So one of DH’s HS friends is married to this girl who’s a real treat. I don’t know if you guys remember this, but she posted this super triggery article about doing kick counts before she was even pregnant, but I was pretty late in my pregnancy and it really bothered me. Then when they came to visit and meet C when he was like 2 weeks old she told us that she just found out she was pregnant (so she was like 4 weeks along). She’s been posting very opinionated pregnancy and parenting articles since then. Made a huge deal about how she and her H know the sex of the baby but aren’t telling anyone else because they don’t want preconceived gender stereotypes to affect their baby. Okay, cool. I can respect that, but why shout it out to the world? Well they just had the baby and sent some photos to DH and their friend group. They didn’t say the sex or the name and the baby was in a blue sleeper with a pink hat. Obviously this bitch eats crackers for me but Wtf. It just seems so AW-ish to me. That’s weird they didn’t give a name. Does she think you already know it? My sister was also the same about not wanting their kids (they have 2 girls) having gender stereotypes. They were team green both times Guess who has the most princess of all princess girls?

Maybe they will let the baby choose its own name so no one can tie any stereotypes to whatever name they would choose for it 😜 I’m jk. And I totally get that some people don’t choose a name for their baby until after it’s born. I’m cool with that. I just think keeping up the “we’re not telling you the sex!” game after the kid is born is just a little much.

Re bedtime. Ds1 (3.5) is in bed getting a story read at 8pm. I start getting ds2 ready around 7pm or earlier if he napped crappy during the day. He does 1-2 wake ups and is up for the day around 8am. Ds1 is very active and no longer naps so he pretty much sleeps like a rock. He's so tired in the evenings.
My neighbor with kids the same ages as us has told me that her kids don't go to sleep until 11pm. 🤪 No thank you!!

pootsen, I get keeping the name or sex a secret as a way of avoiding getting all pink or blue or to make it a surprise when the baby is born, but to keep it going after the baby is born?? She’s a total AW.

@pootswn - any updates on name? I find it so strange ... I was team green both times, but it was because we wanted to find out in the moment / really enjoyed the surprise. But as soon as we had names/gender, we sent out the email or texts with all the info.

pootsen that is just extra. We were team green with DS and with the girls we found out but didn't tell anyone. We just told people we didn't know. Not to play games but because we wanted them to be surprised while we were prepared.
