here are some answers to questions i seem to get immediately after i tell people i am pregnant, so i thought i would save some time...
YES we are planning on a home birth again...with Sue of course...
NO we are not planning on finding out the gender...
NO this pregnancy was not us "trying for our girl"...and
NO i will not be upset if its a boy...i will be over the moon...if its healthy...thats what matters (and yes i have been asked this question...more than once...)
YES i have morning, noon and night sickness...and been feeling overall crappy...but i'm not complaining...no really...i gave up complaining for Lent...just answering a question...truthfully :)
NO this was not "planned" but not shocking either...
NO i dont know if we are "done" yet...although talk to me in a year or so...
YES bryson is excited...if its a boy he wants to name it Bodie or Daddy...
NO Feely McNerbits you may not have our child...although you are welcome of course to photograph the baby like you have with the last two!
by the way...why cant people be more creative with their questions? when you have been dating someone for a long time its "when are you getting married?" and then you get married and its "when are you having a baby?" and then you have a baby and its "when are you having the next one" and then you have the next one and people are like, "you are done right? are you done?" and then you get pregnant with the third and people are like panicky, "you are done right? right? three is it right?" and then you tell them you want a basketball team and they pass out all over you...

Funny. ;) Now I am thinking back to last week wondering if I asked any of those questions. Don't think I did. Anyway - very excited for you - sorry you have been feeling bad. Sure didn't look like you were this morning - you looked radiant!
Congratulations! I am due with our first in June... but I hear ya on all the weird questions. We are not "finding out" and have seen some of the weirdest looks and received some of the oddest comments because of it! Sheesh, people! Surprises are Fun!
Enjoy it!

oh i'm sure i asked you one of those. hope you'll still have me. (i'm rooting for you to have a girl so Esme will have a playmate!) We were just saying how it never ceases to amaze me the privilege people take in their commentary on your life. I'm gonna try and come up with some clever questions for you, really make this fun....
I am simultaneously amused and horrified that that is almost a direct transcription of the email I sent you. Minus a few *choice* words. xoxo
