It's a Boy! Did You Want a Princess? Do You Care?

Sure, we're all happy the baby is healthy, but were you hoping for a prince or princess?

After all the waiting, the world learned on Monday afternoon that it's another prince for the British royals!

Since this might be considered a special edition of Moms Talk, I'm sure that we can agree that we're happy that all apparently went well for Kate, and the baby reportedly is doing fine.

Congrats from across the pond!

But, like me, were you secretly wishing for a royal princess?

An adorable fashion model! The little girl that those of us blessed with boys never got!

But, a bit more seriously, the future Elizabeth III, or her equivalent. What a wonderful role model would she have been for our girls here!

Well, best wishes, I'm sure, from the Somerset Hills (where our forefathers and mothers definitely were British!) and parents around the world.

Do you have any wishes/advice for the new parents? Do you think anything you've ever learned would be useful to Will and Kate?

Did you have a preference for girl or boy? Or are you happy either way?

Or don't you care?

Let us know in the comments section below. And do you know anyone in these here parts who might be receiving a birth announcement?
