why does everyone want to know the sex of the baby?

I have recently attended a friends baby shower in which I didn't know the sex of said baby until I walked in the door. So it struck me odd that as a mom of soon to be 3 why people ask if you know the sex of your baby? It occurred to me that most people ask but its used more in a conversational way to chit chat. Soo if your not buying me a gift thats geared towards the sex why should it matter if you know anyway? Am I making sense? I don't want to be mean but I did happen to ponder on this for all of a few seconds. I needed to think about something other than buying a new house! AWWWWW anyone else want to pull out my hair for me? Oh btw Nick still doesn't know....YEA me! I sooo rock!!!

Pegs sewing 101

hi everybody! for those of you who care or are curious(Marti) I started working on the kids shorts for summer pj bottoms and 3 dresses. everything is sew easy stuff and I'll post pics if you want to see them. BTW the fancy dress is done and so is the jumper but someone decided to eat chocolate and wear it to. Pics will be on the way as soon as I get it out.

He Speaks Out

Ha, I have hacked into the Blog and I will say something. Well we get to have another kid. And per the last Blog, my Sug’s (nickname for wife) is keeping it a secret from me. The story behind this is when she first got pregnant she decided she wanted to be surprised at birth. We have a girl and a boy already so we are prepared. Well a few weeks before we found out the gender, Sug’s started acting like a kid a few days before Christmas. She decided she could not wait and decided to find out. Basically she wants a girl and didn’t want to be disappointed at delivery.

With that I decided it would be fun not to know and see if she could keep it a secret from me. So every time someone asks to know the gender, I have to leave the room, and she goes through the spill of making sure they don’t tell me. I understand there are some people she won’t tell because they would tell me. So I am having a kid, a boy or a girl. To me it doesn’t matter which because I like both my kids now and I am sure I will like whatever we get.

We have names for both picked out but due to the privacy of the internet I will not reveal their names, we will send out birth announcements (probably) and will fill you in then.

Peace

Hi yall see what we've been up to!

This past week I was able to keep the secret of the sex of baby#3. Another 18 weeks to go. Anyone going to bet I can keep a secret? I also have gotten ready to make 3 dresses and tons of shorts for Kid 1. Other than that just active somersaults and booboos or owies. Kid 2 going to have a black toe nail again! Umm...we have been thinking of moving but we are still on the fence as to what will be better for us family and money wise. Mostly money wise! If you have an opinion please share we're very open to suggestions right now. Since we have about a year and a half left to make up our minds.
