But I REALLY want a little girl (REALLY want a girl!) So I've decided that when people ask, I'm gonna say we're hoping for an ankylosaurus. </p> <p>Basically, the gender tells me two things: the name, and whether to buy dinosaur stuff or fairy/butterfly stuff. I'll either be really excited or I won't. The gender itself won't affect my reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24657 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:32:08 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 24657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: oh wow, that is a lot of pressure on you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24647 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:18:52 +0000 tequiero21 24647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>congrats, amy! so excited for you! definitely nice to take the pressure off, eh? i felt very pressured to have a boy too because my hubby is the first son of the first son of the possibly first son? and his brother doesn't look likely to ever have kids, so i felt the pressure of having to continue the "line".... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24597 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:34:14 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 24597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Everyone was very excited! It definitely takes the pressure off for now, but I'm going to want a girl if we have another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24591 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:29:50 +0000 mediagirl 24591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah! Congrats! You got what everyone wanted!! :) How were the reactions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24582 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:20:19 +0000 Adira 24582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@amyc83: Congrats!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-24573 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:14:19 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 24573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-20885 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:26:42 +0000 mediagirl 20885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@amyc83: the only time I have heard of them getting the sex of wrong is if they do bloodwork to find out the sex instead of the ultrasound. Most people do the bloodwork early on (10 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-20884 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 04:22:31 +0000 mediagirl 20884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: one of each! How exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-20741 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:30:38 +0000 heffalump 20741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone will be so excited no matter what!</p> <p>I was nervous hubby wouldn't be excited when we found out we were having a girl. I knew he wanted a boy. So I asked him, and he said of course he's happy still. And now that she's here she's such a daddy's girl, gives him the biggest giggles.</p> <p>And my reaction when we found out.... I said "told you so!" Because I just knew she was a girl. But no cry or squeal. Just a told you so. I was so embarrassed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9698 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:18:49 +0000 jennylynn 9698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@amyc83: I don't think it's very common, but I have heard of it happening. I think its more common to mistake a boy for a girl than the other way around. I can't imagine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9690 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:42:26 +0000 tequiero21 9690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was really nervous too. holding my breath for girl and boy. and i got it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9647 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:50:22 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 9647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbells @jennylynn oh my goodness, wouldn't that be terrible if they got it wrong? Is that very common these days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9640 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:40:08 +0000 jennylynn 9640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nervous to find out at first too, because my husband, his parents, and my dad all really wanted a boy. But we found out Wed. its a little girl! And if they were disappointed, I couldn't tell. I'm with MRSBELLS, I just hope they got it right :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9580 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:24:42 +0000 Mrsbells 9580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really excited to find out! I actually cannot wait, although I'm nervous because I worry they might get it wrong </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9578 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:15:58 +0000 cyndistar3 9578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think there is a bad reaction really. We wanted a boy so bad but ended up having a girl, I was a little sad for a few seconds but then I realized that I didn't really care and that either way its still my baby. And now I am happy we had a girl, she has been such a blessing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9577 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:12:15 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 9577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3 we were going to do it in front of people, but my husband decided he'd rather open it just the two of us. Still, I want to have a "good" reaction, whatever that means. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9574 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 13:07:15 +0000 cyndistar3 9574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot wait to find out what we are having! We will just have them tell us there because I do not want to find out in front of others just for the reasons you posted. I would hate to be all disappointed in front of everyone :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nervous-to-find-out-the-sex-of-the-baby#post-9557 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:50:18 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 9557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is/was anyone else out there nervous to find out the sex of their baby? I'm 19 weeks pregnant with our first and we'll find out in a few short weeks (Thanksgiving day is my husband's birthday, so we'll have the tech write it down at our appointment on the 14th and we'll open it together as his birthday present) and while I'm excited, I'm also really nervous. I think I'm feeling this way because it will make it so much more real. Also, what if people are disappointed? I know my husband's parents want a boy because they have two granddaughters and no grandsons yet, and my husband really wants a boy, but will they be sad if it's a girl? Also, what if I don't react how people expect me to? What if I don't cry or squeal or anything? It's so much pressure! </p>
