"Also, sorry for the double post, but it just confuses me the way people are so damn interested in policing everything this couple does with regards to this pregnancy. If they’re not criticizing the baby’s name, they’re criticizing the completely innocuous way the father has chosen to express his joy, or criticizing them for going to a hospital instead of having the baby at home since they can afford it, or criticizing them for having nice accommodations at the hospital or trying to criticize her for having a C-section before they even know if she had one or not (which isn’t their business anyway). And that’s after months of people vacillating between either insisting she wasn’t actually pregnant and it was a conspiracy or reducing a woman with a 20 year singing career to an incubator by calling her some variation of “pregnant Beyonce”."
