So every time I'm pregnant, my husband and I try to decide if we'll find out the sex of the baby before the baby is born, usually at the regular mid-pregnancy ultrasound. Most of the time one of us wants to know and the other doesn't. Though we have both known, both not known and have had one know but not told the other... (How is that for variety?)
I find out I'm not alone in this situation, that many parents feel split. Though you wouldn't guess it from the stories out there of everyone who always finds out, or at least that's the way it seems. (Kind of like all the high school kids are having sex.) So don't panic if you're having trouble deciding what's right for your family.

My husband didn’t want to know and I did. So I found out by having the tech write it down. Later I looked. I really enjoyed teasing him with the fact I knew and he didn’t. I did keep it a secret. Some people knew I knew, but were angry when I wouldn’t share, but I figured my DH should know before anyone else so no one else could know…
