Gender Surprise for Gwen and Gavin

Posted by Whit Honea

 

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are setting themselves, not to mention Kingston, up for a little something that I like to call the Greatest. Surprise. Ever.  Yes, the family has decided to wait until the actual birth to know the gender of the kid currently renting Gwen's belly.

My wife and I did this with both of our boys and it was awesome.  I know, it's a matter of personal choice and all that, but since I'm the one writing this damn post I'm going to give my take.  Wait.  There are only so many good surprises in the world, why waste the best one?  It's not like a baby needs anything gender specific, that's just sexist profiling.  Actually, I don't feel that strongly about the profiling part, but I do loves me a good surprise, like the crazy lady on SNL.

As an added bonus it causes high levels of unnecessary stress for extended family members.

Isn't it a surprise no matter when you find out?  I mean it was not like I knew already when I was told "It's a girl".  Was I told in the delivery room or the docs office?  Either way, it was a SURPRISE! I think the real issue here is suspense.  People like suspense to last and last.  Like orgasms or chocolates. A real surprise is being told you are having a baby of one sex by the doctor and they pull out a child of the other sex at delivery.  Or a bigger one is going in to have one baby, you deliver her, think the worst is over and then the the doctor says, "Whoa.  Wait a minute here.  There's a another baby coming down. " THAT is a surprise and a true story.

i completely agree with ya cassie. i could never figure out why people wanted to be "surprised" during the delivery. i liked knowing ahead of time so i could prepare.

I didn't want to find out because I didn't want to be tempted to buy all gender-specific stuff. I wanted to make sure we'd have a lot of green and yellow newborn things so we could keep them for future children.
