That's why we haven't told family or friends the name we chose.

Everyone will find out when the baby is born and by that point their comments and opinions will be too late to alter or affect any decision DH and I have made.

i don't get that question - i get "oh no why are you going to find out? you should let it be a surprise!"

um last i checked this was my baby - when you get PG you can let it be a surprise Chat Icon

DH and i are not telling anyone names we are thinking about either... the only opinions we need are our own!!

Re: Vent!! People need to stop asking what would you rather???

People ask and I say I dont care. DH wants a boy and again, makes no apologies for saying so. He is who he is and thats why I love him.

As for names, we decided to keep that to ourselves. Its all we have left that is our own and there is no doubt that certain people in our lives would criticize our choices.

Re: Vent!! People need to stop asking what would you rather???

I am actually more annoyed and offended by people who impose their beliefs on child rearing and breast feeding. I am not easily swayed by unsolicited opinions. I am a highly educated adult woman who has spent the past 12 years taking care of children. Combine that knowledge base with what I think is an excellent maternal instinct and I think my child will fare very well in this world.

Re: Vent!! People need to stop asking what would you rather???

It personally disgusts us when I hear people favoring or hoping for one sex over the other.

This comes from two miscarriages and a long battle with IF. I want to smack those people in the mouth.

If you never had a problem getting PG, well then I guess ignorance is bliss.

But if you've had issues, it's truly disgusting to hear.

We're having two girls - and I can't tell you how many people have asked me "if I was OK with it" - or "my Dh would have a heart attack"

And I'm just like, considering the alternative, this is the best thing that could have happened
