Am I being hormonal?

I guess your baby will arrive first so just go ahead and call it your first choice. She's being a bit silly. There's more important things in life. Enjoy your pregnancy. She seems a bit put out that you will be first. She'll get over it when baby arrives as you just don't have time for that sort of carp.

I'd guess she's having a girl then, and won't tell you she is because she knows you'll be using the same she wants for hers.


Or is my imagination running away with me? lol

She was only 12 weeks when I found out and she said she was using the name so she wouldn't of known by then.

I do not think she is really choosing that name Im positive it was said out of spite back then as she wants a girl and I think she was envious I am having a girl. So I am guessing if she does not want me to know the sex is probably another boy.

I just feel really annoyed she has told my other sisters but has made a point of making sure nobody tells me.

I have sent her a message asking why she does not want me to know, so far no reply.

Messages can be ignored unfortunately, particularly if she's got a bee in her bonnet. I like newcook's idea. Just pop round for a completely different and innocuous reason and ask her how everything's going. Make it just a nice chat about things. And be the grown up about things. Rather than get cross with her, just think she's being a bit silly instead.

I think you've already got kids (from a comment on another thread). Is this her first? Perhaps she's worried about measuring up to you?

Well she won't be able to hide it once the baby is here, will she?
I wouldn't play her silly games. It's going to be a boy or it's going to be a girl. If it makes her feel happy to make people "swear on their sons life" (most people grow out of that by early teens) then let her.

You have your own pregnancy to think about. Let her wallow in her secret squirrel antics to her hearts content.

She's either trying to emulate you, or undermine you. A bit of both probably. Sounds like she's rather insecure about this pregnancy and having a child, and you've become the focus of her anxieties.

I would say that she is being very silly about it, Whats age is she? she sounds very young and immature.

If I were you I would tell her to stop being silly and childish, and I would call my baby whatever i pleased she will look very silly if she goes on to call her baby the same as yours a couple of months later.

Don't get stressed about it just enjoy your own pregnancy.

How petty and childish (your sister, not you). She needs to grow up a bit.

Yes, next question

No, but it sounds like she is. Really silly behaviour but try not to feel bad, you're not overreacting or at fault.

Maybe (if she's having a boy) she's upset (because she wanted a girl - and that's what you're having) and she just wants a bit of time to process it before telling you.

Having said that, telling everyone else and telling them specifically not to tell you is rather immature.

Hope you both have happy, healthy babies because that's the most important thing after all
