Pink Pinky Pink!!

Yes, I am so in love with color Pink. It attracts me most when I am searching anything for my baby-to-arrive :hehe:

I don’t know the gender and no sign on knowing it any further because my scans are all done!! :frowning:

I just want to know from all you Mummies, would that sound ok if I buy pink stuff and it turns out to be a boy at the end??
A friend of mine strictly told me not to buy Pinks when I don’t know the gender… she said, people will laugh at you and this and that and blah blah…

I just hate the whole idea why a baby boy can’t wear Pink. After all, he is a baby too… and a baby is a baby…ain’t it?? :frowning:

Darn! How many justifications am I giving just to get you guys say what I want to hear :hehe:

I am loving the Pink bedding, I love Pink drapes, Pink towels and swaddle me, I am totally in love with the Pink theme!!
You know the baby looks more delicate and soft and cutie cutie pie in Pink Color.

Would buying color Pink be a bad idea??? What that look odd if I make my baby wear color pink and its a boy???
:teary2: heeeelllpp…

Pink Pinky Pink!!

I looove pink stuffs n u are so right, pink stuff are all cute.. Umm but i dont mind getting anything in pink but for clothing ofcourse neutral colors are better if u dont know the gender yet. Im wondering y cant u go for gender scan or another scan? Or u want to keep it surprise?

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

Yar I had my last scan a couple of weeks back. Can’t go for another scan unless, private… and spending on Private means wasting your money… :frowning: its too much…

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

lol yeah… but… :frowning:

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

hmm i lovee pink and i love baby girl themed stuff and was really hoping i would have a girl first (before getting pregnant) but as soon as I got pregnant I had a hunch that it was a boy. so all the shopping I did early on before my scans I went with neutral stuff and I think they are just as equally adorable. and once I had my scans confirm that it is a boy I definitely didn’t buy anything pink. I dont care how cute pink stuff is but my little man is not wearing pink girly clothes haha. InshaAllah may Allah bless me with a daughter in the future (still working on getting this one out for now!) and that is when i will go all pink crazy and do all those cute things i wanted for her. but for the time being i am enjoying and learning as I go about how to dress a little boy. i have gotten him a million pairs of shoes and very cute shirts hes gonna be dressed like a little man :slight_smile: as for the bedding and everything I went all neutral again.. I didn’t do blue or pink - for two reasons.. in case the gender scan was wrong (which I doubt I have had about 5 scans confirming he is a he :D) and secondly if i wanted to use it for the next baby. and I am actually in love with all the neutral stuff I got its so cute!

anyways.. the point is that I dont think you should dress your little boy in pink - you don’t have to do blue if you dont want. i didnt buy a lot of blue either but dont do pink please. you might think its alright but it wont be when he looks back on his baby pics in 20 years lol. my sister in law wants to buy everything pink for my baby and it makes me mad :@ its almost like she does this to annoy me purposely. but my mil was sewing baby blankets and we went to select the fabric and she picked out everything pink cause apparently she hates blue and i was like we dont have to get blue but i dont want pink either. but ya in my opinion.. don’t do pink if you don’t know the gender. but who knows since you really wanna go all pink it might be a sign that it is a girl :smiley: wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy and a happy baby!

Sooo… What are we.to discuss here again?

Pink Pinky Pink!!

A dusky pink shirt on a elementary school age boy is cute

A pink tie on a man is sexy

Wrapping your newborn baby boy in head to toe pink and laying him down in pink themed nursery is just… :konfused:…I don’t know…weird

I think your pregnancy hormones are clouding your better judgement..either that or you just like to hear yourself talk :bummer:

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

lol. Thanks everyone… :slight_smile:

I think I shall control my freaking hormones :hehe:

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

My niece was adorable as both a baby and a toddler. I found her features to be feminine, so it surprised me that others would assume she was a boy even when was at the age where she could walk. Perhaps it was because her mom kept her hair short and that made some think she was a boy…or maybe on certain days she was wearing “boy” or “neutral” colors and combined with the short hair …made her look like a boy. Although for me it’s still hard yo understand cuz i found the features to be very obviously feminine. People would randomly come up to my cousin and say …“Aunti aap ka beta kitna kyoot hai”…cringe #1: the woman was only in her twenties and not your aunti and…cringe 2-the beta is actually a beti.

Also reminds me of an art teacher who had told us that people would assume her daughter was boy…and so she would apply glue to the back of a bow and smack it on to the tind of her baby, so that people would stop bugging her with that assumption.

Anyhow, there’s a point to my stories, Queen. It’s annoying enough if other people make incorrect assumptions about your baby’s gender…even when you aren’t deliberately misleading them…but it will be more annoying for you to give 2 explanations instead of one. Why 2, you wonder?

Well, the 1st explanation will be to tell people that your child which is dressed 2-3 times a week in pink clothes with pink booties and pink bib and pink hat and swaddled in pink blanket is actually a boy. So you’ll have to correct them baar baar about the gender. And your husband would also have to correct them baar baar..and could get annoyed doing so.

The 2nd question they’ll have is why he’s dressed in pink to which you will explain, with your usual unnecessary enthusiasm, that “Mujhay pink color bahut pasand hai. Pagalpan ki had tak…jaisa k aap dekh hi rahay hain.” And that enthusiasm may wane as you become more and more tired of baar baar explaining to people.

If it turns out to be a girl, great…it would be very convenient. If it turns out to be a boy…it will be more work for you to correct assumptions and to possibly return the pink items you bought. And poor “munna”…hopefully you’ll call him “munna” or “guddu”…instead of “pinky”…will cringe when he’s older and has to see photos of his pink crib and pink outfits…and he will have to do some extra rummaging in the albums to find pics of himself where he looks more like a boy for school autobiography projects.

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

aw… lol RV, you are really good at explanations :blush: you know that?? :@:

Y not yellow or green. Baby blue is boring compared to baby pink but baby yellow is so adorable

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

^yes, in fact hubby was saying yesterday for a Yellow theme, I have light green as an option too :confused:

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

ya.. definitely go with yellow or green. so much more adorable! i don’t love blue either so i went with neutrals and yellow and green a lot :smiley:

Re: Pink Pinky Pink!!

Go with black. A goth bebe.
