Finding out the sex?

Spoiler alert: Its a boy. But you'll already know this from the preceding blog post!

There's always a difference in opinion when it comes to finding out the sex of the baby. Should you wait and get a surprise? Or should you find out, and prepare appropriately for the baby boy or girl that you're expecting.

We chose to find out. I wasn't too bothered either way, i think with us Dad's, we're happy with both options. But i find with mums to be, there are two possible outcomes. The first, is that there is no way they are finding out, they've had this opinion since they first thought about falling pregnant, they wanted a surprise, and if they can't know, then nobody can!
Whereas the second option, is the path my lady decided to take. The one where they will find out, at any cost. To be fair I never said this to her, but after past experiences (Never hint at proposing, otherwise they won't stop nagging till you do!) I decided to go along with her on this one, lifes too short!

This reminds me of the Episode in 'Friends' when Rachel and Ross are expecting, Ross is so paranoid that Rachel knows, he finds out himself and ends up spilling the beans!

At the end of the day though, I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do it, its just whats best for you.
Though one thing I will say is that since we found out the sex, I feel so much closer to our son. We can call him by 'he' or 'him' instead of 'it'. Also, we've got to choose a name, which makes talking to him feel so much more personal.
