We didn’t know the gender of our baby.
How many surprises do you get in a life time? I mean truly special moment surprises.
I don’t think we get many and that is why We decided to not know our babies gender until birth. We truly just wanted to be surprised.
Let me tell you I was not expecting on having a GIRL! 🩷
I truly thought I was just going to be a “boy mom” but I’m so happy to have my little girl. She was truly the greatest surprise I ever had and I will truly remember this moment.
My whole pregnancy was the same as my first, there were a few different things like I didn’t get the “Linea nigra” until my last few weeks, I did craved sweets, and I didn’t swell up like I did my first time.
Our little Girl got us! 😅
Pros about not knowing

Choosing not to find out your baby's gender can create an unforgettable experience. Many parents opt for this path to add an element of surprise to their journey. The excitement builds as the due date approaches, leading to joyous revelations. There are numerous benefits to waiting, including embracing gender-neutral clothing and decor, which also often leads to cost savings by avoiding the plethora of gender-specific items on the market. Besides the financial aspect, not knowing the gender fosters a sense of inclusion for all family members when preparing for the baby's arrival. It promotes creativity in name selection, as parents brainstorm without bias toward traditional gender roles. However, there are challenges, such as limited nursery planning and the nagging curiosity that sometimes arises during prenatal appointments. The moment of delivery is a culmination of all this anticipation, where the first sight of the baby holds profound emotional weight that many parents cherish. The trend of gender reveals has shifted for many to celebrated moments of surprise in the delivery room. Each story is unique, but the overwhelming consensus is that the joy of the unexpected makes the arrival even more special.
