Anyone else do this

Thanks so much ladies. It's nice to know. I'm not the only one who does this. Sushi kitty thanks for the laugh. Not sure if I will have anyone at my ultrasound with me. I read in a post earlier that your husband wil be deployed. So is mine. He just left and should return when I am about 30 weeks. Was going to wait till he got back but don't think I can and I want to have some time to just plan for the baby and pick out names.

Yeah last deployment DS #4, I went to my gender u/s alone. He was deployed. It was normal to go 5 weeks at a time not receiving a call from him. So what I did was I bought a HUGE packet of "It's a boy" confetti in a card. So when he open the card it would just get everywhere. And then I folded like a 4'x4' poster in the care package box, saying congrats its a boy, with the gender ultrasound copy pictures. I was a brat about it and put "It's a girl" on the outside of the box. I don't know why I did that, know I don't think that is funny anymore, lol. I think he got the box in 3-4 weeks in Afghanistan. Which is faster than waiting for a call from him.

sorry DS #3, he was our 4th child

With my last son I was so hopeful he was a she that I broke down at the ultrasound when I found out he was a boy. I'd rather not go through that again and just be already okay with a third boy.

yes that. I keep telling myself (and other people) - that I want a BROTHER for my son.. but really I want a daughter. I also don't want to know the sex until s/he is born. Sometimes I feel like if I know it's a boy again, I won't be excited :(
