Of course everyone wants a healthy baby! Many people are pretty obsessed over the sex of the baby too, though. I mean, before they find out if it's a boy or girl, they usually have some preference in mind.
It's rare to meet anyone these days who doesn't want to know the sex of the baby before it's born. In fact I think that only happens on TV shows anymore!
I used to read Little House on the Prarie books when I was a kid. Laura Ingalls Wilder had a daughter first, that's what she wanted, and her second child was a boy, she actually describes her displeasure with having a boy....and the boy died in infancy which she found convenient.
Then there's old Henry the 8th....
Those are extremes though, but I do believe most people do have a preference although don't put that above the importance of health.
Is it normal to not worry about the sex of our baby.

The show How I Met Your Mother has an episode referencing this(the boy/girl dilemma).
