I want a girl - I think it's natural to have a preference! I have one of each and if it's a boy I will be totally fine. My son is totally a mama's boy. This pregnancy was unexpected, not planned and totally a surprise - so really the gender doesn't matter, but I still am hoping for Girl - Boy - Girl!
@GraysonsMama I feel ya! I'm hoping DH will stay team green for me!
My appointment is June 20th, and we are flying up to Washington state on June 22 for my grandpa's 75th birthday. My mom is crocheting two white blankets and will thread in either blue or pink ribbons around the edge of each and then wrap them up like presents for us to open. So we're going to fight the urge to peek and wait until the birthday party when my whole family is there to find out.
DH doesn't want to tell anyone the gender before the baby's born, and I want to tell everyone because I'm so happy we're expecting. But he agreed that telling the BMB is okay, so I get to tell you Mamas at the very least!
We've starting telling people and it's the first question they ask, are we finding out gender? My response is helllll YES we are! Lol My side of the family hasn't had a boy since my 12 year nephew. And since then 4 nieces! So a boy would be a nice switch up. And I grew up with 4 older brothers so I love the whole big brother idea. On the other hand my hubbys side of the family is ALL boys, so a girl would be awesome for that reason! Soooo we will see!
@AMCsquared um yes. I want someone to share Disney princess stuff with. BUT luckily I have two awesome little boys who will dance and sing moana with me whenever I want lol
@ShyTonia that's exactly how it was for me and my DH, I am from a family of all girls. I only have sisters, and so does my mom. But my husband is one of four boys, his dad is one of six boys, and so far there have only been grandsons. I LOVE little boys, but a girl would be nice
UO, probably... I, other the other side, am hoping to shelter my daughter's (OMG plural SQUEE!) from princess stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Disney fiend... But I don't like the princessy thing. It's so different now than it was when I was little and I think it's kind of gross. Then again, the little TV my 16 month old DOES watch consists of Adventure Time and Gravity Falls.
I agree that princess culture is kind of out of control but I love all the Disney princess movies so much! I definitely want to share them with my kids. But I really liked the princess approach one dad used (ergh, sorry I can't find it), where he would sit with his daughter and bring her problems of the realm, like the teddy bears are upset with the dolls. Or the crops are not doing well and we may not have enough flour for cakes. I mean, it's what rulers actually do and seemed pretty cute to me, while giving a princess' role more "oomph"

It's funny, DH is actually WAY more into Disney (both the films and the world) than I am. He actually walked out in the middle of the recent Beauty and the Beast film because in his words, "It was ruining the original for me!" lol. His family took many trips to Disney World when he was growing up so it's all just very nostalgic for him. I have a few favorite movies and enjoy most of the more recent animated films, but overall don't feel as attached to Disney stuff as he does. But, he's also an engineer and super into dinosaurs, so I feel like our kids will get a good mix of princess and nerd haha.
I can't find out til July 18th which seems so far away! we were team green with out first and we ended with a boy, we are both really wanting a girl this time! My husband wants to find out and not tell anyone but there is no way I can do that so we will find out and then just have our parents over for supper to tell them!
Yesssssss. @dkizz82@leilagphillips it's totally terrible but I think I'll cry if I don't get to reexperience them. Dammit gender norms and related activities/toys etc.

on the sex topic... i'm wondering if i should not allow my DH to come to whatever appointment (16/20 week) that will determine the sex. bc he CANT KEEP A SECRET. he proved it with our pregnancy news so how would he suddenly be able to keep his mouth shut on the sex? hmmm. i dont want him taking my fun out of that.

@eazybreezy225 congrats! My parents had three girls first (I'm the oldest) and then decided.. ugh f it, let's have one more and maybe it will be a boy, and it was a boy! The four of us get along suuuuper well although our brother is totally spoiled by all of us and my mom haha.

I'm officially going insane wondering the gender. I've even started reviewing old wives tales which I don't believe in at all and I find myself trying to fit into the girl category. How will I wait another 2 monthsssss
