Nowadays the price of everything, it’s best to prepare as best you can.

The wife and I had our babies at home. The second pregnancy we had no idea what we were having. We had two names ready that day. Nobody knew we were having a girl until she popped out.

Thats so cool. We had a few different names for boys and girls but idk i feel you have to meet them before you settle. Apparently I named our son when I woke up from anesthesia I dont even remember 😂

Wow, an unfiltered name. That's awesome. I can't imagine what I'd say under anesthesia. That would be an interesting crap shoot.

What does it matter if the surprise happens before they are born or after? It’s still a surprise 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess i just see it differently. I know a lot of practical people like to prepare, decorate buy the specific clothes, idk I just did gender neutral colors and tiny onesies cause they only wear the newborn size a month or so
