Are you waiting to find out baby's sex? Have you in the past? - Page 2 « Back to Group Discussions

didnt find out with first two and wont with this one. team radioactive purple!

[UCmamaToMany]

We have :      - I am fairly certain this one will be a girl though, as much as I want a boy to help re-even things out again. Technically we have 4 girls and 4 boys but with the one being transgender it throws the balance off to 5 girls and 3 boys, which is why I would love to have a boy. But I keep Fruedianly calling this baby a "she, her" when talking about it and a couple of other things, so I think she'll be a girl. :P

We will be finding out the gender and will be scheduling the gender scan for on my birthday! So I'll get a really cool present for my birthday . . . finding out the baby's gender!

We are waiting to find out. DD is already excited about her job of telling us what it is. I have one boy and one girl, clothes for both, clothes for neutral and all neutral baby gear. I'm excited to have that surprise waiting at the end of labor. I'm frankly a bit scared to do it again so at least I'll know there will be a fun surprise at the end. 

People are already mad I'm not finding out. However, the majority of people who are close to me are convinced it's a girl. Even my kids both say it's a girl. We shall see!

Can we talk gender neutral clothing?

Yellow ducks and green elephants have no place on one of my babies, but finding cute, unisex clothing can be challenging. I don't plan to purchase much, but the only baby boy clothes I have are from last year's June baby and I gave away all NB sizes to a friend. It's always nice to have something new too.

some of these things fit into my infant aesthetic - pretty colors, neutral, and basic shapes

Ohh thank you. I will see if I can find more and link it, since I too am sick of elepants and baby duckies.

funny, I was just looking at baby stuff today thinking to myself, Jeeze this is going to be hard! I bought a yellow striped gown and a white gown with a yellow duck LOL!

What about rooms? Im curious to know what your decoration ideas are.

I had to know with dd1 bc I was certain it was a boy. But with this baby I'm on the fence. Not finding out will avoid a lot of pink stuff if its a girl. But dh wants to know which will be hard on me...at least I have 11 weeks to think about it.

We have a boy and a girl.  We found out with DS, we were surprised by DD.  I don't think I'll bother finding out this time.  It was a nice surprise, and I don't really care either way.  I'm more nervous about having another SN kid.  I know the "as long as they're healthy" thing is a cliche, but that's really the big thing for me.  (And yes, we already have one SN child and my husband is kind of SN as well so it's not like we couldn't do another SN child, but I'd really like another low-maintenance babe like DD was.)

The babe will be in bed with us throughout the first year and I don't anticipate having the sort who fancies being put down for naps. If so, we'll cross that bridge then. My almost 1yo will, I hope, transition to crib sleep in his sister's room before birth.

[tiqa]

re: rooms.  We're also not making a nursery.  Baby stays in our room for the first year, and I think after he/she will double up with the same-gender older sib.  Or maybe the two older kids will room together for a while and baby will have the smaller room.  We do have a fourth bedroom but that's a multipurpose room that we don't want to give up for a while.  It's my office and a playroom and homeschool room.  It's actually the largest bedroom.  If there ever comes a time when all three will have to have separate rooms, they will have the space, but we don't want to give that room up any time soon.  So... long story to say that we're not really concerned with baby decor at this point.  :)

[almadianna]

also no nursery. dont see a need for it.

[broodymama]

No nursery here either.  The baby will sleep with me for pretty much the first year, then will share a room with my boys until he/she is big enough to go in a twin bed.  The boys room will have room for another toddler bed in there for awhile since DS2 is still in a toddler bed.  DS1 and DD1 are each in twin demiloft beds.  DD2 desperately needs to move out of her toddler bed but I'm waiting until this baby is born so I can see what kind.  Either the boys room or the girls room will be getting a set of bunk beds to go with the single already in there.

I have to say, part of me wouldn't mind knowing the sex so I can have a little more fun picking yarn for knitting longies, but I'm not going to find out just for that.

[itsajenism]

I've never waited to find out, but I'm leaning toward waiting this time. It's our last baby so it would be kind of fun to find out at the birth this time. I'm just not sure if I'll be able to hold out because I'm not the biggest fan of surprises either.

I'm in that exact position. Found out every single time, last baby (for real this time), and not a surprise lover. I don't know. I have until late July to decline or change my mind. Still leaning toward not finding out. 

[GoBecGo]

Well, my mind got made up for me - DD1 heard me turning it over with DP one evening and then walking to school next day she said "Mama please don't let the scan doctor tell you what the baby is, i really want to tell you!" so it's decided, we're waiting for the birth again.  :D

[kel]

We're waiting - I think!  I don't know now that I write that!  I've never found out before, but we both think it's a girl and I'm not really against knowing...  I guess if I end up with another ultrasound and it's really obvious. 

Oh, these baby onesies are beautiful (but pricey): https://www.winterwaterfactory.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_list&c=35

[venusthrow]

yep we are finding out. One of the reasons is that I don't have the personality to be patient and wait. The other reason is that we have three girls. If this is a boy I think I will need to be more prepared.  sure I will probably put him in lots of pink clothes and dresses but I guess I can have some stereotypical guyish stuff.

[avasmom]

I'm on the fence. We found out with our first two and did not find out with our second two. It really is fun waiting and having that extra surprise after they are born, but at the same time since this was an unexpected pregnancy I am having a much harder time connecting and I feel like knowing the sex earlier might help with that. We also have 2 boys and 2 girls so this little one will be the tiebreaker.  We still have time to decide though, so I am sure I will waffle back and forth until then :)

I've had so many dreams about baby's sex this week. Not premonition but confusion like can I call a boy my girl name and baby being a boy trapped in the body of a girl. Every time I think of the baby I think boy probably because I have four sons. I'm 100% thrilled with either, but am wondering if this trend continues if I'll feel disappointed with another daughter. Have those of you who have waited in the past thought of baby as he or she? Or it?
