Cailin, my mum had a similar experience with her first. They didn't even tell her what sex she was before they whisked my sister away. Dad went with my sister & went out into the waiting room & told everyone that it was a girl. Mum was sooooo cranky that everyone else knew what sex her baby was before she did. So when I was born (and then the other two after me) mum said that no-one not even dad could find out the sex before she did! It was in 1977, so things were a bit different then though.

Here's hoping that soon you'll be having your second & you'll get to have everything just the way you want
