How am I going to make it?

SoTouchySoTouchy
in 2nd Trimester

DH and I are having the tech write the sex on a card that we'll open on Christmas morning.  I'm going to have the sex of the baby in my house for a WHOLE MONTH.  All of my friends think I'm going to crack.

Is it bad I'm hoping for an uncooperative baby tomorrow?  I'll likely have another u/s before Christmas, so we can still find out that way, but I won't have the temptation in my house for so long.  I may need to have someone else take the card and bring it back to us just before christmas.

Ack!  I already can't wait and the u/s isn't until tomorrow!!!!

    I think you should let a friend/ family member hold onto the card for the month.

     It may be pretty difficult to resist the urge if its in your top drawer...but if you know you have to get in the car and drive it may be easier.

    Why not change it to opening the card on Thanksgiving day instead???

    I'd definitely give it to someone else to hold onto.  I could never wait until Christmas knowing the info was right there in front of me!

    I wouldn't be able to wait. I would give the card to someone in the family so there is no temptation at home. Have fun tomorrow!

    I think this is such a cute idea though Big Smile

    You could have them write it on a card, and put it in your file for your next appointment.  That way, it is where you won't be tempted, and neither will anyone else.

    Is DH really set on waiting till Xmas? Does he have strong will power?

    Maybe you could just let him hide it in the house so that you're temptation won't get the best of you. Of course, if he's as anxious as you, that probably won't work!?

    My birthday is Sunday.  I asked DH (multiple times) if we could open it for my birthday.  He said no, because we already told everyone we wouldn't know until Christmas.

    MIL wants to know so she can buy stuff for the new baby.  Weird as this is, it actually makes me stronger and more able to wait.  (MIL's been really pushy about wanting to know the sex and/or name so she can get some personalized Christmas crap for it.  It's not even here yet!)

    I don't quite trust anyone I give it to not to take a peek, LOL!  And I'd have them leave it and wait for my appt, but my u/s is at the maternal fetal medical center, not my OB.  Boo.

    We're doing the same thing. Our U/S was yesterday. DH wouldn't even let me TOUCH the envelope. He put it straight into his pocket and then "away" somewhere.

    It's very annoying because I'm not going to look without him there, okay? I asked him if he knew where it was because I don't want it to get lost. Our house can get so messy. I didn't want him to misplace it.
