Just Weaving the Web of Lies...
So you know how I mentioned that keeping the sex of this baby under wraps is really hard? Well, my husband came up with a brilliant plan that frankly makes it 100 times easier. He has just been randomly dropping pronouns into conversation... he apparently started doing it at work last week when coworkers were harassing him about it. He told me about it last night and I thought it was a great idea, so I encouraged him to continue it. He has "slipped" twice today with the family... oh yes, we'll keep them all guessing if it kills us. Plus, it's even more brilliant because it makes it easier if we ACTUALLY do slip. (hasn't happened yet, but will, I'm sure... I already have to rehearse everything baby-related I say in my head to screen it for pronouns and gender clues)
I know a lot of people think they are pretty sure of themselves, and I don't want anyone to feel 100% sure they are right, so I'm all for anything that can be used to keep 'em all guessing. I seriously think there is a distinct possibility that my Target cashier friend who is in the know might be getting visits from friends and family. ;)

Well, really, that just makes sense. I mean, you can't say "IT" all the time. I'd flip between he and she all the time. Plus it's fun to torture people that way. :-)
