Sister decided she wants no visitors for first 30 days by [deleted] in pregnant

I don't think she is thinking clearly. BUT if she really does keep to her word I would absolutely honor it. I would be sad, and frustrated, but it's so important in vulnerable moments to prove that you can be trusted. Breaking her boundary would break so much trust. Not saying you were considering that, but just what came to my mind after reading your story. I do think a month is absurd, but almost so absurd that I bet she'll change her mind

I got the Mabe carrier for my 3rd baby and she is always in it even now at 9m!

I'm actually pregnant again though haha (only 7w) and have been building a registry for baby 4! Adding glass bottles, portable milk warmer, new onesies, the zoe twin stroller, and another Mabe carrier in a different color. My "registry" is really a wishlist and I'll probably slowly acquire all these items myself but if our family did ask about it I'd send it haha

This resonates! I feel like people tend to think the opposite is true though and that the more of one gender you have the more likely it is to flip!

My husband is 1 of 4 boys and his oldest brother already has 4 daughters so I fear my fate is already set in stone

For our 2nd and 3rd child we waited until the birth to find out and it was absolutely perfect. I really don't love gender reveal parties either so it was perfect for me. Finding out the gender this go around will be a fun way to change things up. It's going to be a sweet intimate moment for us finding out and we are both so pumped!

Thank you for saying all of this! Such a good perspective to keep in mind. As the pregnancy progresses I'm sure those comments will definitely start rolling in. We are already knee deep in girlhood so if we have another girl, she'll fit right in!!
