Finding out the sex? How did you tell everyone

Re: Finding out the sex? How did you tell everyone

We wanted to do something cute to tell everyone, esp. my out-of-town family, but we were just too darn excited and had to call everyone when we got out of the doctor's office that day!

At BRU, they have cute bibs that say "I'm Not a Girl" and "I'm Not a Boy", I bought them with the intention to sending them to my mom (who lives upstate), and having her open a specific one while I was ont he phone with her...I never mailed them and just called her instead.

We texted everyone we knew. NOT very original. Then waited from their response. It was actually fun to "read" their reactions. Then the phone calls came to congratulate us.

Umm, we just called everyone. We were so excited when we got in the car that any ideas that I could or would have thought of went out the window.

I had to go into work and was talking about baby penis size with my best friend on the express bus

When I was heading for my level 2, and anticipated finding out the sex, I told my coworkers I would come in the next day wearing blue or pink.

Not even thinking I wore pink, meanwhile we're having a boy! I threw them all for a loop, unintentionally!!

Re: Finding out the sex? How did you tell everyone

We told everyone we weren't finding out from the beginning. Ya we lied

Wit DD I bought two "thank heaven for little girl bibs" and wrapped them up for xmas and gave them to our parents.

They cried and then yelled at us since they've been telling EVERYONE we aren't finding out and we made them look like liars

For this pg, we just called our siblings and parents, they all had a pool going. My mom won, everyone else guessed boy for #2.

We were planning on finding out the week before Easter and making a cake that said 'It's a Boy' or 'It's a Girl'. We were going to keep the cake in a travel cake platter until dessert. Then unveil it. We weren't planning on telling anyone that the ultrasound already happened. So they would be really shocked.

Then the doctor changed my ultrasound date to a few days after Easter. Oh well. Maybe someone else can use this idea!

We will find out in a few weeks, but with both my sons, we just mentioned it as we talked to people.

We found out 4 days before Christmas. We told everyone that the baby didnt cooperate. We did tell my 8 year old nephew and he promised to keep the secret. On Christmas day, he held a "Boy/Girl Raffle" and everyone was shocked that we actually did know the sex. I had bought little trinkets at the store to give out as a prize. The kid really kept the secret!!!! It was cute..

We didn't do anything special. We just called everyone and said,"It's a boy!" How unimaginative I know!
