    I will find out, but I'm way too early. I have another 13 weeks to go before I can find out.

    We're not going to find out. We've only had one person get all ZOMGWHYNOT!!!??!! about it. She spent five minutes telling me finding out was a completely safe, and non-invasive procedure. <eyeroll>

    We caught a lot of hell for not finding out.  I would do it the same way, all over again.  It was so cool to hear the doc say, "It's a _____!" and no one know beforehand.

    Due (approx) Dec 16th. 

    We're not finding out - I want to be surprised, and if the Dr. tells DH, I'm sure we'll have a "Knocked Up" moment ("By the way, it's a girl, buy some pink sh!t") and he'll end up telling me. DH is fine with not knowing. 

    We aren't telling the family until I'm further along (at least not until 5/11- 8w5d - when I have my Dr. appt. - but likely not until Memorial Day weekend if my parents are visiting) - but I've already told SILs that we're not finding out the sex when we have kids, and they were all "OMGWTFBBQ?!" about it.

    I let the Mr. win on the 'find out/don't find out' discussion...
    it has changed the offspring's nickname to 'Buffy' :-)

    I still would have preferred not to know, but, I'm OK w/ it--makes it a bit more real I guees.  Or maybe that would jsut be the kicking :-)

    I like not knowing. I don't know why people get so wigged out about it. Babies don't care about nursery themes.

    Whatev. I was so glad we found out.  Not necessarily for nursery themes (though I had a FABULOUS girl nursery in my head for DB2). 

    But I was really shocked both times, and it took me a little while to figure out that, yes, I'd be able to figure out what to do with a boy.  I'm glad I didn't have to be figuring that out while I was also figuring out how to feed/clothe/diaper him while dealing with my own physical recovery and general exhaustion.

    I guess if you don't find out, you have a different mindset around birthin' time, but I don't regret finding out one bit. :)

    our nursery is still blue and brown...Buffy will deal.
    And, once she's old enough to voice a preference?  it's only paint.
    Paint that took us over 24 hours (not 24 hours straight, I'm talking about the amount of work it took to get on the walls...8 hours of painting spread over 3 days) to put up so I'll be pissed when she decides she hates it :-P

    That's a valid reason for finding out. I didn't think about it that way. Mostly because the first thing on most people's mind when you say you're not finding out is, "How will you know what color clothes to buy!?!!ELEVENTY?WTFBBQ"

    <div>i guess i figure that other than the circumcision and a minor adjustment in diapering that the sex doesn't "matter" as much when the kid is an infant. I think you would do the same basic things with a boy or girl at that age. </div>

    CW - mine was calculated as December 9th also. The days have varied (6 weeks + x amount of days) so it's around there.

    (Edit:) We plan to find out the sex of the baby.

    I liked finding out because I'm a planner. It was nice knowing we were having a boy, because SIL handed down all her boy stuff (and shut if you gender neutral freaks...if I had a daughter there was no way I was dressing her in a shirt that said "Daddy's Little Man").

    Had DH not wanted to find out though...I would have been okay with that.

    My next appt is May 7, it will be too early then so we'll find out on the next one, probably June 4.

    Autumn is convinced it's a boy. Both my sister and SIL have dreams that it's a boy. Please to be keeping my uterus out of your dreams.

    I couldn't not find out.  I'm a planner and it would have drove me insane.

    However, I spent the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy thinking "OMG WHAT IF THEY WERE WRONG?"

    <div>It doesn't, but we all have preferences. I wanted a boy; it took me a while to be able to feel I could raise a girl without turning her into a damaged sniveling mess, mostly because of my issues with my mother, not because of anything baby-related. I was glad I found out because of that. </div>
