I need ideas ..

Hubby and I will be in 2 different states for the 20 week sex appointment (sounds totally weird but you all know what I mean) and for the entire pregnancy and first year of our baby's life pretty much. 

I need some ideas on how to let him know the sex of our baby. OR better yet, how can we make it so that we both find out at the same time and I can see the reaction on his face when he figures it out?

I thought i might ask the doctor is i can set up a web cam at the appointment  during the sonogram but I know that usually the lights are off so i don't know how well that would work and my appointment might conflict with his work schedule too. 

Any other ideas? 

It's really important for him to feel included in this whole processes. He is already going to be missing out on so much. 

It might be a bit hard to find out at the same time, however I know my doctors office gave me the option to pay for a DVD that had the entire ultrasound on it.  Maybe if your doctors office has that option then you can get it on DVD and then send it to him and then maybe be on a webcam while he watches it.

OR, if you really want you can get the doctors office to put it on DVD while you DO NOT watch and then you can just burn him a copy and you can watch it at the same time over web cam!!

Take two pieces of paper and two envelopes. Have them write it on the paper and seal both envelopes. Then, you mail his to him and both of you open it together on the phone. 

Or, take someone with you to your appointment. Have the doctor secretly tell them the sex. Then, that person tells both of you at the same time on the phone or when he is via web-cam with you.

I was just going to say speaker phone - take your cell in with you and have the Dr announce it so hubby can hear it on the cell phone!

That stinks but make the most of it!

I like the envelope idea.   We tried to have my in laws on speaker phone via cell phone when we found out Hannah was a girl. The ultrasound tech wouldn't let us be on the phone during the ultrasound.

I love all the ideas :)  Good luck in picking the one that will work for you and your husband :)
