do you want to know or will it be a surprise?

giaM28

regarding the sex of the baby. DH and i were talking about this last night. He wants it to be a surprise. I say that because its the first id like to know so i am better prepared. when the next baby comes id like that to be a surprise.

do you want to know?

FYI: TTC countdown is 3 months away.

DH and I both definitely want to know.

We haven't decided yet. Before we were KU we said we would probably find out, but now I am on the fence.

MaxOrTori

We will be finding out - hopefully sooner than later.

DMDavidson

When I finally do get KU we'd like to know.

Incidentally, out of the 6 friends I have who've had babies this year only one of them waited for the surprise.

andrew's wifey

I want to know!

Side story:  My brother and SIL wanted a surprise for their 2nd, but my brother accidentally found out somehow.  Everyone knew that he knew, but he kept the secret the entire time!

When he and his daughter (their eldest) came out into the waiting room to tell everyone the good news, his daughter said, "We have a Seth!"  It was so cute.

When my aunt got pregnant, she wanted to know, but my uncle didn't.  So she found out and didn't tell him the sex.  Eventually, he wanted to know and she told him. 

 You guys could always get it put in an envelope and open it if you decide to!

I want it to be a surprise I learn when I'm about 18 weeks PG

I like pink way too much to not use it for a nursery if I'm having a girl.

Elaine&Matt

Team Green here.  I didn't find out with DS either.

berryblndgirl

We don't want to know.

We wanted to know and I'm glad we did.  For me it made everything seem a bit more real.  Before I knew I was just having a baby.  After I knew I was having a daughter.  It helped me mentally prepare!

I want to know but DH doesn't.  I figure that if we don't find out then I will just have to wait but if we do find out then it could really be ruining something exciting for him.  So, I agreed to not find out.

However, knowing him, he will not be able to control his curiosity and he will end up asking at the u/s.

oh no that would be torcher. thats worse than seeing christmas presents under the tree....but for 9 months.

Jessis62781

We 100% wanted to know.  K is our only one we're having so it was just something that needed to be done!

I am a planner, and I will want to know.

With my first pregnancy, we did not want to know, and I'm glad we waited.  Everything we bought was gender neutral, and has all been used again with #2.  We got tons of "boyish" stuff once he was here.  Wanting to find out the sex gave me extra motivation to push at the end of what felt like endless labor.

 With #2, we both wanted to know early.  Having had it both ways, I can see the benefits of both.  I'm really glad we waited to find out with our first, though.

We're waiting for the surprise.

Neither of us care even a little bit which sex it is - we're just excited to be having a baby. And I'm happy getting gender neutral stuff anyway so we can use it for future kids too. Plus I like it better than pink and blue. I haven't found it to be tempting or hard to not find out and have heard it can give you extra motivation when you're pushing! I just can't wait for that moment when DH tells me 'It's a....". I think it will be so worth the wait.

Bubbles1022

Right now I am on the fence.  Although I could be convinced either way.  We're both pretty impatient with surprises so I think we will cave and want to find out early.

Anna&Matt

We're planning on a surprise.

MattysGirl81

We both wanted to find out.  And it was still a surprise at the ultrasound!  I think that would be a cool moment in the delivery room to hear DH say "it's a ..." but I much prefer knowing ahead of time.

Mrs.C042807

Both.  We wanted to know.  But at our U/S baby had his/her legs crossed.

So, we're getting a surprise. 

Not much longer to wait now... thank god!

bbowie

We'll wait - we waited with DS and it was really awesome.  When he was born I was on a different planet - I snapped back when the dr referred to the baby as a he. 

 Also, DH really enjoyed going into the waiting room and announcing "It's a Boy".  We have pictures from the moment and everyone was hugging and crying - it was beautiful.

When/if the time comes, we do not want to find out. 

seniah_05

For when it happens DH could go either way - he wants to pin it on me (if you want to know we'll find out, if not we won't).  I think he just wants to see how patient I am (NOT AT ALL - I start asking to open Christmas presents at Halloween).

So I plan on stealing an idea I found around here somewhere: have the ultrasound tech write it down and put it in an envelope.  Then put it in a basket/bag/hat with other envelopes (the number of envelopes = the number of weeks remaining in the pregnancy).  Then open one envelope a week until the baby comes or the correct envelope is selected.

We are on Team Green.  I didn't want to know, and DH did, but he went along with me.  I told him that for the next one we can find out.  I can't wait for him to get to tell me what it is, and to go out and tell everyone in the waiting room.  I don't think he is even thinking about that part yet...

Lambie.

I really don't want to know.  DH does, he is awful with surprises.  I have never been able to surprise him with anything because he is nosy and can't stand waiting.  He better wait on that issue because it is important to me.
