I want to quit, but it seems impractical.
I've thought of this many times.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm never sure why people who don't have to actually raise the child themselves even care about the gender. What sort of plans could they have had that your husband's wilful sperm has now ruined?

If it were me, I'd probably hang with it for a while, if it was OK, and I wasnt' missing any other opportunities by staying. Especially since you'll likely be taking some time off once the baby arrives.
Why mess with a good thing, that's my motto.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's what I'm thinking, Nora. Just gotta convince the trapped rodent that's trying to take control of my brain.
lisah! That's so cool! Dripping sweat is very sexy on rock stars. It's a known fact.

I don't get it either. Mind you, I'm of the opinion that people should stay the hell out of my business, so I'd be as annoyed if people were telling me stuff like gender or name preferences, than I would for people telling me what kind of wedding they want me to have. Sadly, there is no elopement equivilant for baby-having, so add that to the long list of reasons why I do not want children.
Yes, I am just that misanthropic.
But, Raquel, that seriously sucks. I am always baffled but never surprised by the things that people think it's OK to say to other people.

We're THRILLED for you, and will be just as thrilled no matter the sex, or anything else.
I wanted to say the same thing to Raquel. I don't know you well or anything but your post about the assiness of your family made me cry. I just don't get the people sometimes. I'm excited for you! And hoping everything goes as smoothly as possible and that the perfect name comes to you. (Abernathy, by the way, is one of my BF's last name. She's got a black lab! Why is it your potential black lab name? Too funny.)

Think of it as having a Secret Identity!

I totally do!!! Except it's not a secret at all. I'm always talking about band stuff with like the CFO here.
