With DD we knew the sex but wanted it to be a surprise for everyone, so we said "yes, we know but we want to keep it a secret". By the 9th month all anyone was asking us was "is it a boy or a girl?". My MIL, who is a midwife was poring over the US dvd for evidence, and my mum kept ringing up saying "i'm looking at blankets/I'm painting a toybox/there are sheets on special - what colour do you want??"" actually thinking that I'd say pink or blue!!!

Also, DH's Nana was dying of leukemia during the PG so DH told her a few days before she died that we were having a girl. In the last few hours of her life her whole family were around her bed and she kept saying "look after my beautiful great grand daughter when she comes". But she was so sick and on so much morphine that no one knew if she was delirious or speaking the truth, so everyone was really confused. People were asking me at the funeral if she had known the gender!!

So, because our families clearly can't stand having secrets and the suspense was too much for them to stand (and me to deal with), this time round we are doing the little white lie and saying we haven't found out, even though we know the gender 100% (CVS test). Still doesn't stop them asking everytime they call us though!
