I want to know - DH doesn't

calex33

DH and I have been talking about whether or not we are going to find out the sex of our baby. ?I really want to know so that I can plan ahead (I am a little OCD about planning). ?He, on the other hand, is dead set against finding out. ?He says that he doesn't care if I find out but I wouldn't be allowed to tell him. ?Well, that doesn't really help me because it would be next to impossible to buy things, plan a shower, set up a nursery, etc., ?without him knowing the sex. ?Anyone else in this situation?

We're reversed. I don't want to find out. He does.

We did rock paper scissors (lizard spock - Big Bang Theory anyone?). I won!

We were but I won in the u/s room.

I don't want to know, and he does. ?I'm the one who has to be pregnant, so I win.

As far as the nursery and clothes and all of that, I had planned on doing a pretty neutral nursery anyway, and the baby will sleep in our room for the first few months anyway, so I don't feel a need to have everything ready by birth. ?I'll just get to do lots of online shopping those first few weeks!

Good luck. ?It sucks when you disagree about this.?

I think whoever is pregnant wins.

We were sort of like that, but in the end DH gave in and we found out.  I still ended up with mostly neutral stuff though-all we have that's blue is blankets and clothes.  Hope you can come to an agreement!

why would you be planning a shower?

I have a coworker who found out and was able to keep it a secret from her FI. Not sure I could do it! DH wanted to find out - and I didn't. I think we've agreed to find out this time and let the next baby be a surprise.

I wouldn't be planning a shower but, in my experience of both hosting and attending showers, if the sex of the baby was known, it was mentioned in the invitation. ?

The good thing about not knowing is that you tend to get more stuff that you need at the shower rather than all clothes!

Ok, I'll stop campaigning for not finding out now! ?lol?

My cousin did exactly this (she is due 1/24/09), she knows they're having a girl and he doesn't.  And, to top it off, all of the rest of us know what they're having...so, for their shower, anything "girl" was brought to her parents' house, and the rest went home, and she did the nursery neutral, so that he wouldn't know.

IMO, a big pain in the @ss, but it worked for her.

DH didn't want to know we with ds so I went along with it. It was actually the best surprise of our lives waiting until the day of =D I'm glad we waited.

I would find it very hard/unusual to find out the baby's sex and NOT let it slip around my husband. To me, that would be IMPOSSIBLE, lol. But, to each their own I guess

GL!

We used to be in that situation (before we were even trying, lol) but I came around & realized how much fun it would be to wait until birth to find out the sex.  Trust me, I'm very OCD about planning things so I surprised myself by agreeing to wait until birth.  However, there are lots of cute bedding sets out there that will work for both a boy and girl.  I think it's going to be a lot of fun to wait!

DH laughed at the rock paper scissors idea. He said, "we're finding out...end of story" So I lose!
