Gender?

How many of you plan on finding out the gender of your baby this pregnancy? I found out with my son but this time I really want it to be a surprise. However, my husband really wants to know so we are kind of going back and forth on the issue. Pro's and Con's of keeping it a surprise?

I am planning on not finding out what this baby is until birth. I have always been set in the idea that I didn't want to know. With my due date being Dec. 21 it is close enough to Christmas that I want it to be a surprise. I view it the same as any kind of present, don't want to peek until it's time.

Yeah we have a boy and everyone is really hoping for a girl this time, though if it's a boy we won't need to buy much and that's nice :)

We're hoping to find out... I love the nesting part during pregnancy and knowing the gender makes that part so much fun.  I think that's how i keep busy during the last few months.... plus we have a son and my family already have 5 grandsons, so if it's a boy we won't need much , but if its a girl we will.

Yeah, I really want to be surprised but the only thing that's making me hesitate is that I am attempting a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section) and if I end up having to get an emergency c-section I would be very bitter about everyone else finding out the gender before me (because I'd be put under for the surgery).
