So M and I are in a debate about finding out what the sex of this baby is. With Rex we decided it was better to find out since we only had three months to plan for everything. With this one I really want it to be a surprise. M wants to find out.
I want a surprise because with Rex everything worked out find even though he came out a boy instead of a girl like they said. I see no reason to find out what we are having. We have almost all the baby stuff we need, except for a new stroller and a car seat. I don't see a need to know and think that keeping it for a surprise (as long as the baby cooperates with us) will just add to the birth experience. I remember the surprise of Rex being a boy and how fun it was to find out when he came out. It was also fun in that case because he was born the day before April Fools day and no one wanted to believe that we were telling the truth.
M doesn't really have a reason for finding out. He just wants to know. I know that it will be some extra work to get both our girl and boy baby clothes cleaned and folded and ready to go. (Yes we have both already. We didn't get rid of everything that was bought for Rex when we thought we were having a girl). But still how much work is it really to wash and fold maybe two loads of laundry?
What are your thoughts? Did you wait and be surprised or did you have to find out? Why did you choose what you chose? Have any advice one way or the other? Help us figure out this debate because neither one of us is backing down on our sides.
