…but it is a secret.
We discovered that there aren’t many gender neutral things and so there aren’t many ways to prepare for a baby unless you know what the gender is. Since we are on such a tight budget right now preparing is a necessity. That is why we made the decision to find out if Baby B was a girl or boy. But, that left us with a bit of a problem. Ryan and I both wanted for him to be able to come out of the delivery room and “announce” something after Baby B was born but since everyone knew the gender we decided not to let anyone else know his name. This way he can run out and announce his name, weight, height and all of that other good stuff after he is born and it gives our family a bit of a surprise to look forward to.
It is funny though because I have grown so use to calling him by his name when it is just Ryan and I that I have almost slipped up a couple of times. I caught myself though so the secret is still safe!
…the kids refer to him as “Shafupala”.
Did you all get to keep any secrets while waiting on baby? What did you do and how did your family react?
