i had read somewhere that
some hospitals have made it a policy not
to tell the sex of the baby because it is
not medically necessary and they want to
discourage the sex-selection movement
because some think it is unethical. there
are come countries in the world where they
have to go undercover to catch doctors who
will determine the sex early on so the
people can have the baby aborted if it's
not the sex they choose (usually a boy).
for me, it was a choice not to find out,
because i know stuff like that goes on and
because i have a philosophy about it that
i want to show my gratitude and patience
by waiting. i know it probably sounds
silly to most people but i want my baby to
know i will love it no matter what it is.
i know most people will love their kids no
matter if they are a boy or a girl. but i
want my baby to know it. i don't know if
that makes any sense. i'm just not hung
up on gender at all and i don't think a
baby minds what colour it wears. also, i
want rich to call it when the baby is
born. i think it's going to be so neat
for him to tell me whether we have a son
or a daughter right when the baby is
born.
