Upset.. :'(

[jojo_bean]

So we find out what were having Monday!! Yay right not really, my boyfriend's job is letting ppl go, but one quit today and they gave him some of that guys hour and that including the time of my appointment :'( he tryed getting off for the appointment, but its durring the busy time at his work, and I can't help but cry because he can't be there, this is our first kid together, my first his second, but I know he tryed, but he can't lose his job its to important to our income, I just can't stop crying, I know its not his fault but how do I stop crying, at least my mom and sister will be there I just wish he was...

Itll be fine. My husband was in training for both my ultrasounds and will be for her birth, as well as has been majority of my pregnancy. This is also our first.

My husband wasn't able to make it to my appt yesterday but my sister went and I got the dvd so he was able to see the baby still. I know its not the same but be thankful for his job and know that him being able to work is supporting you and the baby.

Im doing the same as hairdid said, just tell the ultrasound tech to write in an evelope and not find out yourself. Then go out on a date or do something special with your love and open it together so you still share that special moment.

My husband couldn't be there to find out the sex with our first baby. I told the lady right away not to tell me. I asked her if she could put it in an envelope. I wanted to open that envelope so bad, but I waited until my husband got home. We sat down n opened it together! You could do something like that if you want to find out together. If u don't wana wait for him then get lots of pictures and record the sonogram with ur phone or camera. Good luck!

you can ask the person doing the scan to record it and if they can't record it with your cell phone  and watch it together later that night. I too find out the babies sex on teusday n my husband cant make it due to work but thats ok try n get it recorded you'll have it a life time

oops forgot to add that he missed the gender u/s for our 3rd as well because of work and a friend brought me.

[Ashelen]

I agree with hairdid, that's a cute idea!

My husband was at our gender u/s for our first, but not our 2nd - he had to work. I texted him when he was at work, and he was so excited to tell all of his co-workers, so it still felt very special. no matter what, it's going to be an amazing moment that you'll never forget, so try not to get too upset about it - just get ready to enjoy.

[hairdid]

Tell them to put it in an envelope and you guys open it together. If u can wait!

No becaue they require 24 hr advance to reschedule and its Monday, and they are closed :(

That's a good idea, plan a special way for him to figure it out. A coworker told me that he and his wife spread the news by baking a cake with blue frosting in one of the inner layers of the cake. People had to dig into a piece to learn it was a boy. I like that idea, the baby's father and I are just too impatient, and our families would kill us if we kept the info to ourselves. Make it fun and it'll still be special to both of you. :)

Can you reschedule the appointment for when you both are available? Waiting one or two more days to find out would be worth it im sure if he was there with you.

It's not such a big deal. He's supporting your little family to be. Show him the u/s picture before you tell him and see if he can figure it out. That way it can still be special for him in a way. Good luck.
