What a heartwarming story about the new little baby!
You are so right about hospital charity blankets donated being predominately girlish. I guess we girls simply enjoy working on pink and purple things more than boyish or earth tones. Yesterday at Project Linus after all of the blankets came in, the coordinator said that she had a special request for 3 blankets for teenage boys. She found 3 that were good matches, but that about wiped out the supply of that type. For us the issue is getting enough blankets for older boys, and particularly ones that are boyish, but not juvenile (Bob the Builder, dinosaurs, cartoon looking fire trucks, etc.).
Concerning new born babies, I think a teenage father or other young new dad might be helped in adjusting to his new baby boy if it is wrapped in something he himself would like - camouflage, team sports, plaids, etc.
