While my husband and I don't know the sex of our child (and we're not finding out until he or she is born) we are currently trying to decide whether or not, if our child is a boy, we want to circumcise him.
I know that there are a lot of very strong opinions on the subject, and I am trying to weigh the pros and cons. I think that my husband wants to have our son circumcised, and I am tempted to just defer to him for the decision because he has the equipment and I feel as though he would be best to make the decision. However, I still have my own reservations.
I mean, I know that there is a slightly lower chance of contracting and transmitting an STD for a man who is circumcised, and I also know that there is a slightly lower risk of contracting a urinary tract infection for men who are circumcised, but is that "slightly lower risk" worth putting my child through all that pain? I don't know.
Also...and this makes me feel very guilty, but I don't think I would be able to be in the room with him while the doctor performed the operation. I can imagine myself getting very upset at seeing my baby upset. My husband says that he would want to be in the room when it happened, which eases my mind a bit, but if I couldn't even be in the room with my baby while this happened, how can I make the decision to have this done to my baby?
I think I will probably go with whatever my husband chooses, but we'll see. I don't know if his mind is 100% made up right now.
The cake! It says "Congrats it's a ?" because we don't know the sex of the baby.
This is the front of the card that my mother-in-law got me. I think it's hysterical!
This is our diaper pail. I have the lid to it on my head...something always ends up on my head. My mom wrapped it in tissue paper and then filled it up with goodies!
Some bibs from my mom.
Super-cute onesies!
My friend, Kristin made these thank you cards for me.
And Chantal made me these giraffe pictures to put on the walls of my nursery. I can't wait!
