Usually I\u2019m not a gambling woman but I have a $25 Starbucks bet riding on the outcome of this day. You all know how much I like my Starbucks.<\/p>\n
This bet is all about chromosomes.<\/p>\n
And their placement in the alphabet.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m betting on pig-tails and pink.<\/p>\n
Others are betting on crewcuts and blue.<\/p>\n
Feel free to place your own bet.<\/p>\n
We are all sooo excited.<\/p>\n
But what all this really means is that I will be able to develop my game plan for wooing that child\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n
Of course, this little Sinner<\/em> (real last name) \u00a0isn\u2019t going to be lacking in adoration.<\/p>\nAnd wouldn\u2019t it just be heaven on earth if all babies everywhere were assured such devotion?<\/p>\n
