Well, PuppyLuver, there's no really simple answer to your question. But--I'll give it a try. Normally, and I hate to admit this, when a Chinese couple is expecting, until they know for sure, they normally assume it's a boy because that's what most couples expect to have. This is not to say that a daughter will not be welcome, (as in their case, a daughter was welcomed) but it's just kind of a part of Chinese society. Husbands (not all) but a lot assume they're going to have boys. I hope this answered your question. If it didn't, just let me know, and I'll be happy to elaborate on it. If not, then I'll let you and everybody else know when the next chapter is here!
