You are right that finding out the gender changes everything. I have an "anti-princess" mentality with Emma because I don't want her entire identity to be wrapped up in being a girl. She is first a person and then a girl. I don't know if that makes any sense but hopefully you get the picture.
We want to expose Emma and and future children we may have to a variety of activities and let them choose where they want to go in terms of interests. My parents put me in girl scouts, sports, dance, and piano lessons. I loved ballet and music when I was in elementary school and then in JRH and HS started enjoying sports more. I'm so thankful to my parents that they exposed me to a little bit of everything.
