I Think We're Opening The Envelope...

patchen30 · July 2011

When DH and I went for the a/s we had the tech put a picture of the baby's "goods" with a note about the gender in an envelope. We've had it for over a month. We weren't sure whether we were going to stay team green or open the envelope.

I've kind of been thinking, it's going to be a surprise whenever we find out, whether it's at an u/s, at the birth, etc. I think it could be cool to make a little event out of it...we're thinking we're going to dinner and do it tonight.

I'm excited but also nervous b/c finding out the gender just takes you one more step closer to getting attached...does anyone know what I mean?

Wow, I can't believe you've resisted looking at the envelope for over a month! I think I would have teared that sucker open as soon as I got home, and we plan on keeping it a surprise until delivery. It's been really hard not finding out...

I say if you want to know, go for it! It's all on how you want to experience things

This! I think the experience will be special whether its at the birth or over an intimate dinner. Enjoy your surprise!

Ditto! I can't believe you resisted for a month! DH and I wanted to know as soon as possible. Enjoy your dinner and the surprise!

We found out at 14 weeks, so we are definitely not patient:) You are right, it will be a nice surprise no matter when you find out. I think it sounds like a good plan.

And I am so, so excited to find out what it is!!!! You're going to post right away, right? Wink

I get what you mean-it makes it even more real, and for someone with IF 'wounds' who always feel like something will go wrong, it can be hard. But, I say go for it, it will make it all the more real to you and hopefully give you one more thing to enjoy. You've had a rough week, you deserve some 'happy' news!

I've always said-having a baby is surprise enough, no need to wait to find out
