I am going to find out because I will need the extra time of knowing what to expect.
If you need extra time of knowing what to expect due to baby's sex, then you are in for a rude awakening as you can "expect" things to happen later in pregnancy, and the unexpected happens, same with L&D....no two stories are the same. You can read on what to expect, but reality is anything can happen.....same with after baby is born, that is full of unexpectancies. Knowing the sex is such a minute detail over what is to come.
Yes I am well aware of this, I have 2 other children and am a NILMDTS photographer. I know what can "happen". And it was a source of comfort each time knowing their gender so I could prepare to the fullest. Different strokes for different folks. But hey thanks for the history lesson; )
I'm not trying to challenge you and/or be difficult-- I'm honestly curious and don't get it, how does knowing the baby's sex allow you to prepare any more than if you didn't know? I get wanting to know just because I like to know-- so I'm not a rabid Team Green person. I just don't understand how its a "source of comfort" or "helps you prepare". You just know how the kid will pee...
I DO understand making it easier to put a name to baby and such. Knowing how my kid will pee doesn't make me feel more prepared though-- so can you explain that part? I mean, you don't have to. I just never understood this justification @corts
I really like you, you know that, but it drives me bonkers that you act confused on posts like this. Genuinely confused. Come on PrimRose, you aren't that naïve. It's more than just knowing how your LO will pee.
Okay so i'm a super planner so there was no way i wasn't going to find out. Hubby and i actually had bets going. He was dead set we were having a girl because he had a dream about her and called out her name. This is our daughter's name....i hate it when he's right. This time i'm much more torn since we wont have much to change/buy much either way. i probably will find out.
