Is anyone else hesitating about finding out the gender?

We find out the gender of our sweet baby in 9 days. I have been anxious and hesitating finding out what the baby is. With our son I knew he was a boy. I have a strong feeling this baby I'd a girl. My husband will be excited. I am nervous. Has this happened to anyone else? Was anyone else worried about what they were going to have?

We found out because my husband has always said he wanted to know, even before we conceived we argued about finding out gender. I never wanted to until I got pregnant, so I agreed. 5 mins after the ultrasound my hubby was like "now I kind of wish we didn't know"...smh. next time it will be a surprise! For him at least, if I see it on the ultrasound I will just keep it to myself. This time if I had wanted a surprise I would have been disappointed, he had his legs wide open at the 20wk scan lol.
We went gender neutral with the nursery and large expensive items, srroller, car seat etc. So non matter what we have next we can keep everything, just have to buy new clothes. I think the surprise will be worth it next time around, but I known it will be hard to wait!

I really want to know what I'm having but the feeling at the end after going through it all and finally getting to see if it was a baby boy or girl this whole time is just a great feeling :) I was so close to finding out with this one.

I literally could not do surprises. .. I hate surprises and like to have EVERYTHING planned out-- I'm a bit of a control freak... and with the frequency of my ultrasounds there is no way I couldn't not find out...
