Controversial Test
We watched the Today Show and they aired a segment on and ultra-early and ultra-controversial DNA based gender test. You can find out the gender of you unborn child as early as 5 weeks. I was like cool, but oh great it is probably dangerous. Turns out it is not dangerous. What makes it controversial is the media. They feel the need to create hysteria about people using this test to help make certain that they have the gender they want and not have to gender they don't want.
Well, we just want to know what we are having.
So why not get the news early?
I bought the test.
This will put us months ahead of the game. I figure aside from the coolness factor, we will be saving mucho dinero. Just think, 6-9 month-old summer clothing is on clearance right now. If we knew the sex of the child now we could buy the discounted clothes for next summer. If we wait till the typical 21 weeks or so, we will have to buy the clothes during that season thus spending twice the money. I will always be ahead the seasons. Genius.
But really is just too cool.
You just prick the finger of the pregnant lady send it on in to the DNA testing geniuses and poof, you know the sex within 48 hours. Cool.
