OK, it’s a little late to be talking publicly about my pregnancy for the first time here since i’m already six months along, but better late…

This evening as I was going to the gym, I waited at a corner for the traffic light. I took this moment to put on my jacket as it was getting cold so I must have been arching slightly and showing my belly at its fullest to the passing cars.

Anyway, a cabbie came to a rolling stop in front of me, leaned out his window and pointed at my belly emphatically. “I think it’s a boy,” he said declaratively and authoritatively, not even pausing to smile. Then he pursed his lips, nodded for emphasis, and hit the accelerator.

So, I guess I’m having a boy.
