Are you going to find out the gender?

We didn't find out with Max. I am undecided as to whether we find out with this one, but I am leaning towards yes. In case this is our last I want to have both experiences.

What y'all doin'?

Re: Are you going to find out the gender?

  • I want to find out.

    I'm not big into "gender neutral" clothing, crib bedding, etc. Plus, I am just waay too impatient to wait!

  • I want to because i don't want everything I get from my baby shower gender neutral. Also, just because I don't think I could hold out that long.

  • Yes, we are definitely finding out. I also am not a huge fan of everything being gender neutral but mostly because I am impatient Smile

  • I haven't decided.  We found out with DD, but I kind of want to wait this time.  DH would like to find out again.  I really can't decide. 

    The major stuff we bought for DD was neutral and we didn't get bedding last time (personally I think it's a waste of money).  We just got a breathable, pink bumper and sheets.  New baby will be in the pack & play in our room for a few months so there's no rush on a new bumper if it's a boy. 

    So to answer your question...I have no idea!  Ask me again in February!  :)

  • Definitely. We can not wait to know what the baby is. Plus I wouldn't be able to stand the waiting:)
  • We're gonna try not to find out. I think it's a little anti-climactic to know the gender and name of a baby before he/she is born.

    Plus - this is a dumb reason :) - my hubby's brother and his wife had a baby almost a year ago whom they knew was going to be a boy. My MIL threw a big shower for them, and they got everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, with the Ohio State logo on it! I don't want that!! I would rather get gender neutral, not-themed stuff that we can use for all of our children, then buy a few special gender-specific things after the baby is born.

  • I think we are going to find out. This is our first and I am really excited to find out what it is so I am more prepared and know what to buy. Initially, I wanted to wait, but MH said that there is no way he could do that. I think I would like it to be a surprise with my second.

    I'm the exact opposite. Big Smile I'd rather not find out and I like gender neutral decor, clothes, etc. However...MH wants to find out so that's probably what we'll do.

  • Definitely....we are going to have a sex party with the fam when everyone finds out together.  I'm a planner by nature and there is NO way I couldn't find out!!

  • I'm way too impatient to wait, so we're definitely finding out! The way my doctor talked last week, it should be sometime in February when we get to find out! I can't wait!

    Honestly... best moment of my life! There was about 8 extra people in our room because the nurses love when you don't know. They all screamed "IT'S A BOY!" I am sure the entire hospital heard. It was amazing!

    You would never know I hadn't found out beforehand. We picked Winnie the Pooh for the nursery so as far as decor went it didn't matter. And our families and friends brought us TONS of clothes when he was born. They live in sleepers the first 3 months.

  • We think we'll find out, but probably will keep it as our secret. 
  • My whole life I always said I didnt want to know until the birth.... now that I'm preg I'm dying to know!   We'll see what we decide at 20 wks...

    We are still doing the nursery gender neutral mainly because we'll be moving in a few years and I'd kind of like to keep the house in "sellable" condition then paint some bright color then be rushing to change when I have toddler(s) running around.  Once we know (before or after) we can always add the girly or boyish touches...

     

    I can't believe I want to know when I swore forever I didn't!!

  • I would like to find out. I want to know everything. I figure seeing/meeting my child the first time will be very special regardless.

  • Yes. I had a hard enough time bonding with DS in utero as it was. I need the knowledge.

  • We are finding out as well! I want lots of pink or lots of blue!! I'm so impatient!
  • We might change our minds, but so far I think we'll find out.  DH says he doesn't like surprises and I think knowing the gender will help him bond with the baby in utero.

    We can't really do much with the walls of the nursery since we rent.  Our lease runs out in June (great timing!).   We won't know if we're re-signing until we get new orders in the next few months. Even though it would be a royal pain, I'm hoping we get orders out of Louisiana.




  • We don't know yet.  My gut feeling is that we will...I'm just undecided on if we'll keep it our secret or not.  Mostly because I'd rather our baby necessities be neutral so they could be used with future kids regardless of gender.  If we do tell the registry will be as neutral as I can get it.

  • We are not finding out! We didn't with DD and LOVED the moment when they said It's A GIRL!!!  It made all the wait worth it!  Plus, we wanted everything to be gender neutral anyways b/c we wanted more then one child.  We got lots of cute outfits in the mail after wards so I wasn't worried about clothes.  LO will be in a bassinet in our room for a few months again so we will have time to do any additional decorating.  Last time I ordered my crib bedding the day after we got home and got it two days later so I will do that again if it's a boy!  We loved the surprise!!!
  • I am, because I am a serious control freak and I cant handle the unknown.  I had nightmares about my upcoming wedding day not because I was nervous, but because I was worried things wouldnt go according to plan.

    I feel the same way about this.. I need to know everything and be prepared and have everything bought, etc.  The idea of going shopping with a little baby to get gender specific things I dont have already like bedding, clothing etc freaks me out.   

  • Oh yeah we will be! I don't think I could make it that long not knowing!

  • We found out with DD and will find out again with this LO. I'm not good at waiting, and it gives me something to do while I'm pregnant.... shopping for blue or pink clothes!!!  
  • I'm finding out the SECOND I can.  I'm very anxious!

  • Yes. I'm very Type A and a huge planner so I just think it will make everything that much easier. Although I want a gender-neutral nursery anyway. I think I mostly want to find out, because I would love to have a boy first (though especially since we had trouble TTC, I'd be so grateful for a healthy baby of any gender). If we find out during the pregnancy, there will be no twinge of disappointment right after the birth. I want that moment to be incredible and only filled with happiness. But again, I wouldn't really complain either way!!

  • We are definitely finding out too. When I first asked DH how he felt about it he looked at me like I had two heads, how could we NOT find out?! Luckily I don't think I could wait myself anyway so we're finding out as soon as we can.

    This is me. Exactly me. Stick out tongue I feel like if I could know now, I would.

  • We found out with DD at 13 weeks and I'm likely to badger the technician this go around ...just to see if I have to buy blue dye for everything pink in our house...

  • We found with DD but I still bought all gender neutral big things. But did things like accented the nursery with pink, bought girl clothes, and stuffed animals. I am a planner and I could not have waited hehe. This time around we will find out again right about DH's birthday.

  • We will find out.  We did with DS and I don't regret it.  I also don't think I could wait that long.  I'm just a tad too impatient with things like that.
