Sometimes they will not tell you for sure, just in case they might be wrong and sometimes they like to cross their legs and say surprise. It is really up to you though, I think. I did not want to know until I got so big that I just hoped that my 1st was a boy and sure enough it was a 10 lb 2oz baby boy I just did a unisex old fashioned kind of country situation and a little antiquish as my hubby made the cradle for me and the crib and the other stuff was second hand that we got and re-done it all with some antiquing and we had a lot of different things around. It all went together pretty good even when I had my daughter a little over a year later.
Good luck!

I *definitely* want to know when .I got for my ultrasound on .Monday.. I'm saving the surprises (maybe) for when .I have my last child. Plus .I'm super impatient &anxious. I just wanna get all my shopping done, &.I'm not a big fan of a lot of the unisex stuff they have, now. There's hardly any selection at all. Everything is pretty much gender orientated.

You can do it this way. You don't have to wait for your answer, but it can still be a surprise for the two of you (or the whole family if you want to include them on the event). When I use to work at babies "r" us, I had this one couple come up to the register holding a gift bag with wrappin tissue (uni-sex colors), and envelope, and a one blue and one pink pair of booties. They gave me the cash and told me that they're gonna step away from the register while I open the envelope (that was closed and given to them by their doctor). I was suppose to see if the card in the envelope said girl or boy and pick the appropriate color and put it in the gift bag and top it with wrappin tissue (it made me feel so special to be the first one to know what they're having I couldn't stop smiling at them). They were going to a romantic dinner together that night to a fine restaurant, and open the bag together to find out what they're having. I though that was the most *a*w*e*s*o*m*e idea I have ever heard of. I'm gonna do that with my husband when we have our baby. We might do it at a baby shower though instead of alone, depends if anyone will throw us a shower.

So you can do that if you want, if you think it's a good idea to do it that way. It's still gonna be a surprise, but you won't have to wait that long to find out. I love surprises!!!

Let me know if you decided to use my idea or not. I would love to hear your reaction (or rather read your reaction) that you guys had.

Good luck with everything - and god bless!!!

I'm sure no matter what sex it is, it's gonna be the most beautiful baby ever!

=)

Hey there! I think the last girl before me had a really cute idea. Personally, I couldn't wait out the rest of my pregnancy to find out what I was having. My boyfriend & I were both hoping for a girl so we found out at my 20 wk ultrasound that we were infact having a little girlie . It would be soo much fun to wait and see until the baby was born, but I just couldn't do it lol. Good luck with your decision and I think you should keep it a surprise *if* you think you can wait that long! Good luck and I hope you have a safe & healthy pregnancy .

oooooooooh I like that idea!! Too late for me to use tho lol

I'd definately find out, cant wait that long lol

I'ld get the dr to write it down, put it in an envelope, and then you don't have to find out the sex, but the envelope is around incase you change your mind. This is what I was going to do, except I was going to save it until the father was around so we could find out at the same time. I started to care less about him and just went and found out on my own at my ultrasound. I might have a surprise with one of my future kids, but I find shopping for the first just too exciting to restrict to uni-sex clothes.

I wanted to find out the sex of my last baby but my hubby said he didn't want to, so we didn't that was the best decision I made it was so good to have your baby then the doc or parter say it's a girl or boy.

Everyone always says "we wanna be surprised" well sure, me too I just wanted to be surprised early at my u/s!!! Lol

Yeah, i'm a have to know kind of person lol

We *had* to know!

But we were both 100% sure we were having a boy. I kept telling everyone that I just knew it was a boy! Mother's intuition and all that. Both sets of our parents had their hearts set on a little girl (we have soooo many boys in the family) and I kept wondering how I was going to break it to them that this one was a boy.

So when the ultrasound technician told us we were having a girl, I started crying (i really wanted a girl! Yay!) and my husband was in shock and kept asking her if she was sure. So she started pointing at the labia, etc and there ya go.

It's a good thing we found out, because we would have gotten everything in blue had we waited. And I love my little girl being drowned in pink.

hehehe it was the same way for me and my hubby. I secretly wanted a girl, but I had convinced myself it was a boy! So thankfully, at my third ultrasound, the tech told us it was a girl! And I was in so much shock she had to keep pointing to the girl parts (my little lady had her legs wide open for the whole world to see so it was really obvious

Lmao that's how .Aly was too. She was damn near spread-eagle! I kept showing that picture to everyone saying "and here's her playboy centerfold..."

Hehehe that is so cute they told me brianne's legs are super long (2 weeks ahead) and now I keep saying she's my little supermodel
