Pregnancy hormones

I think this may be some hormones kicking in, but I'm having a hard time today.
When I first met DW she had long, beautiful hair. She dressed like a girl (not overly girly but she wore girls clothes). In the last 1 1/2 years she's changed her appearance drastically. She cut all her hair off and continues to keep it super short. She only wears men's clothing now. She is constantly mistaken for a male. She's called sir on a daily basis and she has gained around 80lbs since we've been together. I don't care one bit about the weight she's gained, I love her no matter what. But I guess it does kind of bother me that she's gone so masculine. I'm afraid our little girl will call her daddy or associate her with being male because of her apperance. I would never stop loving her because of this, I just wish I knew a better way to adjust to such a change. I haven't changed much at all since our relationship began, but I look back on pictures from when we first got together and look at pictures now and it looks like I'm with 2 different people. I guess maybe its just all these pregnancy hormones

Re: Pregnancy hormones
Your child won't be confused about your wife's gender identity, as long as you both identify as her parents. Kids just grow up knowing you as their parents regardless of how you dress or behave, and then they learn about gender constructs later.
Did she change before you got pregnant? If so, did you have a problem with it then? If not, it very well could be your hormones.
