loDHom be'Hom ghap DaneHqu''a'?
'ej pong bowIvta''a'?
Actually, you did fine... except for one small boo-boo. You had the wrong
prefix in the second line, on <jIHaDlI'>. Your "if it is a boy or a girl" is
a bif of an iffy construct (if you pardon my puns. {{:) ). I would have just
said: loDHom be'Hom ghap 'oHchugh. I don't think you need the 'e' in that
line, either... you don't have a complete sentence. Yes, I think you
definitely don't want 'e'... they are subordinate clauses. That means that
<wISov> would also be <maSov>... make sense?
Translations:
------------
You must tell us when your child is born!
Do you hope for a boy or a girl?
And have you choosen a name yet?
