I know there are quite a few of us out there that have decided to wait until birth for the big gender surprise.
Second time around, i am choosing to wait til bub is here again.
My big question to all of you is.... Did you ever had any concerns about the long wait?
There were couple of times when i wanted to find out but i am really happy we waited. The only hard times were around when i had ultrasounds, especially if DH wasn't there (cos he definitely did not want to know). I didn't like that someone else might know and we didn't, however most times they didn't even look at the genitals knowig that we didn't want to know.
Did you ever swing or hope for one way or the other?
Yep, first time around i hoped for a girl.
Were you ever worried that you might end up ever so slightly disappointed at the outcome?
Similarly to the flying butter, i was hoping for a girl but thought that when bub arrived i would be so excited and relieved at meeting them that the gender wouldn't be an issue. my DH was kinda hoping for a boy but felt no disappointment when DD arrived.
If you had gender dreams, what gender did you dream and what did you end up having?
i can't remember if they were dreams, but i had strong feelings that it was a boy for the first 6 months. Then this feeling went away and i wasn't sure either way.
Did you ever get sick of the constant whinging from other people about them wanting to know?
Nah, that s their problem.
With names, did you ever want another bub just because you think both the chosen boy and girl name was just perfect?
nup. we had 2 boys names and 2 girls name chosen and decided soon after bub was born that one name suited her better.
Was there difficulty knowing what to buy for bub, especially if there was a sale on, especially since gender neutral items seem to be rather difficult to come by these days?
Nup, because i go for gender neutral stuff anyway. The only 'girl' clothes that DD has have been given to her as presents or second hand. It is nice for grandparents etc to look out for more gender neutral things, cos you often end up with very specific colours once people do know the gender.
