Luc...We didn't find out for either of our kids. Luckily we both agreed and in actual fact - we forgot to look when our son was born until several minutes later - it just wasn't important.<br /><br />Do what you 2 want & don't feel guilty or pressured into anything by anyone else. There is no right or wrong thing to do.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809180814553643509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29620789.post-62064527160300004862012-07-10T14:52:05.473-04:002012-07-10T14:52:05.473-04:00First off- congratulations! and the best of luck, ...First off- congratulations! and the best of luck, its going to be an amazing, horrifying, fantasy of a time!<br />You must give yourself a break, you are in the throes of crazy emotions and hormones, you are making a human, a perfect human and that's hard work.<br />Sharing my (our) personal experience; we are some of the few the proud who in fact did NOT find out the sex of our child till he came out to meet us, not only do we have no regrets but we will do so with future children we might be blessed with. I always wanted to wait and my husband wanted to know. I asked him why, he told me "because thats just what you do"- since when? Personally, I was never doing a gender specific nursery I like too many color combos and modern appeal. I have lots of generous friends and family who gifted us with new and handme down items, my babe is nearly 1 and still has loads of gently used apparal to grow into. and other than a gender specfic nursery OR clothes, I cant think of a single reason one HAS to know about an "innie" or "outie". I loved the wonder of it,the mystery, the old fashioned-ness. Mostly I loved that as this tiny perfect being came sliding out of my body after months of effort and hours of hard work our midwife graciously let my husband- the first person on the planet to know the sex of our child- inform me what we had made together. Its such a beautiful moment I will never forget. and for you, perhaps since you are so hopeful for a pink flavor babe, when they lay this slimy perfect, squishy pink wiggle bug on your chest the love and emotions are so great it wont matter one bit whats between its legs, maybe that's what you need. <br />OR- you could be more like my brother in law and need time to connect or come to gripes with the situation, he was pretty removed from my sisters pregnancy until they found out "it" was a "HIM" (and second time around a "HER"), making "it" a person and not just a theory. <br />Dont know if I was helpful but I sure hope you happily come to a decision!each of the twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407616096825874918noreply@blogger.com
