Boy or Girl?

I never found out the sex of my two girls before they were born. I wanted a surprise. I wanted the doctor to say, "It's a...!" and I'd be surprised and elated. Funny story about our first daughter... when she was born, my husband (a biology teacher) immediately looked at the genitals and said, "It's a boy!?" The doctor quickly corrected him, reminding him that the genitals are often quite swollen at birth. Anyway, for a brief moment he had a son. We also sort of winged it when it came to preparing for the babies beforehand. A few things in neutral colors... pieced together changing table made out of abandoned school desks (while living in Taiwan). We kept it pretty low key, so it didn't seem important to know the gender.

So what's my point? My point is, now that I knit, I'm torn. I want to encourage people to have the fun of the surprise, but the reality is, I really want to know if it's a boy or girl because it's easier for me.

Here's my solution...

It's a BOY!

It's a GIRL!So does this work... ribbon vs. cord? a little bow on a blue hat? Hmmmm.
