Kate Middleton: I Want a Boy, Prince William Wants a Girl
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are both ready for the sleepless nights that come along with a newborn baby – but differ on whether they want a daughter or a son.
While handing out symbolic shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards at the annual St. Patrick's Day ceremony in Aldershot, Kate revealed that while she'd like to have a boy, Prince William would prefer a girl.
As she met members of the regiment of which William, 30, is ceremonial colonel, she said she was ready to be a mom but is undecided on a name for the couple's baby.
Sergeant Thomas Laven, who was receiving a long service medal, told her he has a 7-month-old son, Theo. "I congratulated her on the impending birth and said you've got sleepless nights to come," he told reporters.
"She said she was prepared for it," he added
Inside the Mons Barracks, Kate, 31, and William posed for photographs, where the Duchess spoke with guardsman Lee Wheeler.
"I asked her do you know if it's a girl or a boy and she said not yet," Wheeler, 29, said. "She said 'I'd like to have a boy and William would like a girl.' I asked her if she had any names and she said no."
Another guardsman, Jason Perry, said, "I wished her congratulations and said I hope all is fine and well. She said yes it is."
"I asked is she excited to have her first child and she said very," Perry, 33, added.
Despite her growing baby bump, Kate fit into an outfit she wore a year ago – a green Emilia Wickstead coat to which she added a gold shamrock pin.
As she handed out sprigs of shamrock at the St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, she was not flustered by the driving rain and winds. But in a brief, unscripted moment, she caught one if her heels in a drain and appeared to need steadying by William.

Re: Kate Middleton: I Want a Boy, Prince William Wants a Girl
Let's get real here: neither she nor Prince William will suffer through any sleepless nights with a newborn nor will she probably ever change a stinky diaper. I love her, I think she is simply charming but we all know she'll have nannys around the clock.

I could totally seem them being hands on and doing it themselves but I feel like for a royal a nanny would almost be inevitable.

Re: Kate Middleton: I Want a Boy, Prince William Wants a Girl
I'm a little surprised she said that. . .as long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters.
I thought I read somewhere that they want to be hands on and her mother will be helping them a lot.

I agree they will more then likely have a nanny, but I honestly see them as super hands on parents. I can see her nursing, changing diapers, up all night and traveling with the baby. I really feel like they want to give their kids the most normal life they can!

I have read that they want to be hands on and not use a nanny very much.

ITA. She may not have a choice. It's fun to ooh and ahh at royals but from what I've read it really is a very restrictive way of life. But just because she has a nanny to deal with the middle-of-the night stuff doesn't mean she won't be hands-on in other ways.

Re: Kate Middleton: I Want a Boy, Prince William Wants a Girl
Now, what if she has a little girl who one day reads that her mommy wanted a boy?? Or vice versa? 
I mean many people may have a gender preference but you don't actually admit to it when you're pregnant! lol.

I was the first grandchild on both sides of the family. I heard everyone was hoping for a boy- except my Mom.
Like most people that have a gender preference, it didn't matter once I was born. I never had an issue with it. I think it is hilarious.
