I’m heading into my 22-week ultrasound appointment today with no intentions of finding out the gender of baby…am I crazy? Some seem to think I am. When pregnant with my son my husband and I both definitely wanted to know the sex as soon as we could. There was no discussion. This time around I’m the complete opposite feeling a sense of surprise would be a fun change. This could be my last pregnancy after all so what not switch it up? But many people look at me quizzically when I tell them I don’t know what we are having. Which is the second most common question to a pregnant woman after being asked “when are you due?”. So what’s the verdict? To know or not to know?
Along that note what about these gender reveal parties? I love getting together with friends for any occasion but a party simply to cut into a cake to see if its blue or pink seems a little overindulgent to me. The idea is that the doctor places gender of baby in a sealed envelope, the parents-to-be take said envelope to a bakery to have a cake made with blue or pink flavoring inside. I’m guessing the options are blueberry or strawberry here. At a party or shower the couple slice into the cake to reveal the color. A cute idea I think but not for me. What are your thoughts?
