First off, this makes my heart break. As if that poor family hasn’t had enough tragedy, now this?? I’d heard she had lung cancer, but I stupidly assumed (NEVER do that when cancer is involved!) that she’d lick it.? Because she’s proven she’s a tuff gal. And I thought there was no way fate would be that cruel to that family.? I guess I was wrong.? My first thought was of poor Will. He’s only 13 years old, for pitys sake.? And to lose both parents in two years is just so much for a young man like him to bear.? I hope has a fraction of his parents’ strength.
Anyhow, my heart stopped when I heard the news. I’m so sad for that family. What a loss of such a wonderful woman.
Secondly, lest you worry about poor lil ol’ me, I’m surprisingly okay with the whole no-gender thing.? I’m fairly confident we’ll find out eventually.? And even if, heaven forbid, we don’t?? That’s okay.? How is this possible?? I’m horrendously planning-oriented.? Not knowing a detail like this as soon as I possibily can should be crippling.? But I think my determined, relaxed attitude towards the entire pregnancy is rubbing off here too.
I’ve had a lot of people say that crossed legs mean it’s a girl.? But I’m pretty sure Jackson had crossed legs…and for whatever reason (I’ve already forgotten, BAD MOTHER) we weren’t able to find out his gender for weeks upon weeks! So that theory doesn’t exactly fly. Truly, I think it could easily be either boy or girl.? I lean towards boy simply because that’s what I’ve had so far.? And if that’s the case?? K really has to get on the whole name thing.? So far we have NO prime candidates and THAT?? *DOES* make me twitchy.? Go figure.
