Alternatively have the outcome written on a piece of paper then stick it in an envelope and open it up on Xmas day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively have the outcome written on a piece of paper then stick it in an envelope and open it up on Xmas day. We'll be finding out mostly from a practical point of view. They are still a bit more traditional here with their view on all these newfangled "woke" thingmies and we will have to register early for things like child care and the like, and they want to know all this shit before they will consider entertaining you. Also, it means I can instantly reduce a huge % of the possible names we might give it. And anything that reduces my potential workload is good by me. ETA: I may consider a "Gender reveal shotgun party". Anyone who wants to take part can stare down the barrel of a shotgun and I will gladly fucking end them.

It's not been too long and I'm sure it'll all come back. My third was easiest baby, once I recovered from her nearly killing me, don’t know if it was because you’re more relaxed as a parent third time round helps. She’s a stubborn wee brat now. Soooo yeah good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if it's different up the road but when my Mrs asked the radiographer(?) to do this a few weeks back* she was told they can't do that. So the woman told my mother in law and she put it in an envelope for us. * I was in Glasgow and we wanted to find out together via video call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 We didn't bother. We did have a name agreed for a girl but not for a boy tho. I'd suggested Joe, because if she'd come out on her due date, she'd have had the same birthday as Joe Louis. As it is, she got Mr T, Biggie Smalls and Jeffrey Dahmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Scan done, all looking good and as it should. It’s a boy, which means scrapping the dozen or so names we had as potentials. Couldn’t get a 3D picture, every time the lassie tried the wee one moved his arm over his face. Next time I expect he’ll have worked out how to give us two fingers at the same time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have thought of that one myself, a friend of mine is doing just that this Xmas and I thought it would be quite a decent compromise between waiting and finding out on the day/finding out due to impatience 5 months before the baby is actually born. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Evie was talking about her other grandad, whom she calls papa. I'm granda and I'm "old as old" whereas papa must be a young thing (comparitively speaking).

Wife and daughter are doing great Congratulations. Does anyone else tell classic fibs to their kids? I've been telling the youngest her ears turn purple when she lies. We also used to tell her big sister the old one about the ice cream van music meaning they'd run out of ice cream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tell her to let me smell her hands the truth usually comes out. They arent old enough yet for proper lies though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
