In my gender reveal party scenario....only DH and I know gender and then share it with everyone else!! That way, I will be composed if I know it it blue and still have enough bundled excitement if it is pink! My family has already been told why I don't want to find out gender...or at least shared gender...it is not so simple with his family.
No more spotting today!!'06 '06 '07

After being told at 18 weeks, the prayed and swayed for "lady"bug is in my belly. Our Christmas gift comes with some health challenges, but I know that we are strong family and will celebrate her!

My worry with a gender reveal party is... If its a boy. I couldn't think of anything worse than being stuck in a room full of people feeling sorry for me and giving me there condolences. You'd like to think that my family would be excited regardless of gender but I fear this wouldn't be the case.
I'm also very intrigued about this hlmc... Can't wait to hear your story

My deal is that they would have to be nice....if I just tell them on day of big u/s...it will be an oh well, three boys that is fine...too bad you don't have a girl in there...
and that is why I don't want to share gender until birth, but my DH wants to let it be public way earlier than I want too. We have compromised and will find out at the 20 week mark and have a party and reveal around 30 weeks, so that I only have 8-10 weeks of pregnancy hormones and then would have a baby to show off and cuddle after that!!
3 boys....what is your family like? What comments have you fielded from them so far? I have a list!!!'06 '06 '07

Ladybugs you would not believe!! My mum had two sons after me so was desperate for a grand daughter from day one. She came with me to my scan for DS1 and cried when they said he was a boy! Every pregnancy after that she has been very deflated about. No excitement just oh well! Better luck next time. She has convinced my whole family and friends that I medically can't have a girl. I don't have a bad relationship with my mum, but she sometimes doesn't realise how what she says can be hurtful. Actually I must admit since the last two losses she does seem a little less worried about the gender... But has now convinced herself and my family I can no longer carry children full stop (let alone girls). She has some funny views lol.
Once I find out gender I have to tell everyone, I couldn't keep it until birth. Purely on the bases I hate people telling me... "This could be your girl" when I know its not. It hurts me more than the commiserations. Obviously this would be completely different if I was in fact pregnant with a daughter and in which case I could keep it a secret for longer and smirk to myself when anyone said "bet its another boy".

I hope that you are baking a pink one in there just to do the smirking!!!! My DS1 was the first grandson, but to my dad, he was not as important as the grandson that my brother had 7.5 months later. When I was preggo with DS2, my sister (who has 2 girls) kept on saying "your second boy" all throughout the prenancy. My SIL does rub it in that they have their "princess"....a term I do despise!
What I have realized that I control is my response to them....and right now I choose to have joy in my boys, two or three.'06 '06 '07

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had these issues with family and friends. Practically all my friends and family has girls and I feel like its this "club" that I'm not allowed to be a part of. My SIL actually told me right before I found out that I was pregnant that "if" I had a another child it would be another boy b/c she can't see us having a girl. Some people don't think before they speak. I was secretly mad at her for a while. I hope we all get the gender we desire and we can have a good laugh at the people who are being so negative!
