Re: Waiting to find out sex....

we are waiting. I am due fairly soon 2/2, but it has been HARD on me.

I soooooooooooo want to know.

I only waited because my DH wanted to.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

Personally I think its hard enough waiting till 20 weeks to find out. We found out but didn't tell anyone else though.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We waited to find out the sex. It was fun to have people guess what we were having. I don't think it was that hard to wait.

I ended up with a c-section and DH was the one who told me we had a boy. It was such an amazing and emotional moment. It was a wonderful surprise and I'm really glad we waited.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We're Waiting

I honestly don't find it hard at all.....it's just adding to the excitement of my upcoming due date!! I can not wait to hear the doc say "Its a Boy" or "Its a Girl!" Just thinking about it will sometimes bring tears to my eyes!! So freakin exciting!!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

Wow! Congrats to you ladies! You make waiting to find out sound so great!

Have you picked your names yet??

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We're waiting


Not really that hard for me, because it honestly doesn't matter to me...I feel like newborns are all the same to me (boy or girl)

That's just me though

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We're waiting and it's not hard at all!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We didn't with our first and we won't with this one either. I loved not knowing - it wasn't hard for me at all. Toward the end I had moments of "what IS it??" but nothing that would make me change it for the 2nd time.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We are waiting. I am due 2/7 though and the hardest for me has been the last month or so because I have been wanting to buy stuff!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

i wanted to wait - originally....but then it got to me and i NEEDED to know!

give it a shot!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We are waiting. It is hard but, really not as hard as I thought. Maybe it will get worse in the first trimester. But, honestly I think it curbs my spending!!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We are waiting to find out the sex. I am 19 weeks and I haven't found it hard at all. It actually makes me more excited for the moment of delivery because I will really want to know then.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We're waiting because DH really wants to. I could go either way. So far I am not dying to find out- but i'm only 8 weeks so...we'll see how I am in another 12 weeks!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

I had wanted to find out for practical reasons...but DH really wanted to have this be a suprise and a moment that we could share so I agreed.

Now it has been so much fun not knowing! Everyone tries to guess and so far its 50/50 so who knows!
Not even our dr or sono tech knows because every sonogram the baby hasnt "shown" anything!

My gut says Boy but it goes back and forth. We have a boys name agreed on and 2 girls names we both like.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We are waiting. I don't think it's really that difficult. I think it was harder leading up to the 20 week sono when we knew we could find out. Now that we are at week 26...we are just excited to have whatever comes our way.

ETA it definitely has saved us a TON of money. I haven't shopped but for one outfit and that's the coming home outfit that I love and will work for either or .

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

1st time found out b/c I thought it would be too hard.. but now with baby #2 we didnt find out.. not hard at all. But it may be that im soo busy with my toddler i dont have time to think about it.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

We are waiting. I am due 2/1 but having the baby on Monday. It wasn't sooo hard until the last few weeks, but I still think it is the best part of the pregnancy. What a reward! What a gift! It's truly life's only real surprise I think. I really have NO idea what I am having.

AND I have saved TONS of $$ not buying every pink or blue thing I see that I think is cute.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

One more thing: the excitement and anticipation of the birth is so different when you do not know the sex. Everyone of my friends and family is SOOOO excited to find out what it is. I think when you know the sex, it's kinda like, okay, HE or SHE is here...it's expected. This way it is just sooo exciting!

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

I waited with dd and it really wasn't as hard to not find out as i thought it would be..i liked the guessing and mystery of it, next pregnancy we wont find out either.

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

I am waiting this time. I found out with my first and this time I want the experience of not knowing and having the big surprise on delivery day

Re: Waiting to find out sex....

I always thought I would wait but with the first boy I found out because it was just obvious- after having 4 boys I just need to know! Maybe if I would have had a mixed bunch I would have waited.
