I am so tired of people telling me that I am having a boy or a girl. "You're craving sweets so you're having a girl." "The heart rate is what?! Oh you're having a boy." "Well your Mom had two girls so you are having a girl too." "You look like you're carrying low so it has to be a boy."
REALLY??!!! The baby is whatever the baby is! You can't tell me what the gender is by looking at my belly or analyzing what I'm eating. The baby is what the baby is! We find out August 1st what the monster is so leave it alone!
My husband and I were joking about it for quite some time. I would call the baby a 'she' and he would call the baby a 'he'. I realized recently that I was actually getting irritated every time he said 'he' so I asked him to stop and we both agreed to leave it alone until we find out. Why can't everyone else leave it alone?
I feel like people are starting to ruin it for us. I'm so tired of hearing 'it's going to be a boy or girl." It's ok to have hopes for the gender. Most of my friends hope it's a girl and my Mom even said she thinks it's a girl, but none of them are telling me that I'm having a girl.
And why is everyone giving us a hard time about finding out the gender? I have had so many people ask me why we are finding out. Why are we ruining the surprise? Are you serious? Who cares if we find out now or wait until the baby is born? It's a surprise regardless so how are we ruining it?
We are both very impatient people at times. We like to know what's coming. We WANT to know what the gender of our baby is NOW! And we want to buy gender appropriate items for our baby. If it's a boy, I'm sure my husband will be buying all kinds of camouflage gear for him. If it's a girl, I'll be searching high and low for the cutest pink gear I can find! It's what we want! We haven't even had the kid yet and we are already being critiqued on how we are doing things!
Maybe it's my hormones or maybe I'm just tired of people forcing their opinions on us like thier opinion is the only right opinion in the world. We are going to find out the gender of our baby on August 1st (as long as the baby permits) and we are going to buy boy or girl gear for our baby and we are going to stop talking about it!
