"Are you going to find out what it is?" This question keeps popping up, and my response is simple shrug and 'no'. This is really my way of avoiding the pink tidal wave that would undoubtedly come at us in the form of onesies, rain coats, bows, blankets, bags and squeaky creatures. So, surprise on this one and see how we feel going forward.
I have tried to come up with a more interesting response than, "Just want it to be healthy." Mostly, because there is very little that I can do at this point to produce a healthy baby, the work of nature is fairly dialed in in this regard. And frankly the statement goes without saying.
Nurture, on the other hand, is where I can make my mark and making sure the child persues its inner geek is going to be pretty fun. We are all geeks on some level, usually manifesting itself in heightened interest (near obscession/compulsion) in an activity. Eg: I am a bike-geek and beer-geek with a, somewhat reluctant, side of insurance-geek. The inspiration for this post came from two things I was very geeky about when I was young that come together so nicely in this posting: Origami X-wing instructions. So, to replace the generic healthy baby request, I just want it to be geeky.
