It's Not (Necessarily) a Boy!

I got an email today that asks an important question:

We are enjoying your blog and all the great pics of O. but here's my question--do we know that the new baby is a boy?? I only wonder because you refer to him or her as Baby Y--I don't think I know this if so....

We have no idea if Baby Y is a boy or a girl (actually, someone had to explain to me the Y chromosome thing that the question implies; I get confused about such things). Before Owen was born, my brother him Baby X, and when Baby Y came along, Andy started calling Baby Y Baby Y and the name just stuck. So, no hidden message is meant to be communicated; unless Andy knows the sex of the baby and he's just messing with us (which is something I won't rule out).
