I know some people aren’t for the gender reveal. But this is my 3rd baby. I don’t need a shower. And our church is so excited we are pregnant. They want to celebrate. My husband is the senior pastor and this is the first baby we’ve had since we moved into this ministry.

We are supposed to have the scan on Friday. But it’s the holidays. Everyone is so busy and tired and overwhelmed with life and parties. I’ve had multiple people at our church offer to throw me a gender reveal party. So sweet. This would be our only party and no gifts so no pressure which is great. Just cake and a chance to share with our family and friends.

But I don’t see anyone wanting to add another party to their holiday plans. I don’t want to burden anyone. We could just find out Friday and share with our ministry later. Or we can wait and be surprised. We thought about not having a party and just doing a big gift for our kids to open with balloons. This is probably my last baby so our last party. And like I said I don’t need a shower with gifts. I just want a casual celebration. No pressure. But if we are gonna throw a party, we’d have to wait a couple of weeks after we got the gender.

I’m torn. I kinda want to know for Christmas. But I’m also honored anyone would want to celebrate with us. The circumstances around our last baby were really different. I just want to be excited!

Would you wait? Would you find out and keep it quiet and have a party to surprise everyone else?
