At a work luncheon today we started talking about the unknown sex of the pregnant woman’s baby and I just knew I should’ve been covering my ears. I am the only one in my work group who does not have a child, and two couples just recently had their first child, so there is always talk about gross baby stuff. Well, today they were talking about how the pregnant woman and her husband are choosing not to find out the sex of the baby until the delivery, but how they were going today for the appointment that would tell them the sex, if they were going to find out. Then they started talking about the first baby and how they couldn’t really even see the sex on the ultrasound, even though the doctor was able to identify it.  She described it to them like this: “It either looks like a turtle or a hamburger”.

For some reason, I was okay with the turtle part, but the hamburger part made me a little queasy. That visual just doesn’t sit right with me. And why did we have to talk about that at lunch??
