Snark if you must...

MaxOrTori

If I get to be the OB model on Monday, DH won't be able to come with me because they need me for 2 hours straight, and he has to work. (We are pending my doctor's approval, the instructor called this AM)  Chances are that during this 2 hour period, the baby will uncross his or her legs, giving the tech a chance to make a gender determination.

Now to the part that make get snarked... I was trying to figure out a "cute way" to tell DH the baby's gender.  (gag now) Anyhow, I came up with the following:  He is a huge fisherman, and so I decided that if the baby is a boy, I will buy a snoopy/superheros fishing pole. If its a girl, I will buy a barbie/disney princess fishing pole.

WDYT?

I like it. Its not too cutesy and can be practical later on down the road.

If you must, I guess it atleast has some cuteness factor

Actually, I was thinking this too.  Of course, I have a tendency to be a tomboy and laugh in the face of gender stereotypes.  Maybe just a pink or blue fishing pole?  The classic of all stereotypes.

I think that is really cute.  No snark here!

Ok, ok, I will try to find a "boy" fishing pole.  LOL!

Thanks for not being cruel. 

I was also debating the whole "write it on an envelope and seal it" but I'd be ripping it open before DH would get home.

Cute! And I also had a snoopy fishing pole. I don't think they made "girly" ones when I was little.

Eh, I'd probably just stick with something like a Daddy's Little Girl or Daddy's Fishing Buddy onesie.

Or, a plain fishing pole, that you tie a pink or blue ribbon on with a tag that says "For Baby Max" or "For Baby Tori".

I think that's a cute idea!

I'm cold-hearted and hate cute, but I like the idea. ?I do think a more boyish fishing pole would be better, because I don't think Snoopy would make me think boy.

That said, I really prefer the envelope idea, no matter how difficult it would be. ?I'd really want to find out together.?

Cute!  That's similar to how DH and I found out.

 Since he couldn't be at the ultrasound I had the tech write out the baby's gender on a card.  I took the card to The Paper Store and picked out a pink Red Sox hat and a blue one.  I explained the situation to an associate and asked her to look at the card and wrap up the appropriate hat.  When DH got home we opened the box together.  It was really a fun way to find out!

No matter how you do it, it will be amazing!  I hope the babe cooperates!

I say get the Snoopy fishing pole and attach a note that says, "We caught a GIRL!" or BOY! as the case may be.

*takes notes on hat idea and to ban DH from ultrasounds*

That dripping sound is my ice-heart melting. ?It may be the Sox hat that won me over.?
