I think my biggest worry and this sounds horrid so pls don't judge is I didn't want to be pregnant in the first place, we were trying to prevent it and it took until prob 12 weeks for me to be ok with it. We just have so much going on. And as much as I will love and adore a girl OR boy....I'm seriously hoping for a girl, the girl I've always wanted. I'm scared if its a boy I will be sad or become depressed.....gosh reading this I really sound like a piece of work......  ;(

I think you should find out tomorrow, just because if it is a boy and you become depressed, you'll have time to handle it before he gets here, and if it's a girl you'll be super duper happy :)

I agree I think I "need" to know, everyone keeps saying its a girl cuz I'm over the top emotional....even though I try to keep a level head abt it I find myself hoping they are right. But even when I try to convince myself it's a boy, I feel that I can't. I'm so frustrated cuz truthfully baby will be loved endlessly regardless of gender.

I know I will love baby either way, I just want a girl terribly. I worry if I wait till birth and its a boy ill get depressed. I don't know if this makes sense... It's just my final shot for a girl....

You could always ask the U/S tech to write the gender on a piece of paper & have it sealed into an envelope for you to open if you decided to read it afterwards??? And i recently found out i was expecting my 3rd boy and although i wanted to have a girl at first, i am super excited to be having another baby boy.. i think either way you'll be shocked and happy..
