Vent: Doc totally ruined our surprise! Joining Team...
so yesterday, i had an u/s cuz the little baby was measuring big. Turns out everything is fine. Soooo the doc comes in, asks if we know what we're having, we say, no, it's a surprise. Oh, good, that's how it should be.
Then he keeps saying she she she. Then he leaves the screen up with all the measurements and little box that says: Gender- Female.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm really excited to have a baby girl, but that was no way to find out!
and DH is not so observant so he hasn't cracked the case and would be crushed if he knew I knew so I have to keep it hush hush for 6 more weeks... and not buy anything pink!!!
Just had to get that off my chest!

I suck at keeping secrets, so good luck. Its sweet of you to do that for your DH
And congrats!!
OMG!! That totally sucks!!
Congrats tho!!
ditto!
I'm sorry you found out that way. I hate it when I hear stories like this. They really need to be a little more careful about what they say.
If we were in that situation, and DH figured it out, he wouldn't tell me he knew either. Maybe he does know and he just doesn't want to spoil it for you. Such a sweet DH!
Get a mutual friend to ask him and see what he says, then you don't have to worry about holding it in if he admits to knowing.?
Wow, that is interesting! We are not finding out (or trying not to), but the last time I went, the tech was referring to the baby as "he", but I couldn't tell if it was because she was trying to be generic or because she had slipped up (English was not her first language). I guess I will assume that she was just being generic!
I am sooo sorry about that! At least you have a great attitude about it and are a very good wife to keep it secret from your DH!
Congrats on your little lady!
That stinks.
But how are you going to manage 6 weeks without buying anything pink?! Lol, I think I lasted about 1 . . . Good luck! (Or, you could just hide it from him . . .)
oh no, that stinks!! i am sorry!
Why do they note what the sex is? My doctor never did...
That's great that you're keeping the surprise for your DH. I'd do the same thing...Just hide the pink clothes. We don't even know the sex (I think it's a Girl) & I've already hid 2 pink outfits just in case....hehehe...
Wow, that's a tough secret to hold on to. Good luck!
?
Our tech slipped and said "he" instead of "the baby" once when I was pg with DS. ?We didn't know for sure because she tried to cover it up but we pretty much figured it out...we both thought we saw "male parts" on the screen. We kept it from the family/friends which was hard.?
ugh! I don't blame ya for being pissed.
I have been really adament to not find out....every time I get an u/s, I tell them..I don't want to know!
I do want to know...but don't....
that sucks...do you think you'll end up telling him? or wait it out...
Sorry your surprise was ruined, but that's nice of you to keep it a surprise for DH. You can totally do it - I've kept it hush hush since our big u/s, so 15 weeks! You just have to watch what you say.
Congratulations on your daughter!
Just wanted to say I LOVE the name Adelaide!! I wanted that name, but DH said no...lol
Heres my theory...its a surprise if you find out now or if you find out at the delivery, right? ;( Absolutely no consolation I'm sure, but at least its something right?
I'm so sorry you had to find out this way, and its so nice of you to keep it a secret from your DH. I had something similar happen that was HUGE for DH and me, and DH still does not know to this day that I already knew about the surprise-he would be heartbroken even now. Its hard but I have total faith that you'll be able to keep the secret. {{{HUGS}}}
