Today while getting everything “out in the open” the circumcision topic was brought up again (by me, as usual). Den is very very firmly convinced the circumcision is the ONLY option for a baby boy, that it would be – in his words – “gross” if the baby wasn’t circ’d. So tonight while awake and completely bored I poked around the Mothering forum on Circumcision. Oh my god, I feel ill. I could never, will never, do that to my son. I just don’t understand it at all.<\/p>\n

Hopefully reading some of those things will convince Den. In a normal situation I think reading anything like that would completely freak him out<\/i> – but he really feels very strongly about this so I know he will have issues. I read the most disturbing story about a woman whose husband totally freaked out when she tried telling him exactly what circumcision was…. because if he admitted that it was better not to circumcise his son, it would mean admitting that his own penis was lacking and that idea was so horrifying to him.<\/p>\n

It all just really chilled me. I’m really hoping we get a little baby girl so we can avoid all of this!<\/p>\n

But you know, other than the circ issue, I have really<\/i> warmed up to the idea of having a baby boy. Seeing others’ baby boys reminds me of when my brother was young and it just makes my heart melt. My brother was the most adorable little kid<\/a>, he really was. Yeah, I think I could deal very well with a baby boy. :) (But of course I will still secretly hope for a girl. ;) )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
