It is our first..I kind of want to be surprised but my husband is anxious to find out. What do you think? Should we be surprised??

Don't find out!
It's one of the last real surprises we have left.

There are so few actual surprises in life. You should try holding on to this one. It helps build all the anticipation. We didn't find out, and it made baby showers and planning for the nursery all the more fun because of the challenge. Lots of green, yellow, tan, and blue. You can get away with blues for girls, but not really pinks for boys!:>)

I believe it's more fun to be surprised. You can pick out yellow and green stuff for the baby's clothes and room. We didn't find out with our daughter but my husband had a feeling that she was going to be a girl. It's funny that way.

My only advice is that if you and your husband plan to find out and not tell anyone else - then be prepared for the fact that its VERY hard once you know what it is not to talk about the baby in terms of a he or a she. We found out and within 24 hours my husband had a few beers and let it slip to half our friends.
Having said that i am so glad to have found out - i think it was suprise enough just having him and didnt think that it spoiled anything - it allows you to shop for boy or girl things and i think helps you bond.
I have a 2 week old baby boy :-)

we found out with ours and he was our first and even though we found out that he was a boy it didn't ruin the surprise because we got even more excited cause we could go into the shop and it would sink in more cause we could pick up little blue outfits and come up with baby names and tell all our family and friends what her was going to be called it was like he was already apart of my family before he was even here we would sit and have a conversation and instead of ever one saying hows the baby the could call him buy his name and u still have the surprise when u see their little face looking back at u i say its better to know

i found out and loved it then you can have the right color clothes i got enough clothing from my baby shower for the first yr of my sons life i would buy an outfit here or there if i thought it was cute but i didn;t need to and it helped alot i don;t think people would have got stuff for father along if i hadn't know the sex and then you'll wind up with tons of clothes all for the same age my son still only got to wear some of his outfits from the first bit once plus no one makes the mistake oh she is so cute and its a he and you want to rip their head off lol i would find out but keep in mind if you are border line this is the one to not find out with if you plan on having more bc it is soo much easier to know you may not hav to buy n e thing for the second if it is the same sex plus you'll have unisex clothing if it isn't

I didn't find out, either time.
And it was HARD because I had complications and ended up having non-stress tests and biophysical profiles, etc, done quite often. I had many ultrasounds, and many chances to find out. But I didn't.
I didn't want to know. I think you have all this time to imagine what your baby will be like, and knowing the sex lets you get too specific. Then what happens if the baby you imagined is nothing like the baby you get? Much better, to my mind, to not know and imagine a huge range of possibilities.

This is very personal choice, really for you and your husband, but I didn't find out and it made those last moments so exciting.. even with all of the technology available, if you don't find out the gender, it is a delicious surprise.

When I got pregnant we thought about waiting but decided to find out. The pros were that we could buy appropriate clothes for her and paint and decorate her nursery as well as i got to answer "the question" without having to explain why we're waiting. The cons were I wanted one but got the other and it due to my childhood and my hormones I was very distraught for nearly a week. I eventually got over that though and love her more than I ever thought possible. Go with your gut and congrats.

I'm expecting my fist in may and i always said i didn't want to find out the sex but on our way to the 20 week scan both me and my partner said we wanted to know it was the best thing we did were having a little boy calling him George i feel it has brought me so much closer to him and cant wait till hes here.
its also so nice buying close when you know the sex gets you more excited.
