This happened last night... I’m still trying to process my feelings.

Back Story: I never thought I would get pregnant, but I also knew if I ever did get pregnant I didn’t want to know the gender. Well, I miraculously got pregnant. My amazing husband has always wanted to know and is good at protecting me from things I don’t want to know. At 22 weeks pregnant, he found out the gender of our baby. I’m now 36 weeks pregnant. I tasked him with buying a going home outfit for our baby in the correct gender. That outfit came in the mail last night.

Last night: I got home from work and was told not to look in the washer. I figured the outfit was in the washer. My husband had his clothes in the dryer and They weren’t drying. So, (at 9 pm) he was being handy and was trying to figure out why the dryer wasn’t working. He climbed over our washer and dryer and I was supposed to hand him things as needed. He started talking about how he would need to find a laundromat to get his clothes dry for our baby shower today. And that’s when I f-Ed up. I walked away to find his laundry basket. He thought I went back down stairs since he didn’t need me anymore. I moved a blanket that was on his basket and BOOM. There’s the gender based clothing. In a panic I just threw the blanket back over the basket and grabbed another basket. I started crying while pulling out his clothes from the dryer and said, “ I just f***ed it up. “ My husband immediately knew what I meant. Now I’m trying to process my feelings of finding out the gender in a way I really didn’t want. I wanted that moment at delivery when the doctor says “ ITS A..”. I’m torn between going shopping and convincing myself I didn’t see anything. Most of me doesn’t want anyone to know the gender.

TLDR; moved a blanket off a laundry basket and found out the gender of our baby.
