2010 pregnancy/baby thread

Are you waiting to buy clothes or going with gender neutral?

I have quite a bit of clothes already as my SIL had a baby in October (a boy) so she has given me his clothes he has outgrown already. Albeit there is a lot of blue clothes I have some that can go for girl too (beige/brown, yellow, red, orange). I have purchased some myself as well, usually yellow, green, beige or white. I bought a little girl outfit this past weekend, I told hubby I needed something definitely girl to bring her home in. I figure everyone will be so excited once we have the baby they will get clothes then, especially if it's a girl since we haven't had a girl in the family since I was born.

Doesn't it get irritating when people do that? My husband and I were in the elevator at the hospital, leaving my ob/gyn's office when I was right around the due date with my daughter. We knew she was a girl, and there was some woman in the elevator who was convinced I was having a boy. Um, no...

It does get irritating, hubby and I have a good laugh about it. I would think knowing the sex and having people tell you differently has got to be worse than us just not knowing. My SIL had a boy and she knew it and so did some others but some would still tell her she was having a girl, ummm she could see his "bits" on the sonogram pic.

The matter of fact tone and 100% sure is what is irritating, I would think if they were that good people would be seeking them out for their thoughts.
