To wait or find out what you're having...what did you and your partner do and why was that right for you?
Hey everyone! First time mom here and trying to weigh out the options on whether to find out the gender of our baby. For context, we didn't have the option of knowing until today when my 2nd panoramic blood test came back clear, so it is causing us to second guess what we thought we would do.
Initially, we were planning on waiting to do the reveal at our shower in August (I'm due in October, so pushing out the date helps folks get here/plan) and we wanted to do a big party so we would get a special moment with friends and family.
While I love my family, they do tend to steer into heavily gendered items and gifts for baby showers, and that's not really our vibe (totally okay if it's yours). While we can't always avoid this, part of waiting on the reveal and having the registry be neutral helps mitigate this initially.
But the instant gratification monkey on our shoulders is now making this a little difficult. August feels like it's forever away. So what have you done in the past with your babies and / or what have you chosen to do? Thought some insight from ya'll here would help! Thanks in advance.
