The MFM office called and told me the results when I was at work. That afternoon, I picked up some blue "It's a boy!" balloons and had them waiting in the living room when DH got home (I didn't tell him that I got gotten the call until he got home, so he was really surprised). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328498 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:11:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 1328498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wanted him to be with me in the U/S so that way we found out together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328465 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 14:01:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1328465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: so sweet you waited for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328446 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:57:08 +0000 Boogs 1328446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came with me to find out. I would be dying if he knew before me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328434 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:52:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1328434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MCD919: fun!! :) It totally was the longest wait! And a bunch of people knew we were finding out so people kept messaging me all day asking if DH was home yet! He aid he would try to be home early too.. but nope got home just after 5! It was super fun doing it that way though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328431 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:51:41 +0000 MCD919 1328431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Cute idea!!</p> <p>We did something similar... I had to go for an unexpected scan at 17 weeks due to bleeding, and I figured they'd be able to tell me the sex at that point. DH couldn't go, and he wanted us to find out together, so they put a card in an envelope for us. I had to go to work, and I left the envelope in the car so I wouldn't be tempted! It was the longest day ever, but we got our favorite take out and finally opened it after dinner- Boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328404 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:41:48 +0000 Dandelion 1328404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He went with me to find out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328355 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:25:51 +0000 artsyfartsy 1328355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came with me when we found out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328345 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:23:48 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1328345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He couldn't come with me! So I didn't find out there. I had the tech write it down in an envelope. I then took the deal envelope to the local kids store. I picked out a boy and girl outfit and then the store owner peaked inside and wrapped up the right outfit. When he got home from work we opened together and it was a boy! It was he longest wait ever :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328284 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:06:17 +0000 Alivoo01 1328284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Cute!!</p> <p>DH went with me to all my appointments so no surprise here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-surprise-your-so-with-the-babys-sex#post-1328240 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:57:23 +0000 Mamaof2 1328240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I told him I would tell him after dinner - he assumed it was a boy since I didn't tell him as soon as he walked in</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Thanks!

And, if so how did you later reveal the sex to your SO? </p>
