I lie to people.

Jillwithani · February 2012

I enjoy lying to people so they will leave me alone. I tell them "we're not finding out" so people will stop bugging me about when we find out the sex and even when we do find out we won't be sharing. Since when is it a strangers business to know if I'm housing a penis or vagina?

I understand. I wanted to wait till after our showers so I did not get clothes. (i know crazy) We just had so many hand me downs that we did not need anything. But thankfully it was a boy & they dont get as many outfits anyway.

Thankfully anyone who cares about me knows we wont know until after the 29th, so no one's asked.

just wait until people start asking if you are dilated yet (or how much) at the end of your pregnancy. I got so annoyed with that. it's such a personal question! Seriously, people...

I will be lying to people too! Even when I tell people I am only 16 wks along, they still ask if we know what we are having. I know I will just get asked more and more. We are going to find out, but lie to everyone (mothers, besties, everyone) and tell them that we don't know. Some people I feel good about lying to...others it's really hard!

FIL used to ask DH if I had any discharge when I was pregnant with DS.

you could just tell everyone that you're waiting until your "gender reveal party" because you're SUPER excited about bringing one of these classy baby cakes to work

Oh man - I totally thought that you had made that cake and that was you're "advertisement"/signature on here. Then I read the text above it and I was so relieved, haha.

It does get annoying when you see someone and they ask if you know what it is yet and you tell them, "My ultrasound isn't until Feb. 27th." And then you see them 3 days later and they ask the same question. I know you have a busy life, but I just told you that the u/s hasn't even happened yet. I try not to be annoyed because I know they are just excited for me but sometimes that's not enough of an excuse.

This cake seriously creeps me out, haha.-- My husband and I are going to keep it to ourselves for a while, maybe we'll announce it at the baby shower (of course this is all assuming baby even cooperates at our 20 week u/s, haha). I just don't want a ton of blue/pink things. I want neutral stuff I can use again in the future.

We told everyone that we didn't know with DS (we knew, but did not share), and people were still jerks about it. They "needed" to know the sex of MY baby so they could go shopping.....too bad we didn't tell them that 99% of the reason we didn't tell was because we wanted everything to be gender-neutral so that we could keep it for future babies too!

We are going to announce at the shower as well. Like a PP said I'm not really into all pink or blue things and I don't see anything wrong with the loads of hand me downs we've been offered.

delaneykai · February 2012

You are so right! I get asked this all the time!

valeriej6 · February 2012

I don't lie yet...but I will I tell them that we are going to find out the sex, but will tell them the baby didn't cooperate (hopefully not the case!) and then reveal it at the shower...I didn't realize how nosey people were until now!

PS that baby cake is frightening.

You don't get people asking you why you don't want to know and then launching into the "I would want to know," "How are you going to know what to get?" "It helps friends and family know what to buy" conversation?
