Other People's Perspectives

So I go to get my hair cut last night, and after telling my stylist that I'm pregnant, she asked if we're going to find out whether it's a girl or a boy. When I said no, she sounded so disappointed. It's funny - I've gotten this reaction from a few people!! I just think that their total disappointment is a funny reaction! I'm totally unfazed about not finding out - I'm excited for it to be a surprise! But then again I'm not a big fan of the need to assign gender roles to newborns by having them wear pink or blue ~ our child can wear white, beige, green, yellow, pink, blue, purple, black - no matter whether it's a boy or a girl! The poor child will become aware of gender roles soon enough in life, let's not rush it! :-)

And there's my 2 cents!
