Are you telling people the gender?

Before I was pregnant I always said I didn't want to find out, when my sister was pregnant and she said "boy" it was so much more exciting buying things.

So when I was pregnant super excited to find out what it was and told everyone it was a girl. Now with this one on the way - same - its way more fun buying things.

But I agree with most - keeping the names to ourselves.

We had fake names that we told people if they asked. It was Balthazhar for a boy and Bathsheba for a girl. They gave up asking after that.

ROFL well I'm quite flattered

ROFL well I'm quite flattered

Is Bathsheba your real name or a BB name? There aren't too many around. My surname is Berry, I selected my fake names because they sounded quite silly with that.

Bathsheba is my online name but it might as well be my real one as so many people call me by that name IRL now How funny.... I have a virtual pet called Sheba Berry on another site! She is a very cute squirrel type creature LOL

well i know i always have to find out but we might keep it secret dunno yet im not pg yet but we have picked a name for a future girl but some ppl already know it

We're still up in the air with deciding if we should find out, but I recon we will end up doing it. 3weeks to decide! If we do find out we will definately tell everyone as we are having a baby shower a bit later on, and I really dont want a bunch of lemon or mint coloured things!!!

For what its worth we wanted to know with DS but we had a number of scans that said he was a boy and then a girl and so on.

I finally worked out a reply that made people laugh and move on: "Well we're fairly certain its human and probably ours, but a puppy would be great also"

This time around we found out and wanted to tell as it is clearly a girl but now everyone is all "well we will wait till its born just in case" - which is kinda upsetting too in its own way.

Mumintraining thanks for making me smile!

For us, it's not big deal whether other people want to know or not. DH & I always find out, if people want to know we'll tell them. If they don't want to know, we won't tell them. It's our baby, not theirs, so it's not really a big thing for them whether it's a girl or boy whereas it is for dh & I.
Well that's my opinion anyway.
