This is one of the best examples of wishful thinking. When an heir was expected, preparations and anticipations were ALWAYS made for a "son". This goes to show the law of attraction was going on even then. People planned/hoped for what they wanted. When Queen Mary I was apparently pregnant, preparations were mostly made for a boy. Even the letter prepared to be sent to the pope upon the arrival of an heir was worded "safely delivered of a prince". (Of course, Mary had a phantom pregnancy and there was no baby).
A boy's best friend is his mother.
