Random silly rant

We had a great Christmas! Baby Mac behaved very well by not making me sick the whole break! It was fab! He/She even let me eat pretty much anything I wanted without making me want to throw up at the thought of certain foods. (It's the little things these days...) Baby Mac has started to get some "stuff" from family and friends. I am getting super excited about starting a nursery in the future. I have an idea of what I want, but finding out the gender will probably change some of my ideas somewhat. (I think my room would probably be suited best for a girl...but then again, its a baby, so like they know the difference, right?)

Speaking of gender, a lot of people have been asking me if I want a boy or a girl. I honestly cannot remember if I asked this question to anyone that I knew that was pregnant or not, but I have decided I do not like the question. (Do not be offended if you have asked me this because I really don't hate this question, its just something I have really been thinking of because I have too much time on my hands..ha!) This is why: say you REALLY REALLY REALLY want a girl and you tell the WORLD how much you want a girl....then come gender determination day and you find out its a boy.. 1) do you feel bad because you wanted the other? 2) do people feel bad for you because you kept saying how much you want a certain gender? I personally would feel kinda stupid. I mean it's not anything I can help in the 1st place, ya know? So for all those who want to ask me this question, I do not care (honestly) if I have a boy or girl. A girl would be fun because 1) I happen to know a thing or two about girls 2) I have two nieces that would LOVE to share clothes and "stuff" with me (right, Julie?) Then the flip side of this is if I had a boy, it would be fun because it would be the 1st boy grandchild to my parents (Wades family has a boy and girl already) and it would be fun to be able to share my boy experiences with my sisters if/when they ever had boys and pass down clothes and stuff. I should say that I am not offended by anyone who has asked me this question...or to those who will ask in the future. I just over analyze stuff way to much and when thinking about it, I feel like I cannot think that I honestly want one sex more than the other. I just want a HEALTHY baby!! The question I will be asking newly pregnant women from now on is: Do you think you are having a boy or a girl? This way, they can tell you what they think and why.
