It seems as though it is the done thing these days, but I am wondering whether I will have an overwhelming surge of disappointment that I know if I do find out.
If I find out, I have no intention of sharing this very precious and vital piece of information with anyone but then I wonder if I will let it slip!
Such a huge dilemma I know, but I am guessing if this is all I have to worry about things are good!
I am totally eyeing off these gorgeous little numbers by RubyRoadAustralia, but as you can see they are quite gender specific. Maybe this is my motivation for wanting to find out.....
Did you find out? Were there any advantages/disadvantages?
I am mum to two gorgeous boys Nate & Hamish and wife to the just as gorgeous and very patient Mitch! We live in Brisbane, Queensland. I spend my days running around after my boys and playing with all things paper. I love ALL things craft and spend too much time scouring Etsy, Made It and too many blogs to list, all in the name of research - of course!!

Hi Congrats
i didn't find out with my first 2 but did with my third and regreted finding out not because i was dissapointed with what we were having even though we were suprised as we thought we were having a boy and had a girl.But i had a sense of sadness that i found out. and then there is the nagging from family members that bugged and bugged...but we never let slip.well this was my experience and now we have a beautiful 7mth old (we have 3 girls)
We did not want to know with mr T. But the sonographer let it slip. We were ok with it as we kept it a secrete the best we could. We only told my Inlaws as having a boy ment more to them than any else in the world. That scan also ruled out a condition DH was born with. So it was an very joyous occassion and still remember sitting at Auchenflower station making that call to them.
But it was incredible hard keeping from others. VERY hard especially seeing my sister who was pregnant at the time knew what she was having.
We sort of found out by accident - We had decided that we did not want to know and the US technician confirmed that when we walked in - but as she went through the scan naming all the body parts - then as she was done - hubby pointed to the screen and asked 'What's that' - and she said 'Ummm...' - so then we knew...
We thought it was so funny - that they are prepared to NOT tell you - but they are not prepared to lie to you...
..it wound up being ok that we knew - we went ahead and picked a name and got boy clothes and even a boy cake at the shower...
Congratulations and best wishes!
I found out with my first but not my second. I felt that with her being a second, I really wanted that 'rewarding moment' knowing how hard the labour would be- does that make sense?
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog post the other day, I was quite overwhelmed by the lovely responses I received.
