Spinoff to: I can't believe ur not finding out

Curliegirl has the opposite issue as I find myself dealing with. My husband and I had our level 2 today and found out the sex...I call my brothers and not one of the 3 that I spoke with want to know. They want to be surprised the day of. How do I keep it a surprise now that I know? I want to tell people , but I don't want to ruin their surprise.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did u handle it? thanks

Chat Icon to them. Tell them, "look, I'm not going to call my baby "it", so either we won't speak for a few months, or you're just going to have to know."

Sorry- this is NOT their surprise to claim and you're not going to call the baby it, you'll be saying he/she- it's just natural to do that once you know.

ooooo that's a tough one!

I guess you will just have not tell them, but they'll find out from everyone else soon, so you won't have to hold it in long!

thanks ladies. I am really surprised that they don't want to know b/c most people ask, do you know yet? it's so weird that 3/4 don't want to know. I already told my dad, so now he'd have to keep it hush if he wants. but part of me thinks its swee that they want their 1st neice/nephew to be a surprise.

oh boy...guess i can't post the sono pics on myspace now...Chat Icon

Honestly, this decision is right up there with ultrascreens, amnios and other tests....it's up to you and what YOU are comfortable with. I happen to revel in the beauty of not knowing...but I do see the benefits of knowing for sure that there's a boy or girl coming. Certainly would've made my parting with the bedding I loved easier if I KNEW the baby was a boy and the butterflies were out. Instead, the butterflies were out b/c of the chance it might be a boy.

To note, we dubbed the baby "baby bear" to avoid the IT factor.
