Did anyone find out once and have a surprise once?
I dont konw if Im in the "Its a surprise no matter when you find out camp" or not.
Anyway I found out with K and raym and then again with scott since I didnt have any of ks clothes left and would have had to sell all of rayms for new clothes if it was a girl. This time I dont have anything anyway so Im debating team green. Talk me into it.
With Braydon we didn't find out. It was wonderful to get to hear, "It's a boy!" vs me asking, "Is it still a girl?" With Kaylin we found out because I wanted to. With Carter I was fine not knowing, but surprisingly, it was Mark who needed to know so he could wrap his head around #3.
If you've always found out, then I'd say the surprise is well worth it!! (Especially because you've already got your boys and a girl so your prepared either way.)
We didn't find out with either, though our surprises got ruined by idiots medical professionals at the end both times. (people assume you know, I think) That irritated me, but I would go for the surprise again in a heartbeat. I think it is very fun to wait it out, and while I am very impatient with others about the genders of their babies, I don't seem to mind waiting as much with my own.
I have been getting rid of everything anyway because we don't have room to store stuff anymore, so we have to re-buy if we have another and it turns out to be a third girl, so I would not be tempted for that reason.
IDK-I think you either want to know or you don't. I don't have a lot of good reasons to wait, but I think it is fun to do so. I kinda like the suspense of it all.
we did not find out with DS1 but did with the next two. We didn't want to wait! If I were to have another I would have to find out - I have no patience for waiting and I like to be fully prepared!
we found out with the others, but not with this one.
i am not the surprise me type AT ALL, but dh begged all three times to not find out and he finally won.
it has actually been really fun and i am surprised at how patient i am being! i kind of like the idea of our families waiting by their phones to find out gender and name...where as before it was like, ya we know its a boy and you are naming him connor, etc... the only thing left to share was the time of birth and weight, which nobody really cares about anyways:)
Tracy it's funny you're thinking of not finding out because I am too. I knew with both boys and given everything is totally different now in my life I think it might be fun to wait. I'm not fully decided and it will depend on what Joe wants to do too.
I have NOTHING left aside from a small bin of my fave clothes so I will need to totally start over and that's the only thing holding me back. Having two boys already if it is a girl then I want everything to be girly and not gender neutral.
I don't think I will definitely be able to decide until I get to the point where I can find out and go from there.
I say wait! You've got both genders already, no reason to find out other than your own curiousity! I think you'll be way more excited when the big day comes too! How fun!

Oh you can pretty much stfu right now.
You're totally finding out, because I will die if I do not know.
Is that something you want on your conscience?!?
Tracy, I love the *idea* of waiting... I don't think I could ever avoid the temptation, but I applaud those who can. You guys all pretty much kill me in suspense when I have to wait, but I think Corey's point is really cool about everyone really waiting in suspense until the big day. (That said, I still couldn't do it, and I forbid LL from doing it either, lmao.)
We waited with all 3 girls and I am so glad we did. It was really hard with Lily because I had to have NST done 2x a week and 2 US a week for 25 weeks but we didn't find out.
It is true that the medical staff assume you know so we reminded each person along the way every.single.time and they finally flagged the file so no one blew the surprise.
At delivery the doctors never said "It's a girl!" like they do in the movies- again cause they assumed we already knew. It was nice having Sam tell me each time (though the doctors did look at me like I was nuts for forgetting )
It was so much fun calling family and telling them the "big" news- time and size just seemed like not enough to us.

LMFAO
The first conversation with Joey about we were def not finding out. Then when I mentioned it again he said "you know I'm not sure I can wait" We have like 12 weeks to decide but it's probably a safe bet that we will know.
We didn't find out with Charlie (our hospital won't tell you unless you have to go for special u/s). As hard as it was not to know, I loved the guessing and the analysing every little thing. It was so fun! And seriously, people so excited to find out when the baby arrives.
We did find out with Josie and while I really wanted to, the second they told us, I wished I hadn't found out.
