My SIL is pregnant. About 3 months I think. This is her second, her first is a girl.
Well her and my husbands cousin parked in our driveway for a festival up town where we live (we only live a couple blocks from the square, believe me it's the closest place to park during Festival, people park MILES away and walk). Anyway, they popped in the house for a while to see the kids and chit chat.
I asked SIL if she's using the M/W in town, she is (used her with her DD, in that town there are 2 m/w and 1 OB, my SIL doesn't care for the OB because he's foreign and has a very thick accent...and DH's family is slightly racist). Anyway so I asked when her u/s would be, if they were finding out the gender.
She said yeah, it'll be next month
Then she says "I kinda hope it's a girl, if it's a boy I'm sending him to nursery for the whole time we're in the hospital until they 'make him look normal'. 
: I was sort of confused so I said "Huh?" and she says "Ya know, until they circumcise him. I helped L (the cousin) change K's (cousin's baby) diaper before they circumcised him and it was GROSS. I don't wanna go near it until it's normal." 
I honestly had to get up and leave the room...
I was going to spam her with information, but obviously she'll just shut me down...

: that it's a girl.
. That is very ignorant IMO. I had to be separated from my DS when he was born (due to an unneceasearean and glucose issues), and I can guarantee you that I would have done anything to have not been without him in the first crucial minutes, hours, etc. I am glad, though, only because that time saved my son's foreskin (I was going to circ originally and through grace, I was presented with the information I needed to realize that leaving your child intact is the only option).
She just said "Oh good!" and did a 'preach at the choir' thing. I don't know if she'll bring it up with SIL or not.
Just makes me want to run and hug my sweet intact little boy tighter!
