My sister and husband want to throw a gender reveal. We did one for my daughter because I had had 3 miscarriages between her and my son. I DID have a miscarriage earlier this year. I'm not against the idea but don't want or need the added stress and I kind of feel like at this point I would be seen as attention seeking. Not many people want us to have this baby (I didn't in the beginning either because I have so many health issues)...which isn't their business but they keep shoving it in my face. Even going as far as to try and scare me saying the state will take them because I can't handle the 2 I already have (my oldest comes over every other weekend and both kids are used to not having to share the adults in their lives which would be hard on ANYONE). Anyway, now that I spoke to my OB and have been assured I am at no more of a risk than anyone else of having something bad happen during delivery. I kind of like the idea of a gender reveal for the few people that supported us through our loss and healthy pregnancies.
I know I kind of went all over the place here but I'd like some honest feedback please.
I'm due in May. I'm not used to being cold on an 80° day which is a thing now. Temps have dropped to 50's and 60's and I'm dying. I haven't worn pants or long sleeve in 3 years. I'm still in sandals. I don't think I'll make it through the winter lol.
I can definitely appreciate the sensitivity of this kind of secret. My MIL threw a fit at my gender reveal because we didn't invite her family and friends. She didn't grasp the concept that the gender reveal was NOT a baby shower. It was for the people that have gone through the emotions of the losses with us. Her friends and family did not therefore they weren't invited. I like small...I have our best friends, parents, close relatives and 6 siblings. Add in the kids and significant others and were talking close to 100 people. Sorry...I don't even like all of you I'm not inviting you for a BIGGER event than I even want lol
