Interesting article about circumcision as seen on the Today Show this AM:

Not sure if we're having a boy or girl yet, but we're not circumcising if LO is a boy... though there is very interesting information in this article!

If we have a boy, we'll be doing it, but I read it anyways... some of those sentences made me laugh!

'once you and your penis are fully baked' ha ha

We are having our son circumcised.  My husband is all for it and I tend to agree.

 If my husband and I have a son in the future we will have him circumcised.

Jaden will definitely be circumcised.  Thanks for the article!  I had no idea it was SO controversial!

We got DS done, and plan to if this one is a boy, but that is an interesting article.

Good article!  We're not circumcizing this baby (his STD-free, etc. Daddy isn't circ'd, either), but I certainly understand why people do!

Wow, very interesting. We have never intended to circ if we have a boy and still won't.

That was a good article! Thanks for sharing....I loved the part....

Some scientists speculate that it protected the prehistoric penis as it swung, naked, through thick forests and over tall grasses; and unless you take your penis on that sort of excursion, they argue, you don't need a foreskin

Didn't anyone else find it funny that they interviewed Dr WANG about circumcision?

On a side note- my brother was not circumcised and as a child had a lot of complications. Once he was able to give himself baths he neglected to wash himself properly and was constantly getting infections and sore areas. So for those of you opting not to circumcise make sure you teach them how to clean themselves well!
