If your husband wants it to be a surprise and you are okay with it either way, I would grant your husband’s wishes and let it be a surprise.

I think knowing makes life alittle easier. If you know what you are having, you can buy things for it better. Picking the perfect name without having to worry about making a list for both genders. And for me, for example, I have 2 girls, I want to know what I’m having because if I’m having a boy, I have to start all over with clothes, toys, etc. Obviously I’m not going to put a little boy in pinks and flowers.

I found out, as it is REALLY hard to buy thinks that are genuinely nuetral. There’s not much out there and I wanted to be able to recover and enjoy my baby for the first few weeks, not worrieds about getting to the store to buy clothes and bedding ect ect.

like the 1st poster said, it’s very personal.
I found out for the first two b/c I wanted to be able to prepare (boy and girl themed clothes and bedding). Now that I have one of each, I’m going to go for the surprise. One of my sister’s never finds out, my other found out and named her kids before they were born and I thought that was kind of wierd. I have a friend who had the doctor mail it to her mother, who told her mother-in-law, so they knew but the parents didn’t!

Thanks everyone. Getting everything like clothes will be the hardest part. But i plan on using yellow and greens in his or her nursery so that is gender neutral. I think we will narrow names down to 2 boy names and 2 girl names and pick when he or she is born. Did any of you think you knew what your baby was before he or she was born?

With my first daughter, I just knew I was having a girl. My second pregnancy was so different, so I thought I was having a boy, nope, another girl. This pregnancy is different then the others, so I’m completely confused. I’m actually hoping for another girl. :-)

Yes, I "knew" he was a boy before the untrasound. But that may have just been me protecting myself, as I was hoping for a girl.

family wants to know so they can buy things for the baby it is a huge help if daddy wants to wait just keep it from him if you think its a boy women always know i am sure your right
We both thought it was a girl, but it was a boy! As for clothes and things. I was itching to get out of the house by week to of maternity leave and did a lot of clothes shopping and it gave me the excuse to go out and people also give you a ton. gl!

I’ve been toying with the idea of letting the grandparents know and not finding out (dh and I) until birth. That way the grandmas can suprise us with the nursery done/clothes.

I really think it is a boy but either way im happy. This is our first child. I think my family expects us to tell them because my sisters told them when they were pregnant. But my husband thinks its cute to find out when its born.
Our girl name is Anderlyn Adele Johnston and boy name is Anderson Myles Johnston.
what do you think?

Anderlyn is a little to different for my taste but Anderson Myles is nice. Is Anderson a family name and is that what you are trying to go for with Anderlyn?

Dont worry about your family. They will be fine about your decision. We found out about the 1st two because I like to plan. This last one we were going to wait, but our oldest was SURE of what it was, so we had to find out just in case she needed months of preparation for the opposite. I "knew/guessed" each correctly before the ultrasound. Either way, it’s a "surprise" at 20 weeks or 40 weeks. Have fun with it!

we chose to find out. I’m not a patient person, ha! Plus there was going to be so much going on the day I gave brith that I didn’t want any more surprises. Plus I liked to be able to refer to my baby by her name for the second half of my pregnancy.
