We did a homecoming party for our son about two weeks after he was born instead of a baby shower or gender reveal to avoid some drama and it went without a hitch!
We've done genetic testing with this baby as well as per their suggestion because of a loss with no understanding and they want to take every precaution they can. ( So thankful for the OBGYN I see. )
I'm currently waiting for the office to call me sometime the end of this week or the beginning of the following to let me know the results of the genetic testing but I'm going to have them call my MIL for the gender. ( She asked us to be the first to know since she didn't know about either pregnancy first, we agreed as this is our final baby. ) So, she's been thinking of ways to tell us what to do to tell us when she comes home that day or something.
Which brings us to finding out during a gender reveal ( keeping it small, just a few people. ) or doing a homecoming like we did with our son. ( celebrate the baby, meet the baby! ) The problem I'm having with the homecoming is that this baby and DS' birthdays are going to be -SO- close. If this baby appears to be about 9lbs again they think they wouldn't let me go pass 39 weeks. ( DS was 9.2 without anyone even knowing or having an idea he was going to be that weight. )
Baby's due the 6th of April, DS was born the 11th of April. @_@
We're so torn on what to do because we don't want to foreshadow our son with the welcoming of the new baby at all.
