Also, I SO LOVE your avatar. I really, really, really wanted to name my daughter Margot but we already have a Marshall and I thought we would be forever known as "the crazy Mar-People"
Then, very, very weirdly, the heroine in Wes Anderson's next movie was Suzy. Which actually is my daughter's name, spelled exactly the same and everything. (cue spooky music, or since this is a Wes Anderson movie, an obscure 70's song by Cat Stevens)
Oh and was there a question I missed?? You said something about your comments and I am not seeing what I missed.
Wow. Your sway story is amazing. Thanks for the link.
Yep. I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan and Margot has been my (and DHs) #1 girl name since we started thinking of a family 6 years ago.
I don't think you missed a question...but I'm not able to keep up with all the stuff on here...I'm so impressed at how you get back to everyone with such personalized comments. It's pretty great.
I'm meeting with OB next week, if we get the thumbs up on a third pregnancy I have some more questions on swaying but for now I'm just lurking and catching up with all the old material on here. DH is pretty intrigued with the science/trends behind some of this too...but I'm trying not to get my hopes up since I have a feeling I'm going to get a big fat "Bad Idea" from the OB....sigh.
Margot is a beautiful name. Wasn't Margot adopted into the all boy Tenenbaum family? Maybe I'm misremembering...
I wish you the best in this journey.
Yes she was! Our family already has a Chas and Richie (no joke - my boys are just a quirky and bright in their own ways) so a little Margot would definitely make the plot line of our family story fun ;0)
Just got the thumbs up from my OB to keep moving forward. At least the door was not slammed in my face. Baby steps.
Congratulations on getting the thumbs up from your OB!
I see online that in real life Wes Anderson was one of three boys with no sister, and I think in the movie the parents had all biological sons and grandsons with no girls... I should watch that movie again.
I guess it makes sense that this gender stuff effects us in deep lifelong ways, consciously or subconsciously.
Here is one for the hubbies out there. :) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/sway...-part-1-a.html
There are seriously a TON of super duperly creative people in all one gener families. Joss Whedon is one of 5, Hayao Miyazaki is one of 4, Jonas Salk and the Leakey family (anthropologists) are one of 3 boys, Laura Ingalls Wilder is from an all girl family, as is Virginia Woolf, I could go on and on.
I believe there is something strangely freeing about being in an all one gender family. Ya don't have to be "the boy" or "the girl" in a family of all one gender, it sort of frees you up to be what you want to be instead of having to fill in some familial role. :)
