[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like waiting is often something people do for attention.  Given that it's so easy to know these days it feels like made up drama.

We found out and sent pink or blue flowers to the grandparents and great grandparent.  They were super surprised and each called us to celebrate.  It was very fun to share with them, even if long distance.  We didn't do a gender reveal.  If I had older kids, I'd probably do something special just with them, like pink or blue filled cupcakes after dinner.  [/quote]

You have it completely twisted. People who plan gender reveals and expect people to be excited about that are attention seeking drama queens. 99.9% of the people you know do not care one iota what gender baby you're having. Gender reveal parties are attention seeking behavior. The same is true of posting pics of your baby bump everywhere.  [/quote]
People who don't find out expect everyone to talk about it all the time.  They want discussions of wives tales, people to bet on the gender, and deep conversations about gender vs sex. It's obnoxious and makes a big deal out of something that is easily known.[/quote]

Why would you think that?  We did not find out for either kid.  I would have found out for #2 so we could talk about her more concretely (with a name) to #1 but DH wanted to wait.  To him it made the day more special.  The delivery staff was all excited too.  There were no discussions of wives takes or bets.[/quote]

agreed this is a bizarre take-- i remember a friend repeatedly asking my 2 year ol what they thought the baby would be and she did not comprehend/care/she just kept saying a baby... we never made not knowing a big deal-- there's not that deep to even discuss of gender vs. sex-- what deep conversations are you even imagining?  if you want to know in advance, great- if you don't- great. do not care about your fetus's sex either way (other than to console your gender dissapointment)[/quote]
