    I WISH I were given 10 bucks every time someone asked me: "Are you going to have a gender reveal party?"

    Of course, it's asked with the sweetest of intentions, and it's heartwarming to know that family and friends - and even some strangers - are so excited about our little one.

    But can we also admit that this fixation with a baby's sex is a tad strange? Should people really be so invested in a fetus' underdeveloped genital anatomy?
