Did you know that everyone takes things for granted in this world? You may not even realize you do it. But do you ever really stop to think about the sun coming up in the early morning or how the moon rises in the evening? These things are only some of what the scores of people on Earth take for granted. It’s not different than a baby shower being thrown and you knowing what to buy because you know it’s a boy or a girl. Yet, this is not always the case. More parents are opting to not to find out the sex of their baby until he or she is born. This leaves many baby shower guests heading out to buy a gift and not knowing what to get.

You must think back before the time of ultrasound machines because it has only been around for the last 25 to 30 years that we had this technology. What do you think people did then? Have we become that spoiled in learning what the sex of the baby is just to shop for what the baby will need?

Besides it has been known that ultrasounds are not 100 percent accurate. What could be mistake as a boy’s penis may actually be a girl with the umbilical cord between them. It is a possibility. Moms, Dads and even doctors have been tricked when going into the birthing/delivery room and getting the surprise that while they were preparing for a little Johnny, Emily was born instead. They even bought all boy clothes because that’s what they thought they were having.

Situations such as this should tell people that too many others are taking advantage of the technology that is out there. Even those who are not pregnant take advantage of it because it makes it easier to shop for the baby clothes. One suggestion to those who do not know what the expectant mother’s baby sex is…go buy neutral colors.

First off, avoid the pinks and blues entirely. This decides it is one over the other when this is not the case. Go with other colors. There are outfits coordinated in a unisex fashion, meaning greens, yellows and colors of such in between. Even red will do. Here is a hint: use the Mexico and Italy flags’ colors to help guide you to buy those unisex baby clothing. Oddly enough, pale blue clothing is okay for a girl. This color enhances certain features and can be used. However, with that being said, never place any type of pink on a boy. You cannot pass pink off as neutral. Remember no frilly type of outfits, as those tend to lean toward the female end of clothing.

You can always buy a gender specific outfit if you prefer and give the receipt to the mother-to-be if you wish. This is still acceptable! There are no guarantees that she will keep it and if you worked hard to find the gift, it was like wasting your time shopping.
