Cher's Sex Reveal Party (xp)

[Cherhorowitz]

As requested, it's own separate thread announcing the genitals of my unborn child.

Like all good parties, I have good booze flowing:



There's delicious food:





And, of course, cake:



Sorry about the delay in this, I kind of felt like I wanted to at least tell my family and BFF's I was KU, before putting it out on the Internet. Plus, as mentioned before, I'm a weirdo that gets awkward talking about these things.

So, about that genital thing:



Sorry to disappoint. I kind of feel like I disappointed everyone. I have heard lots of "perfect family" stories and then comparatively how "boy mom's" lives are so messy and filled with fart talk. And I'm just kind of like:



Like, maybe I don't picture my life being messy and filled with fart jokes?

But it's fine. I'm really excited that my son will have a little brother and buddy. I'm working through my feelings that I might never pick out a prom dress or have a mother/daughter relationship with my own child. I might have cried in a children's store this weekend because I couldn't buy any of the cute dresses. But I also cried when MH brought up moving our kid into a big boy room because I don't want my kid to feel like he's being kicked out of his room. So, that's where I'm at right now.

Enjoy the party and drink the booze and eat the raw tuna for me!

TL;dr: I'm craxly pregly and I'm having a boy.

Congrats Cher!!! Take all the time you need to process! The bond your boys will share will be an amazing thing to see!!

Two boys is the best!!!!

Edit to add
You'll get used to the idea and be perfectly fine.
My boys like a lot of the things I like so I'm not alone in my girlness so to speak. They can decorate a house and pick colors that go together and arrange flowers and do crafts and crochet and knit and cook and stuff people think of being girl stuff.

They like to dress up and I get to loan jewelry to their dates for the prom. It's not quite the same but it's fun. And we don't do messy and farty. Well maybe but we blame that on my Dh

Give yourself time. My oldest son was kinda disappointed when he found out we were having another boy. He said we already have one of them. And now he can't imagine life without his best friend brother

But you won't have to buy all the crazy amounts of tampons and pads! Congrats!!!

[flippinchica]

Congrats! All the craxy preggly thoughts are normal!

[Deleted]

I'm so excited for you, Cherhorowitz!!!

A lot of the moms I admire the most today are moms of boys. They're straight-forward, take-no-bullshit, fierce protectors of their boys. They respect and devotion their boys have for their moms is goal worthy.

Congratulations!
Work through those feelings however you need! Most people I know (including myself) had at least some sort of mixed emotions after finding out the sex!

[adinashoshana]

Also, I have a daughter and our house is full of butt this and questions like "Do you have to go poop?" "No, just gassy!" So vaginas mean fart talk as well.

[Deleted]

Congrats!! Boys are awesome! You got this... youre going to have two perfect and handsome sons and that's exciting!

[stargazer763]

Congrats from a lurker also having her second boy! I feel the same thoughts you are.

[Deleted]

Congratulations!

[claud]

Congrats!

Two boys is awesome, but I understand the mixed feelings for sure.

[adinashoshana]

Also, am I terrible for initially thinking this thread would be some crazy BI about celeb sex?

[ShtsNGiggles]

Congratulations! I had the same feelings when i found out ds2 was a boy. Not gonna lie, we do have fart talk regularly but seeing my boys together is the sweetest (for the 2.5 seconds they aren't fighting).

When I was pregnant with ds1 some random drunk guy told me that a boy likes his father but his first love is his mom. (Not saying the opposite is true for girls, but it made me feel good in the moment).

You're going to be a great boy mom.

[Deleted]

And just FYI... my daughter is the one that keeps trying to take her diaper off and make poop art, and farts like a man with no shame... Not my son! sooo lol

[Deleted]

Also brothers! They're going to be best buds I bet!

[Deleted]

First congrats!

Second, these feelings happen.

I really really really didn't want a daughter, and when they said K was a girl I went home and cried. But obviously, everything turned out awesome.


Baby Horowitz will be adorable, well dressed, and up to date on celebrity gossip.

[vandelay]

Congrats on your little boy, Cher!

FWIW, I love little boy clothes. Also, I am often jealous because the options for little boy Halloween costumes are so much funnier, e.g. baby Pope.

[shemarie82]

Congrats! Your boys will be best friends! It will be amazing.

[angelashly]

Please to fly here in 14 years to help me pick out DD's prom dress


But really take the time to feel how you feel. I had those moments knowing I would never have the boy I always thought I would

Congrats

[SheilaTheTank]

Congratulations! Mh and his brother are absolute best friends and I bet both your boys will be too.

[Emmentaler]

Congrats! I only have the one but I love being a mama to a boy. I do have moments where I get sad about missing a mother/ daughter relationship (so I get that too) but I've always felt that I was meant to be a boy's mom and would want another boy if we ever had another (which we won't).

There is a lot of fart, butt, and penis talk in my life already and he's not quite 3. I'm just rolling with it.

You have the perfect family- healthy, happy, and loved. Congrats again!

[iaminigomontoya]

Congrats! As a fellow mom to two boys who briefly mourned never having a daughter, I totally get it.

But little boys rock and you're going to love watching them grow and play together. There's nothing cuter than watching DS2 try to emulate everything DS1 does and seeing how proud DS1 does when he teaches his little brother something new.

[Cherhorowitz]

I'm reading everything and it's very, very appreciated. I'm actually crying and eating a fried chicken salad right now. Told you. Craxly pregly.

[ShtsNGiggles]

IRT picking out prom dresses, just keep posting here. You'll be helping pick all of the parenting girls' dresses.

[callmeKD]

congrats!!

[blackbird]

Congrats!!!!

[bunnyfungo]

Congrats! It's okay to be in your feelings about missing out on having a girl. I was team green, but convinced DD3 was a boy. I sobbed uncontrollably in the hospital about missing out on having a boy. So, that probably makes me more of an asshole. Because I was holding my baby.

[helenahhandbasket]

Congrats! This is a good happy thing, but feel what ever you need to for however long.
