gender neutral
I don’t know the gender of my little sprout, and I don’t think I’ll want to find out before the birth. :-) A friend suggested that we ask the doctor or the ultrasound tech to write the gender on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. So we did just that.
It’s currently sitting on the window ledge next to my desk in our home office space. We opted for this choice because it’s convenient in case we change our minds on wanting to know. :-) I’d suggest it for anyone, though because honestly, would you rather find out over a romantic dinner with your SO, or curled up with a nice cup of tea, or in a cold, sterile doctor’s office with goop on your belly?
We tried to tell a few people that we have the gender written down and sealed, and the response is usually some kind of surprise that we’re not more tempted to open it.
