I can't deal with the comments I am going to get about this pregnancy so I am going to keep it quiet for as long as I can. I know my mom will instantly start saying "this one better be a girl, I want a flower girl so I can renew my vows to your dad." As if me having a girl would be the only good reason for her to renew her vows.
DH's family just hates the fact that we have had any kids (they hate me and act as if our children are the spawn of the devil). We obviously don't have any contact with them (I do send them a Christmas letter though, just in case they ever change their minds)
I know I will get loads of FB comments about how a little girl would be so perfect after two boys.
Even after I find out this little one is a boy (I'm almost positive he is a he- 99.9%) I won't be telling anyone until he is born. I don't need the pity comments or the "will you try again for a girl."
So, yes, I am waiting until Christmas to do a cute pregnancy reveal and that will only leave me three months of ridiculous comments.
DH thinks it's fun to keep this a secret and thinks a Christmas reveal will be special. Little does he know I am not keeping it a secret for it to be "special," I'm doing it to save my sanity and enjoy this pregnancy.
I am already, surprisingly, okay with this little guy being a boy and I'm already thinking of names and all the cute things I will buy him.
He will be our last baby, even though we planned for five. My health issues have taken a turn for the worst and it looks like I'm going to need a radical hysterectomy after he is born :(
As I said before, I just want to enjoy every second of this pregnancy because I will never be able to experience this again. I love being pregnant and I love newborns and I refuse to let anyone make me feel like I need to "have" a certain gender.
Thanks for letting me rant :)
