Well, Siew is feeling better. She's not throwing up much at all now. Maybe one time per week.
So, I am weird. I have to admit that. Everyone who knows me knows that to be a fact. I am really odd.
To add weight to this claim I want to provide this evidence. I do not want to know the gender of our baby.
What?! Why?!
Well, what is the point? People have existed for centuries without knowing beforehand if it is a boy or a girl. If we were supposed to know we'd have little screens built-in or a flag sprouting from our heads saying "It's a girl!"
It is also bad for the baby to have too many ultra-sound scans. It is really bad for their ears. Why subject the little person to that just to fulfill our own curiousity, at the expense of the child's health?
So, no, I do not want to know if it is a boy or a girl. It is what it is, nothing will change it, so why not just sit back and wait until it is born and then we can tell the world with a shout "It's a ...!!!!"
I think that is a good decision. I was not aware of the affects of ultrasounds on the baby but it makes sense that there would be. The argument here would be "how will people know what clothes and things to get for the baby shower" but I think the child's health is a lot more important than some OCD people who have to know whether to get pink or blue. Maybe not to far into the future I will be making the same decision, lets just be surprised.
