The word "son" up there struck me. It sounds different than "boy," which makes me think trains, blue, blah blah blah, the baby stuff, the little boy stuff. You're disappointed that you're having a boy -- okay. But you're going to have a _son_. There's going to be this independent person who's Niki's _son_. Wow.

Is it just me?
