First off I am not Pregnant! Second off, "Gender" is not the correct term when referring to what baby you are having. Gender is the way we feel inside, sex is what lies between our legs. The words are NOT interchangeable. But these days having a "gender" reveal is all the rage, and something I want to do when I have a child.
So why does this come up? My life has been changed.... I was lied to my whole life.
My Mom secretly knew, but my Dad was not aware what my sex was until I was born. I was always under the impression they KNEW my sex.
Tons of parents do this whole, "Lets be surprised" deal.... It isn't uncommon. BUT I WENT ALMOST 22 YEARS thinking both my parents knew what I was gonna be before I arrived. I'm just uber flabbergasted that my baby shower was Gender Neutral themed and people probably bought me yellow and green items... Probably why my first baby blanket was green..... I never knew any of this. I cannot imagine going without knowing the sex of my child... Yeah my mom knew, but my dad didn't..... I just have no idea how he could go without knowing. This is just mind blowing to me. I know its common, but as my 22nd birthday approaches I feel like this is information I should have known by now.
I texted my dad and this was his response... (ignore his texting skills... and he says no i dear on purpose... he isn't completely ignorant.)
