some headlines i came across the last few days:

Weight Gain Between First and Second Pregnancies Associated With Increased Odds of Second Child Being a Boy– if this is true, the odds are, my next child will be a boy. hm, let’s wait and see.

If you want more babies, find a man with a deep voice — if this is true, i should have dozens of kids by now. no chance.

Is There Really A ‘Mommy’ Gene In Women? — if this is true, then i must have been genetically predisposed to choose motherhood in exchange for a career, lavish vacations and leisurely lifestyles. damn, and i thought it was free will at work. seriously, though, i’ve never realized motherhood and career/fame/fortune are mutually exclusive. for the sake of the future of humanity, i fervently hope this is wrong. can you imagine if all the intellectual, career-driven women achievers out there opt NOT to have children. what a loss to the gene pool!
