I am just wondering....

My mom called me this morning and said that usual thing that she says to me every morning since I've been pregnant.... "How are my girls?" Referring to my unborn child, who I do not know is a boy or a girl, and myself. I have asked her not say this because I can't help but think that if the baby is a boy, will she be disappointed because she REALLY wants me to have a girl? I mean, she is hell bent that this baby is a girl. I have heard so many people ask women who are pregnant if they want a boy or a girl and have always heard...."Just a healthy baby." Deep down, I always thought... well... you have to want a girl or boy? Which is it? Not until I became pregnant did I realize that it really doesn't matter to me. I have waited so long for a baby and will be so blessed with whatever God decides to give us. Really. My thoughts are, we have two boys; so we know boys. But, it would be nice to have a girl. I have the most precious name picked out for a boy and look forward to being able to give him this name that means the world to me. We have the girl name narrowed down to three. Sorry guys! Not telling! I want something to be a surprise! My Mimi and Elle know and they have been sworn to secrecy. Elle knows because it's a name that I have loved for years and years. How can I NOT tell Mimi when she asked? She is Mimi after all. No cheating or bribing her either! She won't cave unless you bribe her with a Coach purse anyway.

Ok.. getting back to my mom calling.... She said "There is a couple in their church (who are really good people, but their kids are a different story) and apparently, their son was cheating on his wife and the wife caught him and she took a shotgun at close range and..... sit down for this one my blogger friends......shot him in the ding-dong." Seriously. I'm not kidding. My mouth dropped to the floor and the first thing I thought of was "Who is the couple and do I know them?" Then it hit me... How is that poor man gonna go to the bathroom and have sex again? I mean... what is wrong with people? She said that the church is trying to keep exactly what happened on the down low and are just telling people that he was "shot." Uummm hellooooooo? This is a SMALL town and that is BIG news! The woman actually shot the man in the butt and the bullet went straight through him and shattered his "ding dong." Mom said that they have to operate on his bowels and possibly take his bowels out and give a colostomy bag; an artificial bladder and his penis is completely gone. I still can not believe what she is telling me. Shock. I also thought about Lorena Bobbit who sliced off her husband's member several years ago. How do people live with themselves after doing something like this? I'm at a loss for words.
