I hope you get your little girl!!! My dh does the same thing when I mention getting a little boy to keep Olivia company...he says NO. BUT when I called him at work the other day because I found a yorkie at a shelter, he actually didn't kick up too much fuss about it. Sadly the yorkie was already taken by the time I could get there.
But I am thrilled that he didn't object when it came right down to it - like you said, I usually get what I want!
