Q: Finding out the gender..

I was curious as to who is not finding out the sex of their baby, and who is? Or if you have before or not.. My husband NEEDS to know the gender of the baby but I personally want to wait, buut then there's the fact that I want to be able to prepare for a boy or girl. It's still early but still something I sit here and wonder about lol.

It is our first and we are going to find out-I wanted the surprise but my husband really wants to know and I am fine making him so happy. Most of our stuff will be gender neutral anyway for the next one that comes along but it will be fun when we know to be able to buy something if we know it's a boy or girl and fall in love with it. I've seen a few girl things I would have loved to have already :)

We did not find out with our first because she was turned around and legs closed every time Dr tried to check.
Turned out it was a girl and it was a great surprise. With the 2nd we wanted to know to prepare our daughter who was almost three at the time. She needed the preparation to help her feel more in control of being a big sister and not left out. With the third we found out early with the DNA / Chromosomal test since I am 35. And i wanted to know so that I could prepare for her arrival. This pregnancy is already a great surprise for me so I didnt want more. I would say the first is best for waiting but after that you need as little surprises as possible to plan with your growing family. And I hated everything being neutral colored by the way. It is so boring to have yellow and white everything!

I love questions like this because people's opinions vary sooo much. I did not find out with my first. It didn't matter what I was having. I knew I'd love it no matter what (and I'm not a huge fan of pink or blue). With this one though, I plan on finding out simply because my daughter is 7 now and I think the preparation for her will be easier if she knows it's a baby brother or a baby sister. Any further pregnancies, though, and I'm going back to leaving it as a surprise.

I found out with all my babies. And I will again with this little one. It doesn't bother me what we're having, but we always like to know.

I'm 36 weeks and we have no clue what we are having, and it doesn't really bother me much. There isn't anything you need RIGHT AWAY that has to be pink or blue. The baby doesn't care and you can always get something the first few weeks. Or you can buy some boy stuff and some girl stuff and just return it when baby is born. We're doing that.

I am finding out the gender of my twins next Saturday! I'm impatient. I can't wait for anything. I'm paying for an elective ultrasound at 16 weeks to find out.
