Animal, vegetable, boy or girl?

 

 

The last time I was pregnant, (not all that long ago) people would ask me, "do you know if it’s a boy or a girl"?

Shocking in this day and age apparently, to not seek out that answer. You can now pay an extra $50 dollars in BC to learn that from a routine ultrasound.

Why is this always such a big thing?
