Assumptions

I am getting really sick and tired of hearing the same thing from both people I know, and don't know!

"Aw, so you're hoping for a boy this time?"

Umm, no actually. Why would you assume that so quickly? The perfect pigeon pair, a boy and a girl. Well then you would probably go further to assume that we wanted a boy first, and then a girl if we're going the perfect little family route!

We want a healthy baby! And...seriously! Not just saying that. Even if the baby isn't healthy we are going to love it to pieces regardless of any minor details!

A boy would be beautiful, a girl would be beautiful. This baby already is what it is, and has been for months now!

Argh. This is becoming really irritating. Especially coming from strangers. Is it any of their business in any case? I am trying to find a firm, but clever way to confront this question but its a difficult one. I don't want to go into long details of how we want 3 or 4 kids and hope to have at least one of each out of those numbers, because I don't find it necessary. I just don't think its right for people to assume we want one or the other!

If we are blessed with a girl and anyone cares to comment on "Maybe a boy next time." I might go absolutely ape shit on them. A baby is a person, and we are just so happy to be welcoming a person into the world. I just feel like I need to defend this very much wanted baby who is possibly a beautiful baby girl from ignorant comments from various ignorant people.

Not to diss anyone who does have a preference on the sex of their baby, that is not the point! It is people who can't help but comment on things so ridiculous! Lets be honest here too, you shouldn't be conceiving a baby if you're insistent on having one sex over the other. Its a 50/50 every time.

That is the end of my little rant.

P.S: I am on the verge of a stranger belly-grabbing rant

P.P.S: Don't grab a preggo strangers baby belly...ever.
