He's as impatient as I was to know. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386218 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:48:30 +0000 Charm54 386218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the idea of having the technician write the gender down in an envelope, then bringing the envelope to a bakery to have them make either pink or blue cupcakes (the inside, not the frosting). You, your DH, and your mom could all bite into the cupcakes at the same time to find out if you're having a girl or boy! I would totally do something like this, with just my immediate family, if I wasn't going to be team Green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386203 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:43:35 +0000 SAHM0811 386203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah for #2 he found out at the scan and I waited til birth. It totally worked out for us. Sounds like your DH is ok with you finding out before and so are you! Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386146 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:28:58 +0000 Springtime 386146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally find out early and let him find out in a creative way! This is your 2nd so I'm assuming he got to experience it the fist time, so I would do something different! I like the idea of him unwrapping something or if you guys wanted to find out together you could have he tech put the gender in an envelope and have a cake made and you guys could both cut it open? Or I have seen a box of balloons being opened with either pink or blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386116 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:20:58 +0000 sea_bass 386116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally up to you and your DH. Personally, I would want to share the moment with my DH. But I am sure it would be just as special if you do a gender reveil for him. As long as he doesn't feel left out, go for it! </p> <p>Good Luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386094 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:16:09 +0000 autumnlove 386094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I suggested that to DH but he said he wants a more exciting way to find out..lol. I think he is secretly dying to unwrap a mini football jersey or something boy!<br /> My friend thinks we should go to an ultrasound place near my mom's place during Thanksgiving break. She says she took her parents and grandparents to her elective scan and the place she went to had a mini theater for family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386092 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:15:46 +0000 Smurfette 386092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: That is what I would do too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386081 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:13:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 386081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I was going to suggest the same thing. Then you could tell your mom over Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386026 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:57:12 +0000 DillonLion 386026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you have the scan done but have the technician write it on a card in a sealed envelope so you can still find out together? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-find-out-the-gender-before-your-so#post-386023 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:56:38 +0000 autumnlove 386023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dying to know the gender and I can get an elective scan next week at 16 weeks. DH has a crazy schedule and we can't find a date that works for us. He thinks I should go alone and tell him in a creative way when he gets home from work. I'm trying to decide if we should just wait for our official gender scan on 12/10 and find out together or find out early! </p> <p>DH thinks the gender news might cheer up my mom at Thanksgiving...she has been really sad lately. :-( (One of her best friends died under horrible circumstances last month.)</p> <p>Ahhh...what would you do? </p>
