Philadelphia Eagles player Hank Baskett is hoping that his wife-to-be Kendra Wilkinson gives birth to a boy this Christmas.

Hank Baskett told E! that he hopes that the little baby on the way for him and his fiancee Kendra is a boy, so that he can look out for the baby girl that is coming next. Hank and Kendra have made it known that they want several children and this baby-to-be is only going to the first of many for their family.

Hank said, “I’ve always wanted, like, three. Well, at first I was like, I want two, but you say two and then there’s that ‘oops baby.’ So, now I’d like three.”

Baskett also said that with the couple’s wedding in the next week, he is trying to take the burden and stress off Kendra since she is pregnant. “You don’t want to be having a baby and have the wife all stressed,” he explains. “I am trying to take care of most of what I can …I want her to enjoy this wedding, because if she’s happy, I’m happy. That’s all that matters.”

Hank also makes it known that he is going to be taking an active role in Kendra’s pregnancy. He says, “there’s going to be some things I can’t make, but I’m going to try my hardest to be at every appointment, at every meeting, everything.”

Kendra is already earning Hank’s praise as a mother to their little one. “She’s telling me what do about every little thing. She’s reading, and I’ve seen more baby television shows since she got pregnant than I have in my entire life. She’s studying up on everything, and that’s why I have to keep my game up, to keep up with her because she’s constantly testing me and asking me questions.”

The downside to Kendra being pregnant now is that Hank has started football training in Philadelphia while Kendra remains in California. Hanks admits, “That’s one of the hardest things, to be across the country while she’s pregnant. I don’t want her in any way, shape or form to feel like she’s doing this by herself.”
