Whitney, I voted yes. It makes things SO much easier. It would be really cool to be able to wait, but believe me you will not be in the mood to be taking a bunch of clothes back after having the baby. Plus the gender nutral clothes/items are just not as cute as the other clotes.
congrats on the appointment! I have varying opinions about such things, but I was too much of a control freak not to find out...too much of a decorating/name/outfit/planning freak. Now that I have one of each and the pressure's off, if we ever had three, it would be a surprise, because it didn't matter so much to me. Trust me on this one, though-known gender=more presents. in the end its all about if you want that surprise on your baby's birthday or not! It just depends on whats more important to you!
After doing it both ways (we did not find out with Jack, we did with Molly and Riah), I can honestly say that I loved not knowing better with my first. I think it's so awesome to work so hard for 9 months and go through labor for hours, then get an extra little surprise on the big day. You'll have plenty of time to buy clothes later. Your family will, too. If you are a "planner" it's hard to not know the sex. But, honestly, I think it's better to not get into that "planning" mentality too much, anyway, because all your plans end up going down the toilet. Things are never the way we expect them to be. But, to argue the other side...it was kind of fun knowing before we had our girls. It's great both ways, so you guys do what's best for YOU...don't let anyone push you one way or another. Have fun!!
hey whit-nut... hope you had an awesome b'day. brennan and i meant to call, sorry. :( just wanted to let you know that we will be in the Ham for Thanksgiving. get there wednesday (brennan gets there early that day with will) and leave probably on sunday.
whitney i was super sick with both of my kids. I always said they were going to get their first spanking on thier birthday for making me feel so bad. :) I know you feel that sometimes too! I think i vote....BOY. :)
Most importantly, I am the daughter of a King, but I am also a wife to my best friend Justin, and mommy to my precious son Hayes, born March 12, 2009. Life could not be any sweeter... most of the time. ;-)
