Thoughts...

So we haven't officially told anyone, I'm still dreading that.

But I have to get a vent off my shoulders. I have never in my life understood what the point is of FREAKING OUT at a pregnant woman because someone feels the pregnancy is poorly timed. I can see the woman HERSELF freaking out for a minute because this is directly effecting HER. But for someone outside the sperm+egg equation, what is the point?

What is the point? The baby is THERE, what can be done now? If the woman is happy about it/accepting it then why shouldn't everyone else be? It's not like she can hop in her Way Way Back Machine and not have sex that day. What are the alternatives they are seeking? A call to Planned Parenthood? I just don't get it...

As an aside, J's family was discussing their garage sale today, where they are placing all the boy clothes/baby stuff since my SIL is having a girl...I'm guessing we won't be privy to any of their hand-me-downs...which is to be expected I suppose. We never got any hand-me-downs for either of our kids, we were just supposed to cough up ours for everyone else. Which is fine, unlike SOME, I don't expect anyone in our families to clothe my kids. We've done it just fine on our own with j and A and we'll do it just fine this time...but that leads me to the "Renae is going to be a raging bitch." If they don't want to recripitate ever then they can never expect to get my hand-me-downs. I'll sell everything I don't need on Ebay...
