[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is your due date again, OP?  I can't imagine the stress and worry, but you are handling it with such grace that I know any uncertainty will be handled the same way you are doing it now![/quote]

I'm due early September, so a little over 3 weeks to go. [/quote]

You're doing amazingly, OP!

I don't think it's weird for you to have a sense of your baby. You and your baby have been sharing the same space for 9 months now!

OTOH, it's also not weird to not have everything decided. If you're waiting on a name or an announcement, just tell people you want a little time with your baby with just your family before you invite the world in. That's a perfectly reasonable desire, even if you didn't have other stuff going on to make this process harder on you!

Do you have a friend at work you could designate as the "information" person? I did that when I had my baby, because an older, wiser woman suggested that with my first child I wasn't going to know which was up. She was right. It was handy to be able to tell anyone who got around my information person that they should talk to Larla, she would be keeper of the information, because I was exhausted and just trying to figure out how to be a mom. My friend at work was happy to be the gatekeeper. I'd bet most women would be willing, if it's something you'd want to consider. (Then it's just "OP hasn't told me the name yet! She had the baby yesterday, and Baby Jones was 20 inches long!") Any information you don't yet feel comfortable sharing becomes "she hasn't told me yet!" rather than you having to deal with the weight and stress of this.
