Q: Silly question, I know... All our friends have been having girls - does this mean we'll have a boy?


I know it's a silly question and, trust me, I know the mathematics (I've taken probability). Nonetheless, my husband and I have been hoping for a little girl and all our friends are having girls. Does this mean our friend group is destined for a run of boys??? ...I mean, we'd both be happy with a healthy baby of either sex, but what are people's experiences? I'm sure this has happened to other people. A friend in Oregon was worried no girls were being born, b/c all her friends were having boys!

What do you think? Destined for Joe or will Jane come along?
