Re: Anyone else torn about finding out the baby's gender?

I can't wait to find out. I found out with Jared and I'm so excited to find out with this one. I give people credit who wait until the very end...I couldn't do it.

I just like preparing for the baby, decorating the room and having everything set before he/she comes.

I'm a planner...

Totally respect what each mom wants to do but since I was determined to find out (and I had a lot of negative comments) I wanted to share MY spin on it.

My SURPRISE was meeting my son for the first time when they handed him to me. To see this little person that had been inside me for 9 months...I had dreamt of what he would look like and always thought he would be 100% my DH so I was surprised and delighted to see my own eyes staring back at me.

I loved shopping for him and preparing for him...it's totally my personality so it was a must for me.

Personally, I had no regrets about finding out the sex and will do it again when the time comes. But I do give people that wait it out a ton of credit...I am so bad with not knowing.

Could not agree with Ang more. Word for word! I needed to know ASAP!

I give major to the moms who can wait the entire time, there's no way I could do it.

We waited with #1, and found for this one. I liked waiting. It was fun to be surprised! We just needed to plan the logistics of rooms and what we could pass down so we found out for this one. One great thing about waiting is that everything I have for newborns is neutral so I can use it for #2 no matter the gender.
