This be the verse

Last night, which was a Friday, i managed to stay awake until 9 o'clock. Do you hear me people? I was so excited and happy and i kind of feel like i'm getting my life back. Woohoo!
In other news, there is one question that everybody asks as soon as they hear i'm preggo: Do you know what you're having? Some people even asked this after the 8 week scan. Hello, we could hardly see legs, let alone a penis (or not?).
Are people obsessed, or what? What does it matter to them what gender my unborn child is? Or is it just polite small-talk? I have found myself to be guilty of the same thing at times.
One colleague said to me "you have to find out, so you can sort out all the clothes and stuff". Excuse me? Prior to gender screening, did babies not used to wear any clothes at all for the first two weeks of life? Sorry child, we didn't know if you were a pink or blue wearer so there's nothing to wear, i'm afraid.
Anyway, i (politely) replied "makes no difference, as no daughter of mine will ever wear pink anyway. This is a feminist i'm building", but i'm just not sure if people get me.
My favourite colour is navy blue. Why would i start buying pink all of a sudden when i've never been remotely interested in this colour before? I'm already checking out blue prams, blue baby converse shoes and blue car seats. God forbid if people can't see immediately what gender my child is.
I'm not sure if the gender thing is more chilled in Sweden, but here everyone is obsessed and it drives me mad. Why does a newborn child need to look like they're a boy or a girl? Until a child reaches puberty, they're the same anyway. And anyone who claims that boys like cars and my daughter is crazy about pink, think again. They are what you make them. As far as i'm aware there is only one princess born this year, all other babies are mere mortal children. You push pink and fairy crap on your daughter, of course that's what she'll think she likes.
It's hard. Having a child and ensuring you and "it" remain feminist in all you believe in.
And what we're having? A child, is my answer.
