Unless, of course, they reply "Pat."
Ha!!!!!
JZ, I did not mean to imply that M is a freakazoid gargantuan baby. She IS very tiny and delicate, but still, BIG compared to the barely out of the birth canal pictures, which were the last I saw.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have found that people often guess the wrong gender of boys as well as girls, and that it doesn't end once the kid is a toddler. I don't mind, and so far, neither do the kids.

That pic is the very definition of "sleeping like a baby."
Oh, and she is SO CLEARLY a girl in that pic. Even if she wasn't wearing pink, it would be obvious to anyone without seriously distorted facial recognition schemas.

Heh, CV, I thought Matilda looked like my son in that picture!
I find it funny when people think the baby in a pink dress is a boy, but really, the vast majority of babies could be either boys or girls if you were looking at them clothed in just a diaper. I mean, secondary sex characteristics are not exactly pronounced in the under-two set.
(Both my kids were about 12 pounds at 2 months, but they do tend to skew big.)

Eh, flea, what do I know.
I'm abandoning the computer for awhile. Goodnight all!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Darn, I missed CV! ::waves forlornly::
Meanwhile, did we know about this?
Read down to the part about who wrote it.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was sort of confused the first time someone thought my kids were the other gender but it doesn't bother me. They're both of middling sized, too.
O's also getting to a stage where he likes pink. A lot. I'm waiting for him to ask me to paint his fingernails. I've already got the polish picked out.
ita, I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass the test.
Kat, you sound very ambitious for a woman with staples!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bev, that is so freaking cool and awesome! I had no idea! Go him!
I know I shouldn't care about the uninformed guesses of total strangers, and I truly wasn't bugged the first ninety times Matilda was identified as a boy half her actual age; as of the ninety-first, though, it did get a bit irritating.
