The following is an open letter to my cousin and co-blogger, Emily.
Dear Cousin,
For the LIFE OF ME, I cannot figure out WHY you and that bearded cradle-robber you married don’t want to know the sex of your unborn child. I mean, SERIOUSLY. This is 2007! (Isn’t it? I don’t know, I haven’t had a lot of sleep lately, the details are a bit fuzzy…)
Anyhoo, I KNOW the ultrasound was yesterday and I KNOW you didn’t find out, but cousin, I beseech you, call that ultrasound tech and tell her you changed your mind and you want to know! And if you and Andy can’t do it for yourselves, DO IT FOR ME!
I mean, you owe me, cousin. Think about it. Remember when you were supposed to be my roommate at Asbury College but you totally left me hanging and went to this craphole instead? And I was a roommate-less loser and had to room with the colon-cleanser-abusing exercise addict whose microwave veggie burgers constantly stunk up our room? It was horrible! You owe me, cousin! And what about the time I got you an interview at that place we used to work together? Then you got the job and we had so much fun! Of course it turned out to be the worst place to work ever, but HEY – it got you started and you’ve been movin’ on up the envelope-stuffing corporate ladder ever since! If it weren’t for me you might be bagging at the IGA! THINK ABOUT THAT!
I suffered through your first pregnancy not knowing what gender baby you were gonna pop out, and I just don’t know if I can stand the suspense this time. I might DIE. Seriously. Do you want that on your head?
Just find out and whisper it in my ear! It’ll be our little secret! Plleeeeeeaaasseeeeee!
Love,
Pashoo
P.S. Told you I was feeling snarky.
P.P.S. We kicked NaBloPoMo’s butt! Yay us!
On that note…..I got a call from my niece yesterday. The baby she is carrying…the one not due until April 20th….is a GIRL!! My first great-niece. What a relief. FINALLY someone to dump all of these girl clothes on! 🙂
Love the letter. Hopefully your cousin calls you with the news you are wanting.

Not knowing the gender of our baby till she was delivered was the most special and wonderful surprise ever!!! We are so thankful we waited and didn’t find out…..plus, it was fun to torture everyone with not knowing and hearing all their guesses!!
I don’t understand why Emily is being SO difficult! How selfish!! 🙂
I’m such an impatient person, I know I could never be surprised by the sex of my baby. I am envious of anyone who can wait that long!

Emily, what is your problem?
Don’t you know Jenny NEEDS this information? Now, stop being selfish, and go make that call!
(BTW, Happy NoMoNaBloPoMo to both of you!)
You crack me up Jenny!!
You went to Asbury? I know people that went there seeing as I grew up a proper Methodist. Email me off line and we shall see if we know people.
I think it’s great that she is driving you crazy! I didn’t find out what I was having with my last & it was great! It drove everyone nuts including my hubby! Be strong Emily!
