Keeping it a secret from Fam & friends ttc

For years everyone has been asking when where we going to try for a girl and we always said no. It's been ten years and in August after babysitting my niece it made us emotional and ever since then we decided we should try. August was too late to try. In September we had no luck and now we are trying whatever we can in October. We are trying to keep it a secret till we find out the sex of the baby or Christmas.... we will see. Wish us luck guys. We need it. We are in our early 30's so I feel hopeful. Nobody has a clue we are trying lol
