I posted this originally in my Oct 15 Birthclub but wanted to repost here bc it seems like I'm being the unreasonable one...(guess there's some stuff that i've left out... just needed to vent)
So I've been having a ton of pelvic pain as this is my second pregnancy really close to my first - they will be 14 months apart. I'm 17 weeks currently and my OB wanted to do an ultrasound to check on the baby and make sure everything is ok given my amount of pain I've been in - so it kinda ended up being more of a gender scan. (Not routine at all). Anyway, I allowed my MIL to come with just like I did with DD. After poking around a while dr. said that baby was in a bad position to determine the gender for sure, so we'd have to wait until the 20 week anatomy scan. So MIL exclaimed "oh well, we had a reveal party planned for tonight".... now this was news to me. And we already had plans with friends - that she knew of! So she said she was going to try to convince me to keep it a secret so that she can reveal the gender of our baby to the family that night! In our freaking absence mind you! My blood started boiling really fast.. now I'm almost considering joinging team green and not finding out until birth, mainly to take back control. (I'll admit it, I like to be in control, and so does she, that's why we sometimes budd heads). I don't know if I'll really go through with it, but it scary how satisfying the thought of it feels
Guess I'm not really asking anything, I might still find out three weeks from now, but man, part of me just really want to be like, "I let you in and you decided to take over, so now you are out." That sounds really mean when I write it out like that lol, didn't sound so bad in my mind... oh well, I guess whenever I finally cool down I'll let it go and allow her back in.. thanks for listening... end vent.
