Anyone NOT planning to try and find out your baby's gender?

[Limonada]

We didn't find out the gender with DS - and were totally happy with that decision (it really was the most amazing surprise I have ever had!) but with no. 2 we're thinking that we'd like to know - to have both types of experiences, and for practical reasons (if we're having another boy, there will be less to purchase, etc.).  I'm only 11 weeks and will go for my first u/s on July 13 and then, if all goes well, won't be having another one until the one at 18-20 weeks where they can determine the sex, providing baby cooperates, so I've got a few weeks yet to decide for sure.

Did anyone opt NOT to find out...and why?  Last time, we really felt as though we were in the minority....not that that bothered us or anything.

with all my kids i want to find out everyone of them have been correct i have 3 working on #4 at 1st dh didnt want to know but now he says he does want to know we really want a girl but will be happy either way i think its easier picking things out names clothes(which by the way its very hard finding neutral) decorating things like that i think the day is special no matter if you know or not

we decided not to find out. this is our first child. every body else wants to know so that they can buy but we were set on not finding out even though we are now finding it quite unmotivating buying cream and neutral!! i think it will make the day much more special and give us something more to look forward to!! only 13 more weeks to go though!!

With my first, I found out, but dh didn't. This time around we both want to be suprised and I am very excited to find out on this baby's birth day! It's hard waiting, but I'm sure worth it when you see your little suprise at the end. =)  If I had my way, I would probably find out again this time so if it's a girl I can prepare ahead, but at the same time, I want to be suprised.

I did find out with my first (and only) but with my second future baby I would like to wait. Im not any help to you but do what you feel is right andthe practical reasons are good!
