With our first, I really wanted to know and my hubby didn't really care. With our second, he really wanted to know, while I really didn't care. And with our third, we both really wanted to know - he was convinced we were having a boy that time, so it's probably good that he had some time to get over the shock when we found out she was a girl. :) We found out all three times.

We waited with my daughter, and we are going to wait again this time. I honestly can't tell you which gender I'd prefer this time - I'm just rooting for healthy - so it's probably easier on me to let the anticipation build that way.

I wouldn't know what to do with a girl :)" Being a boy mom myself, I agree with the above comment about 'being the queen'... and my friend's 5 boys all put her on a pedestal... that being said- it's cool that all the comments and this post are basically saying that it's all good, and healthy babies are good- regardless of gender :) I agree that both ways are great- we are talking about bringing babies into the world- and that is ALL GOOD :) We have friends who have 5 boys- and didn’t find out with any of them; the mom has said to me, “I’m thrilled!

So we found out and we will have two boys!!! We are thrilled, along with our son who is four and already planning out how he is going to be the best big brother. I know some people have asked if I was dissapointed that I am not having a girl...I can be quite the girly, girl but the thought of disappointment never crossed my mind when the gender was announced. I was sooo excited when the woman conducting the ultrasound announced- "It's a Boy!" I am so happy to have two boys- I also look at it this way, I get to be the only princess in the house ;) Truthfully, either way you find out is such a beautiful experience!

I have two boys and am pregnant now and I think you make valid point about finding out in the delivery room and possibly being disappointed. (it would be nice to add a little pink to our family but I'm not counting on it...) So, you probably helped me make my decision. Thanks! : ) I’m debating this right now.

Throughout my pregnancy I was convinced I was having a boy... hearing "It's a girl!" after 23 hours of labor and an eventual c-section was the best surprise ever. We'll wait to find out again next time, as we'll know the birth date/time and everything else beforehand. Need SOME surprises to get us through life, don't we? Your story is sweet, though... you got to experience the best of both worlds! My husband and I waited to find out.

That will be two days shy of 19 weeks and they said they should be able to tell. I am so excited it is ridiculous. I just cannot wait. For me, I feel like it will be so much more real, and I'll have an excuse to buy baby clothes outside of blue, green, and yellow. :) But my lamb theme stays either way. Lambs and Classic Winnie the Pooh. I just cannot help it. Hopefully on Thursday we should find out. That will be two days shy of 19 weeks and they said they should be able to tell.
