Just to be clear, the baby hasn't been born yet, correct?

That is correct.

A friend just had her baby girl, after 25 weeks!
I sometimes wish for that kind of delivery time, nothing I do seems to be right these days, and no food I cook is worth eating...
Uh, OK yo'd rather eat this canned tuna than the lasagna I spent 5 hrs making, mhm that's cool

:O
Someone's turning down LASAGNE? That's a severe mental ailment, thank goodness it's temporary.

Congrats to Kirby and all the others who got kids recently / will get some soon ^^

Utrasound today:
Seems it's a girl, though not 100% certainty.
Delivery Dec 29th.
Seems to be a wild one, lots of moving all the time.

Hmm... Some kind of hermaphrodite maybe?

But why this preoccupation with the gender of children in this day and age? Should it matter as long as the child is healthy? Why do parents in a modern society want to know the gender in advance? Is it maybe to better prepare the brainwashing of the child into a stereotypic individual better able to fit smoothly in the patriarchal structures of current society?

I think, when waiting for the baby, any information is just downright exciting, as opposed to one being a preference over the other

In our case, we wanted to know the gender in order to purchase clothing in advance. If I'm going to buy things for my son before his birth, I want to avoid buying too many skirts, for example. :-)

And you have the advantage that boy predictions are a fair bit more accurate than girl ones
