We know the sex, but 2 strangers in one week asked me if I knew what I was having. I said "a girl 😊" and they both said something along the lines of "ugh, everybody finds out now a days. . ." lol I was like "um, thanks, I'm excited too?. . ." so, my point being that there are some people out there who think finding out the sex is BS and no matter what you do, you can never please everyone. Just do your thing and don't let everyone else stress you out (easier said than done, I know)! You'll all find out soon what you're having and maybe the people who don't know what to get you now will get you stuff after the baby is born and they know the gender. You MIL is just being full of herself and annoying. That's a MIL for you, though lol 😣 keep your head up and best of luck to you!!
Not finding out the sex!
Anyone else not finding out the sex of their baby and getting a little annoyed with people's responses to it? The one that kills me is people saying they don't know what gifts to get because they don't know the sex. Really? It's a baby, regardless of sex, they all need the same things. Or we've had people guess based on gifts we get at showers and tell us they think we know and we're just keeping it a secret from everyone. Why would we lie about that? And my in-laws are CONVINCED we're having a boy, but only because my sister-in-law is having a girl. That's not how it works! My mother-in-law only buys us boy clothes because she's so sure it's a boy. I know it's TOTALLY my hormones making me crazy, but, man, it's annoying! Just let us be excited about our baby, regardless of sex. Don't make us feel bad because you don't know what to call the baby or because YOU want to know! We're not finding out because we really don't have a preference and because we're looking forward to the surprise in the delivery room! Ok, hormone-induced rant over. 😜

I'm totally with you! We didn't find out I registered for all neutral gifts and did the room in neutral colors, we call the baby, baby phelps. I've loved not knowing we're not set on any names either we just want to go with the flow and have a surprise and people really just suck the fun out of it. My family is convinced it's a girl my husbands family is convinced it's a boy. His mom thinks it's a boy cause I was never sick and she never got sick with her boys, yeah I don't think that matters since I'm not her child. My mom says it's a girl cause my butt grew well I did gain 30lb and do squats every leg day sooo. Just annoys me why cant it just be a healthy baby?! Everytime someone voices their opinion I just cut them off and say it's a healthy baby and that's what matters to us.
Lol I don't understand... What happened to the idea of gender neutral gifts? I'd be buying duck outfits galore if I didn't know (because babies in little ducky outfits are so damn CUTE)... I don't think it should be such a big deal to everyone else when it's you and your SO that will be finding out in the delivery room 1st! Just avoid everyone until then (easier said than done, I know)
We don't know either and a lot of friends have been giving us their used baby clothes. It's great, really helping with the expense, but mist if my friends had boys. So if we have a girl, everyone will think it's a boy anyway because I'm not going to worry about making sure the clothes are gender appropriate. Though I do have a really cute dinosaur costume that I will dress my baby in if people get to obnoxious! Boy or girl? Nope. It's a dinosaur...
I feel you on this!! We didn't find out and there are only two kinds of responses we get... "Wow... I'd be going crazy. I HAD to know " and "Oh my god that's so wonderful. It'll be such a special moment you'll always remember" its one or the other. LOL. I just take the negative with a grain of salt. a lot of people used the" IDK what to buy you...you didn't find out the sex.." And those people just gave us gift cards etc. Which whatever. Helped us out a lot with getting the rest of Baby's stuff off the registry. I say power to all the mommas who let it be a surprise. And power to the ones who find out. We shouldn't be shaming each other. We all know better . Hope all you mommas are having a wonderful pregnancy. Best wishes with delivery and labor. Me and Baby have 7 more weeks left (:
I think the idea of anything gender neutral really freaks people out for some reason. Before I found out the sex of my baby, I always referred to him as 'they' since its GN. But my family would always call him it.And I really prefer GN everything anyway but it's really hard for people to grasp that concept I think.Anyway, wish you lots of luck and that everything goes well!! ✨❤️
We didn't find out either and my god are people annoyed haha. I've got the mother in law saying did you find out yet every time we have a scan and moaning because she wants to knit in colour ( I don't like knitted things anyway!) my mum asking if we managed to see anything at each and every scan. Friends are so impatient! Everyone saying its a boy , I think because we have a girl already! Like jeeeeze we've waited 8 years for this baby we couldn't care less if it's a boy or girl let us have our moment and our surprise!
