I spent my evenings this week finishing up an Orange R2-D2 costume. We are really excited for halloween. The last thing we need, to be ready is to find out the gender of the baby! I get to be a flower, and the color of the flower is the gender of the baby. So place your guesses. Am I going to be a pink, blue or yellow (the baby was shy) flower?
As a side note, I've been trying to convince myself either way. Each baby is an independent event, so boy or girl is just as likely. I've heard a lot of people tell me that we will only make boys, and then others tell me the probability of getting all boys is 1/8 or 12.5%* and that the probability of having two boys and one girl is 3/8 or 37.5%*, so the probability is higher to have a girl. But I respond to them that as it's an independent event it's just as likely at this point to get either a girl or a boy.
Friendly Hero is convinced that it's another boy baby so we can be like Alma who has three sons. And then we can have a gir-la baby. A lot of strangers say it's time for me to have a girl. So place your guess! I'll let you know after our first Halloween party and I'll post pictures of our costumes!
*okay, I tell them the probability when they tell me that mathematically it's higher probability to have the girl. And then they get a lesson in probability. (They thought they were helping me out by thinking about it mathematically, and their thoughts were slightly flawed. Some were outright wrong and then I correct them.)
