I definitly would not rely on that 70% , my little boy came home to pink everything!! We had to send family to the store to get him an outfit to come home in, we even ripped the pink bows off of his socks so he could wear them home. I definitly would start shopping though and stick with nuetrals, or if you do find something you really like for a girl buy it and leave the tags on and keep the reciept just in case. Just my opinion. I think its easier to mistake a boy for a girl if his legs were crossed or something, harder to mistake a girl for a boy because the boy part really sticks out.
How many weeks are you??

Mine was supposed to be named kenna shay , but since he turned out to be a boy its cash preston. I wanted a girl but im glad he was a boy though, after seeing him I wouldnt have it any other way. I do feel like trading them in sometimes though. Just kidding. Laughing

You can start shopping any time your heart desires. Just stick with some neutral colrs to be on the safe side.

i never found out what I was having. By choice. The only thing I bought was a beautiful neutral blanket. I'm not too into the neutral clothes and other stuff. I loved that blanket so much, I lost it once and had to buy another (it wasn't cheap Shocked ). It just reminds me of when I was pregnant and waiting for my baby.
