Julie Jay: A blue babygro if it's a boy... and a blue babygro if it's a girl — because it’s 2023, baby

People are taking guesses as to what we are having based on the shape of my bump

A lot of people have asked us if we have any preference on the sex of my baby, and of course we say no, because it’s 2023 and to declare a preference for one particular sex is like something plucked directly from a Jane Austen novel. I mean it sincerely when I say we oscillate between the pros and cons of each, and will be delira either way.

Because we don’t know, people like to take punts as to what we are having based on the shape of my bump, much like one of those transition year raffles where you have to guess the amount of jelly beans in a jar — but instead of winning a jar of jelly beans the only prize is getting to tell your friends that you are in fact a tiny bit psychic.
