Did anybody change their mind about finding out the

gender of the baby? We have our big u/s on Friday and I'm really hoping my Dh will change his mind and want to know what we're having once we're there. I'm keeping my eyes, toes, fingers, and legs crossed.

I will not have my big u/s until december.  I am trying to change my DH's mind as well.  He does not want to find out but I do.

You can have it so the dr tells only you the gender if you really want to know.

I havent changed my mind, even with people getting mad at me for not finding out.

The only reason hubs wants to know is so he can research shotguns...but we'll see.  We didnt find out for the first, and it was great!

LovesGreenBay

yep.  TOTALLY changed our minds in the waiting room today.  It's SO great to know!

We were planning to know all along, so that wasn't an issue.  However, if you're on the fence, why not bring along an envelope and ask the tech/doctor to write the gender down and seal it in the envelope?  That way, in case you change your mind(s) at any time during the pregnancy, you can find out!  Or bring two envelopes, one for you and one for DH, and you can each decide on your own whether to open it or not--that is, if you can keep the secret from one another!

Indeed...we changed our minds about a week before the big U/S...and Im so glad we did! I feel more connected and able to reference "him" is great!

Mine is tomorrow... mom and DH are coming, and they don't want to know. So, they'll have to leave the room while I find out!

I was never dead set on finding out, I would have been ok with not knowing, really. But my husband HAD to know or apparently, he'll die or something. And he is the worst secret keeper ever. So we're both finding out! We think maybe a later pregnancy will be a surprise, after we have tons of stuff from previous pregnancies.

DH wanted to know. I changed my mind the morning of the u/s. it was kinda an early bday present for DH, but I am not going to lie.  I am so glad we did.  It has really helped me bond more with the baby.

JasonsLyric

Thank you! I really wanna know but I can't keep a secret that big too myself. I think I will tell him that if we find out whether we are having a boy or girl we can bond with the child better;-) You ladies are the best! I also loved the envelope idea.

LandK

Good luck! 

And I totally ditto being able to bond with the baby better!  Before we knew our little guy's gender, it all seemed to abstract to me, and I just didn't feel all that connected to him.  Now that we know he's a boy and have his name chosen, I feel a much closer bond with him!

We didn't find out with DS, and it was fun.  We were going to find out with this one, but were kind of on the fence about it.  Well, we tried, and baby wasn't giving up the goods for anything, so we won't be finding out until March.

I want to, DH does and doesn't want to...so we'll see on the 17th of December how it goes! ?It will be hard to keep the secret to ourselves, so if we do find out we will probably tell everyone at Christmas.
