I've decided to find out the sex AND have a gender reveal party!

I really was trying to make it through this entire pregnancy without knowing the sex of our 3rd... but it was just killing me! And honestly the whole.. "it has to be a girl.... you have the 2 boys so its time for a girl" was driving me nuts! I think the sooner I know the better! So to make it more special we decided to do one of those gender reveal parties with a cake thats either blue or pink in the middle. I put my BFF in charge of taking the envelope with the gender to the baker and getting a cake Chat Icon

I have the BIGGEST butterflies knowing that next week I will know! I found out with both my boys but wiht them I was always finding out the sex.. this seems so different this time around!

I do honestly think this baby is a girl this time, but I've kept it in my head the ENTIRE time that its a boy. And I know that plenty of people have had opposite pregnancies and still had the same sex. But this was so insanely different in every way its just pushing my poor head in circles! I was sick as a dog for 14 weeks, I had not one bit of nausea with my boys. Im carrying differntly, my skin is a mess, Im SUPER bitchy and my brain is mush. Even my husband thinks its insane how different I am this time around. Every single chart, formula and old wives tale points to girl (I even peed on baking soda!!!) by next week we will know and I can start shopping finally!

Sorry this was so long!

DH was telling me I was definitely having 2 girls because I was a complete different person than when I was pregnant with DS and he was right.

Hope the same holds true for you!

lol it was one of those crazy ones.. like peeing on draino.. but this sounded a little safer to me so I tried. You use a teaspoon of baking soda and pour some pee on it.. if it fizzes its a boy if it does nothing its a girl. SUPPOSEDLY its bc if your pregnant with a boy your pee is more acidic so it makes it fizz.. if its not then its a girl.. lol

The party sounds like it will be a ton of fun.

How early can you do that baking soda trick?

We revealed the gender at the babyshower las time and it was fun! Make sure to say "he" and "she" as an intentional slip up to keep everyone guessing!

I'm not sure how early you can do that trick.. i just heard of it and did it and im almost 18 weeks :)

I still think the best part is that even DH and I wont know what it is either!
