Shan I think pbn has solved the problem. I mean if your already grieving maybe you can just book it to be certain. Or would you feel to bad not telling dh? [emoji53] I'd already probably spilled the beans that I had saw the scan pic. Maybe he will want to stay team green and you can do it alone if he'll understand you need this for you.

Oh Shan! I don't want to see you torture yourself. Maybe you can call them and ask if they have the pic and if they can give you the gender over the phone?
Hi Sky! I am good. And totally not surprised or shocked. I really felt in my heart I was meant to be a mom of boys.
With that said, I did wake up today a little extra emotional and have been battling it all day. Mostly I'm dreading telling the people who I know will make the comments. I feel so protective of my little dudes like why do people think they aren't enough!?! So that's where my grief is right now. I hate that I care what people think and say.

Dreaming your an amazing person and you are so optimistic! Just don't tell the ones who won't be excited for you or who want to rub it in your face "I told ya so" I was trying to decide how to tell my family and since we do dinner every Sunday I was going to do a cake. Hubbys parents are watching the kids while we go on Saturday then we're going to do a little reveal with them and his sisters and our boys since one of our boys will be leaving for Florida with his grandparents the next day. So my cake lady is on vacation that weekend so that fell through and hubby says "why don't you just video the one with my parents and send it to your family since your not looking forward to telling them anyhow" so maybe you can just do something with the people closest to you if that's hubs and boys so be it. And let everyone else find out themselves at least if you send a pic or recording you can ignore the face to face comments.

Dreaming-you hit the nail on the head! It frustrates me so much that I care what others think! You are going to have 3 precious little guys -human beings- and no one should make you feel inadequate!!! My OB told me that he is the 3rd boy in his family. He obviously has done great things in his life bringing babies into the world!
On another note, my coworker has decided to name one of her twins Savannah-she is due this year. Well that was my back-up favorite name if we decided not to follow through with stealing Sophia back from DH's brother. I know it's not that big of a deal, she's so sweet and we don't hang out outside of work, but I could hear my coworkers being annoying about us both having "Savannah's."

Ash I think that's what we're going to do too. Pretty much everyone who already knows are closest to us and I told them all already that we're having a boy. They're all thrilled and not a single comment. So just letting everyone else find out on their own is probably the best way.
I still think it was fun to try to sway and know I gave it my best shot. I think I would feel differently if I hadn't tried.
Lola - the name thing is so tough sometimes. Just do what you want. That's really all that matters in the end.
Truly grateful for you guys!

I would just not tell them what you are having until you have the baby. That way it postpones the comments and when the baby is in their arms they wont be able to say anything negative about that beatiful little boy andf if they do that will show their true character. And also once you see that baby it wont matter anymore that its a boy you will be so in love with that little blessing that fought hard to get here. In the mean time go out and look at cute boy clothes and start picturing him in it and buy some new ones and it will start to get you excited about his arrival.
Ash & dreaming-you both have a great attitude!
Dreaming-how wonderful that you haven't had any negative comments! That's absolutely the way it should be!
Ash-love your cake reveal plan & great idea to send the video to your family so you won't hear their comments!
Unfortunately, the ones I'm closest to (my family), are the ones that I'm afraid to tell the most. I've already been told by one family member that they would laugh at me if I had 3 boys and not because they wouldn't love him, but they'd think "poor thing, prissy with 3 wild boys-hands full." If I hear boy, I almost feel the need to say "ok, go ahead & make your jokes-what's the best you've got for me???" My family likes to poke fun at one another out of love I suppose. I'm not the only one that gets the comments. My brother used to always say "I do not want a red-headed baby." No clue why he would even say that-I think it's gorgeous. Sure enough, he had a red-headed baby, even her eyebrows and she's beautiful, looks just like Pebbles (Flintstones), but we all laugh about how he was so anti-red hair ;)
Check out my sweet boys today. They are my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Lola I don't think the video will delay any comments but I'm also thinking of skipping Sunday dinner that week [emoji23] delay them a bit and give me time to gather my thoughts. I'll get rude comments weather it's a boy or girl! I've already had one saying a girl wouldn't fit in and many more saying they bet it's a boy so I'll be in a lose lose situation. They also think they're all doing it out of love but I don't like it at all! Love the pic ❤️ it's always so crazy to me to see siblings with different colored hair I love it! I have no idea why maybe because mine are all blondies like their dad and his family and my hair is dark as night and so is my parents and brothers.
