Congrats! Although having a kid for me right now would be next to the worst news imaginable, () I can understand that it isn't that way for everyone!
Woooohhhh!
Considering we weren't even sure it was possible for us to have any more children, and we were forcibly prevented from even trying for almost a decade, it's very exciting to us.
Probably more so for me, since I don't have to have my body altered and then go through trying to squeeze a cantaloupe out of my nostril, so to speak.
It's going to be hard for me not to tell the folks, which is why I told you guys, just so I could get some of it out! Of my two siblings and I, only my brother and I have had kids, and only one each. His wife is insane and mean, and I think he probably doesn't want any more, and my sister actually divorced her first husband because she didn't want kids and he did. And of course, my folks were as dubious of another grandson out of me as I was, given the surgery. So the moment I say "grandkid", they're going to Flip. Out.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
