I'll take the pickles! They're my favorite pregnant or not.
3d ultrasounds are gross- and I really don't understand how an ultrasound can be called 4d... What is the 4th dimension of the ultrasound? Enlighten me.
Push presents? This kiddo will cost us enough money. Don't get me wrong, I won't be refusing a thoughtful gift, but demanding diamonds? Not my thing.

Oh... And I love Andes!

The fourth dimension is time since its a video and not just a picture.

inspired by @holljade and her fun news tonight!

everybody oohs and ahhs over girl clothing, but i think boys are even cuter to dress up.

and on a related note....

i think most of the stuff at children's place and gymboree (for boys - i've never shopped for girls so i don't extend this statement to that side of the store) is majorly ugly, cheap and stupid looking.

ugly neon orange t-shirt with a really obnoxious monster truck roaring all over it?? no thank you! give me chinos and a polo shirt any day over that nonsense.

YES. I don't understand it. It can be so much fun to dress a boy without making him wear that crap! I don't know why places like Gymboree can't put in the effort (actually, shouldn't it take less work and money to produce?) to make some classic pieces that don't have some sort of "boy" emblem sloppily ironed on top. Thank goodness for baby Gap.

Glad to see I have some non-bacon allies! Why are people so protective of their love of bacon? I will eat it but I don't prefer it. Except if it's on a burger with cheddar cheese and bbq sauce.

I'll see your UO, and raise you a "bitch please"... I also think that gender reveal parties are dumb, but add that they're even worse when it's obvious by the photos that you peeked before the party; you conveniently wore pink, had your DH wear pink, decorated the party in lots of pink, hired a professional photographer, then acted all "surprised" for guests and pics when you cut into the cake. And you conveniently had all these pink props for your post-"reveal" photo shoot? This is where the "bitch please" comes in. Klassy...

My best friend asked what I didn't want clothing wise. I said if it's a boy no dump trucks, dinosaurs, or other stupid crap like that. I want to dress a baby boy like a mini DH. Polos and loafers lol!!

I'm with you! I LOVE shopping for little boys. I just bought DDs little brother (Xhs kid) the cutest outfit from old navy and none of it was cheesy stuff. Although, I did buy him the superman shirt with the detachable cape on it. I would love to have a boy to dress like a little gentleman

Tferr02 · October 2013

Ugh I hate all those awful boy clothes. My son never wears sweat pants or such, he's always dressed up as a cute little man. I love dressing him!! His daddy has always been very picky too on what he wears. I love the shoes too

@dani+California I'd never heard of a push present before and had to google it. I guess I may have inadvertently asked for one. I told DH I eventually wanted to get a necklace with our baby's birthstone, because that's something I've always wanted to do. And we're getting matching tattoos in Braille of our family's names after the LO is born. So I'm tacky I guess?

I don't really consider that a push present. Push presents are notoriously wifey demanding a diamond because of the hard work she had to do. You getting baby's birthstone is a celebration of being parents. Just a different mindset. I went back to work right after my birthday, and for my birthday my hubby got me a necklace with DS's initial on it so he would "still be close to me during the day." I don't consider that a push present. I consider that a wonderfully sweet gesture of my DH recognizing that I am a mom.

Yeah, I think of push presents as overly lavish gifts that are demanded. My DH has given me a new Willow Tree figure for each of my kids (including my miscarriage) and he usually gives them to me in the hospital but I don't consider it a push present.
------ But have you looked at our birth month birthstone? It could be a lavish present. Well, lavish to me is a new cell phone before we actually NEED one. Just to give you a point of reference.

Gasp! I don't even like diamonds :-O

But even so, if you were to get a simple (as in small) diamond charm or necklace I still wouldn't see that as lavish either.

...but diamonds are a girls best friend...

My bf hates that this is how I wanna dress my kid if it's a boy. He thinks it's too preppy but I think it's everything!

I totally hate the whole fake surprise thing. My sisters say that my shower is gonna be a gender reveal and they are decorating in all cutesy baby colors and that they are gonna encourage me and the guests to wear what color they THINK baby is. Since I think it's a boy and I want a boy I'll be wearing all white and accessorizing in blue. It'll be just my luck that people think I already knew if it does turn out to be a boy.

Onelovelyginger · October 2013

I didn't do any of the tests (NT, etc.) I think they're silly. (I know I'll get flamed for this.) but I'd just rather not know. If something was wrong it would just give me 6 more months to freak out and worry about it. My baby will receive no difference in love or support or encouragement or anything else if it has downs or some other smiliar genetic abnormality. I've been preparing myself mentally for any possibility. So therefore, I see no point. I'm going to welcome that baby head on regardless.

deidremaria · October 2013

We're revealing at our Thanksgiving family get together, but DH and I will already know and won't pretend we don't. It's more for DD and our parents.

At least you guys aren't pretending not to know. I personally want to be surprised. My SO will be the only one to know until the shower and I know he's gonna enjoy knowing something that I don't. He's giving my sisters a sealed envelope which they will be forwarding to the bakery or balloon shop or whatever establishment they needa utilize to create the surprise reveal. I'm excited for that.

Want a personalized experience?
