2nd Trimester

Kind of upset...=(

Tomorrow at 8am is my big u/s and I am psyched to find out the sex and make sure the baby is okay, but I have to go by myself.  We are in the middle of a snow storm right now and it is not supposed to stop until Monday afternoon!  My MIL, DH and DD were supposed to come with me.  Now my DH is going to stay home with DD...I don't like to drive in the snow with her.  My MIL lives a few towns away and it would be too dangerous for her to drive to the appt with me.  Thankfully, the office is only a short 5 min drive...though tomorrow morning it will most likely take me 20 min to get there b/c of the weather.  I hate to find out the sex of the baby all by myself and have no one to share the good news with right there with me!  I told DH that I would have the tech write it down and we would open it when I got home....but he said I am making too much of a big deal and said just find out and then come home and tell me.  I am just bummed out...

Re: Kind of upset...=(

  • I'd be sad too.  But think you can suprise DH with the news.  BOO snow!

  • I think I would probably have the technician write it down anyways. That is such a great moments to share with your DH and even though he does not mind you finding out before him it obviously matters to you. Sorry for the icky snow!
  • Hmm, that would bum me out too. I think I would ignore what he said and wait to find out together (by having the tech write it down). If the weather wasn't so crappy I'd suggest that you could stop by a store on the way home and get a pink or blue onesie to show him, but obviously if driving was no problem you wouldn't be in this situation in the first place :(

  • I found out our sex without DH as well.  It sucked, but then I was able to have some fun with DH before I told him.  And I was able to watch his reaction instead of being "distracted" by the picture on the ultrasound.  At least that is what I'm telling myself to make it ok.

  • stupid snow! I get why you are sad, I would be too! I don't know if it's possible but do you have a really trust worthy neighbor or friend that you could leave you girl with...I don't want to sound as a bad parent but maybe it could be a solution...
  • I would definitely have them write it down and open it tomorrow night over a nice dinner so you have that moment. 

    Good luck!!

  • Can you have someone watch your daughter while you both go?

    Maybe the snow won't be so bad? Do you not get a lot of snow or something? I am from MI and if I chose not to travel with a child in the snow, I don't think I'd ever be able to leave my house from Nov - April if I still lived up there. 

  • I would think that the roads will be relatively fine by tomorrow's rush hour. Typically the road services are a bit lighter on their snow clearing on the weekends but try to make it really good in time for the commutes. And maybe have DH drive instead of you if you have issues about it? I can't say its really practical to just say you'll never drive with your kid in the car when it snows. It can't be that far away if its a 5 min drive in good weather. 

     

     

  • thats too bad!! i would be bummed too.. any neighbors that could watch DD and you and DH drive to he appt?? (just a thought, but yo may not want to leave her out) if not what peevios posters said is true.. you will get to watch his reaction and that will be fun!! i was too busy with my own reaction to get to pay attentiont to DH
  • tell the tech you wanna call him on the phone while you are watching! so you can explain things and then hold the phone up when she says what it is!!
