Daddy is impatient

Mr. W and I went to grab some dinner yesterday and before we did, the fat kitty was going crazy after a few hours without, so we had to get him food. I decided we should run into Target, since it is across the street, and they have maternity clothes. Mommy is not fitting into normal clothes these days and another pair of shorts sounded like a good idea.
Mr. W waited patiently(at least for the first few minutes) while I looked to see what might fit my gigantic behind. Mr. W, much like a little child himself and not to be outdone, decided he needed to get shorts, too.
We wandered on to get the cat food, and then, as we made our way toward the paper towels, it happened.
I paused to show him the cute teeny outfits for babies, and we were off on a little wish listing spree.
Tiny little dresses and little pairs of shorts. Itty bitty bikinis, and baby sized baseball hats.
Of course, mommy was picking up girl clothes, but trying to find little boy clothes, too. Daddy, on the other hand, only picked up tiny boy clothes. Boy he will be in for some devastating news if mommy wins the battle of the sexes. Now, I'll be ok either way, but it sure would be nice to get another female into this house!(dog and cat are both boys, too)
In any case, finally Mr. W grew tired, since he was hungry, as usual, and pushed me out of the store.
In the car, on our way out of the parking lot, it started.
"Why don't we know what we're having yet?" "My friend (xyz, lmnop) is due the same day but they have known for a few weeks now."
Mr. W, with all the people he knows, has at least 2 friends that are due at nearly the same time as we are. I patiently explain to him, as if he were my very own 5 year old, that I didn't get to decide when my scan would be, the doctor did. I then go on to tell him that there are places where you can pay to find out early. This answer seemed to satisfy him, as surely Mr. W would not want to pay for something that he would get free in a few weeks.
The fact that we don't know yet is probably a great thing. After all, it is taking away precious weeks of shopping that I don't really need to do. It's been hard not knowing, but in another week and 5 days, we will.
The great news is, Mommy has already picked out a sweet little blanket for her little girl, and Daddy has picked out some ugly stretchy grey shorts for his little boy.
If he gets his boy, I will wish I had more time to find some clothes that I like, but I suppose I can always get him a bunch of Ohio State jerseys.
