So, I made a tally last night off of the unofficial list, and found that for families in the last two years that requested "either gender", there was about a 4:1 boy:girl referral ratio. There's clearly a high possibility we'll be bringing home a boy (our little Habibi!!), but the girls are still holding strong there at 1/5 (oh, my sweet Habibti!!). It's funny cause if I were pregnant, I think I'd definitely want to know the baby's gender, I've never been much good at waiting on surprises if there's the option not to. But adoption has it's own set of rules, and we'll have to wait till almost the very end to know. It's all gravy though, cause honestly I just happen to like gender neutral colors (green and aqua and orange and yellow) better than your traditional blue and pink (though I do like a good peach), and more importantly, we feel really confident that we'll be equally as excited about either gender. I've even realized that (at least this time) if we'd requested one or the other it might have driven me crazy, I'd have been doubting the choice the whole time. This way it's not up to me, which is better (for me) :) But... I still can't wait to know who you are, my sweet!!!

Hi! It's so nice to "meet" you! And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who over-analyzes adoption data! ha ha!
