The Gender Neutral Thread

[Alkali13]

I know there are a few other people on here not finding out the baby's gender, but I feel like we are such a minority!  Every day there are multiple "team" pink/blue threads, but I hardly ever see Team I'm Not Finding Out.  I don't want my little girl or boy being surrounded by gender expectations from birth (pink/blue, trucks/dolls, etc.).  I definitely understand the anticipation of knowing the gender, but I don't understand why there is so much importance placed on it.  Our parents most likely didn't even HAVE ultrasounds with us, lol.

I am NOT bashing people for finding out the gender, I just personally don't understand the fascination with designing everything for baby around biological sex.

Discuss.

That's such a crazy coincidence!  I wish I had something like that with my partner...  Our friends have a picture of both of them at a wrestling even when they were kids separately, but that's the closest thing I know.

My 4 year old is Calvin after my uncle. He died when I was in kindergarten. He was in a car accident and the guy who found him is my husband's dad (who died the year after.) Huge connection we had. :)

My son's walls are a minty/lime green. For my shower I did zoo/jungle animals. Now he will eventually move into the bigger room (going to be painted a grey/blue) and my second little one will move into the nursery

Here it's all yellow and gray...  I'm searching for green and orange and red.  Certain blues are neutral too, IMO.

I literally LOLed at that, I love it.

We have decided not to find out the sex of our baby and I'm extremely happy about this.. how many real surprises do you get in life? I keep fantasizing about that moment when my husband will say "it's a boy or it's a girl".. it will be amazing.  The only thing that annoys me is the limited choice of clothes in neutral colors - at least here in Australia.  There's only so many onesies in white and blue stripes or stars thatI can buy. Everything else is pink or blue..grrr..
