1) Will you find out the gender next time around?  Why/why not?
2) Did you find out the gender before?

Just curious.

    1) I'm leaning towards not finding out...for that element of surprise.
    2) Yes...DH insisted on it! I could've gone either way (I think).

    1) Will you find out the gender next time around? Why/why not? Yes - I'm planner and the suspense would kill me. I really respect people who can wait!
    2) Did you find out the gender before? Yep - both times!

    1. We will so we can name him/her and Garrett can start bonding with the baby as much as possible.
    2. We did. I couldn't handle the suspense.

    If this baby is a girl and we have one of each, and if we decide we want three, #3 will be a surprise.

    1. Yes we will find out. We can't stand not knowing.

    2. Yes we found out.

    UC- my BIL and SIL did the same thing with #3. They had a boy and girl, so they didn't find out.

    I don't know the sex, but my husband does. He couldn't stand not knowing and I respect that, as he respects my not wanting to know. I don't want to find out because this is my last baby and I don't want an ounce of disappointment. I know when I see the baby I will be thrilled regaurdless of the sex.
    2) Did you find out the gender before? Yes, the second I could find out I did!

    1. No because it was so amazing to not know, and it really wasn't that hard once you got past the u/s. 2. Yes with my first and no with my second. I highly recommend not finding out on one. It was so great. Only dh was in the room, and I had him go get dd and she got to be the first to see what #2 was (besides us of course). Then we let her announce it to our family in the waiting room. It was an amazing moment.

    1) I will. Basically b/c I have the willpower of a 4th grader.

    2) I did with B. Also I am a planner, and strongly dislike green and yellow, so there ya go. I am a pink or blue gal.

    1) I'm dancing around the idea of not finding out just to change up the experience.  But DH won't be able to find out if he's getting his boy or not.
    2) Yes!

    1 - No we won't. 

    2 - No we didn't.

    My husband really wanted to go into the waiting room and announce "It's a....".  I saw pictures of that moment and they were priceless. 

    It's also a lot of fun to find out the moment they are born.  =)

    1.  Some part of me would love to wait and have it be a surprise, but then I am a planner and want to know if I need pink or blue stuff.  I might just go half way and have the tech write what it is in an envelope and then open it at a party/shower.

    2. Yes.

    1.  Not sure, but probably.  I think after finding out with the boys, I won't have any will power to wait.

    2.  I did, but if it was a singleton, I wasn't going to.  But with 2, I had to know to plan in advance!!

    1) noop, it's fun not knowing, it drives everyone crazy...hahaha our families respect our choice, although they don't get it... we just tell them "you guys didn't know,why should we?" and i love the idea of DH going to the waiting room and making the announcement.

    2) well it's our first and 33weeks and we still don't know!!!
    it really helps you not to impluse buy on all the cute baby items!

    We found out with both. If we have a 3rd (why am I even talking about #3 right now?) I might not find out.

    ) Will you find out the gender next time around? Why/why not? NO!!! I would really love to be suprised, if we can wait.
    2) Did you find out the gender before? We did, even though I "knew" it was a girl. It was nice to know the first time around, but 2nd and any subsequent should be a suprise!
