wife's family is very VERY girl-heavy.

If however it is a boy, I will struggle with my wife (she doesn't want to) to call him Vladimir - as my father.

For the girl's mane I don't know.

As for the poll for names: I doubt you folk know a lot of russian names (except Anna Kurnikova ...

)

Eilonwy · Thu, 1st Aug '02, 11:06pm

Congratz!
That was great!
I know that you'll be a great father!
*gulp, at least I hope so...*

I hope it will be a girl. They are lovely aren't they?
/Me smiles with her whole face

Deathmage · Fri, 2nd Aug '02, 7:20am

Congratulations!!!!!!

I have placed my bet on girls

! Since that there's a better chance of boys then girls it has to be a 2:1 ratio!!

Again Congratulations!!

Gormenghast · Sun, 4th Aug '02, 6:04pm

Congratulations!

As i do not know what the feeling is, as i still am in my teenage years and still with that boyfriend, girlfriend relationship.

Well whatever the feeling is, i am sure it is a great one!

Morgoth · Thu, 8th Aug '02, 1:12pm

Congratulations

But maybe it´s a hermafrodite (boy and girl in one)
And then everybody´s happy cause everybody was right after all.

Z-Layrex · Thu, 8th Aug '02, 2:26pm

A man's sperm is always more inclined towards one gender.

Sick curtaiN · Thu, 8th Aug '02, 2:32pm

Congratulations!!

On the other hand, you may have a fraternal twin!
That way you won't really have to choose which one you really want. Although it will add a hefty sum on the budget.

Well it doesn't really matter anyway as long as your happy, right?

Lazy Bonzo · Thu, 8th Aug '02, 6:29pm
