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.

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'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?

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.)

heh. Not so much on tech writers though. Having 2 jobs is hard!

Think of it as having a Secret Identity!

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.

Congrats and good luck to lisah!!!!!

My husband has been prescribed Warfarin.

My mother's on warfarin (coumadin) for her atrial fibrillation. It's tricky stuff. The vegetables prohibition is mainly against dark green leafy vegetables, which have vitamin K which affects clotting. It also means you can't take most of the NSAIDs, which is a (literal) pain. I hope they don't want him on it forever.

Raquel, the Buffistas, who are the only people who matter, are very happy about the baby boy FNU. Your relatives need to be beaten soundly about the head and shoulders.

Good luck with the CD release, Lisa.

Ooh, you have a double life. Very hot. Good luck.
