anyone finding out the sex but not telling family or friends?

i think we really really want to find out the sex and prob, will find out!!!
but if we find out, i think we might keep it a secret from everyone else!
- as difficult as that may be!!

my sister in law is due to give birth any day now, and noone, including them, knows the sex. i must say that i am on the edge of my seat along with everyone else!
i totally see how much of a surprise it is!!
although a gender themed showers are really cute, i think i like all the anticipation surrounding the birth!

i figured i could always register for neutral and return for gender specific all before the baby is born...



anyone feel this way?

my girlfriend tried to do this and they lasted about 4 minutes before they spilled the beans. I think it would be really hard not to tell anyone.

I agree.....and if you find out it's a girl, arent's you going to want all pink stuff and if it's a boy, blue stuff??

Once you start to register you will see that a lot of the gender neutral stuff is just not as nice as the gender specific stuff

We were going to do this and failed miserably. I couldn't hold it in.

Re: anyone finding out the sex but not telling family or friends?

I was considering doing this. I am not sure if I plan to tell anyone. I know for sure we will find out, but not sure about sharing that info.

One thing I will never do is share the name I pick beforehand. I don't need any comments or suggestions from the peanut gallery. Chat Icon

Comments like that are exactly my reason. I will never share the name with anyone at all, DH agrees. We don't care what people's opinions are, and don't care to hear them beforehand that's for sure. If it's a name you really want, that can be pretty upsetting to hear such snide comments. Chat Icon

I hate suprises, I found my engagement ring months before dh proposed in his closet and i would lock myself in his room and wear it, lol, so as far as children go as soon as we can find out i am going to find out the sex and cant wait to tell everyone

I know, it wil be really hard so we will likely eventually share the sex but not the name ever.
