[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand this logic that it “helps with names.” it’s not like there are a million outcomes to prepare for? Pick a name for a girl and a name for a boy and be done. [/quote]

Especially for our third kid, it was not easy to pick a name and one less thing to do was greatly appreciated.  It also helped with sorting the hand me down clothing prior to birth.  Basically, I am in favor of anything that makes your life easier and knowing the gender often does make your life easier.

I have friends that did a small FB posting gender reveal for their second, where a friend baked a cake and they cut it open with their preschooler for the preschooler to find out with them.  It was very cute and it was fun for all the friends/relatives to see it that way as we always enjoy a cute video of the adorable preschooler.  I thought it was probably a good way to do it ,because then the older one would associate the news with delicious frosted cake, so it helps undercuts any potential disappointment for the older sibling (as they sometimes have very fixed views of what gender a baby siblings should be).

Honestly if you’re too busy to possibly come up with a name what made you think making a whole mother child was a good decision? Seems like time is ultra tight. For us it was easy as we didn’t have B/G twins on a previous birth- so one of the two genders was already figured out. Maybe it was just me but I didn’t find that too onerous in the 40 weeks I had a slid in a mme t or two to think about it and that was that. [/quote]
