Not so intuitive

[sal_amanda]

My mom went to see an "intuitive reader" last week while she was off for the holiday. I have no idea what the difference is between an intuitive reader and a psychic.

In any case, Mom went in trying not to reveal any info that this woman could glean from and she kept saying something about a grandaughter. Mom tried to brush it off, apparently, by pointing out that she's a school nurse and is around kids all day, particularly one girl that comes down to see her every morning, but she was still insisting it was a grandaughter. So Mom finally fesses up that her daughter is expecting. The reader then said something about seeing a dark-haired girl with a round face who likes music.

Ha! This is where I have to question it. Mom's Italian so she's got dark hair (well, now it's dyed, but you get the idea). However, I got the Polish side all the way and was fairly blonde when I was little. John, being the Aryan that he is, was also fairly blonde when he was little. Therefore, the odds of us having a dark-haired child of either gender is pretty darn slim. Now I really hope it's a boy just so I can totally prove this woman wrong.

In other news, I'm not feeling well for some reason. I think it's sympathy for my favorite in-law who just recently revealed her pregnancy and is due almost exactly three months after me. Probably didn't help that I was on the phone with her last night until about 1:30 a.m. and then didn't sleep terribly well due to some weird ass dreams for the vast majority of the night. So now I'm feeling kinda funky and am pretty much a waste product today.

All intuitive reader crap aside, I don't see why it's so hard to imagine that your child might have dark hair. Just because only your Polish is showing, doesn't mean the Italian won't pop out on the Squishy.

I'm not sure which is dominant or recessive or any of that crap, but I'd be more inclined to see it as a possibility if there was any dark hair on John's side. There really is none so should we have a dark-haired child, I will be very, very surprised.

Guess it will be a surprise! the grab bag of genetics is always fun! Oh, we thought about the initials with the middle name. EZ Sauter. Thinking the easy (ez) could go places. Just a thought. I always trying to consider all things when picking a name, so at least I know what to expect.

I think most of the time initials are taken with all three at once. But you never know. It's not written in stone yet anyway. I've still been considering Rebecca as a middle name since it rhymes with my maiden name and was always kind of a goofy nickname for me with my friends.
