I think that's why we're thinking about not finding out for baby#2, since we did find out for baby#1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35559 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 18:10:24 +0000 L2sweetpea 35559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't find out, and I would do it again; however, for our 2nd we probably will find out so we can experience it both ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35553 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:52:40 +0000 MsMamaBear 35553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: Me either! What's SO dire it can't wait til after he/she is born? They gonna run out of pink or blue clothes?</p> <p>LOL Let me stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35541 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:41:41 +0000 cupcakemama 35541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't find out until LO was born. If we have another one we will do exactly the same again. It was such a wonderful moment when we did find out, there is no way we would deprive ourselves of that!</p> <p>I don't get the "you can plan" reason for finding out. What needs to be planned ?? It's not really a hardship having to paint the nursery walls in a neutral color. You'll get plenty of gender specific clothing after baby is born. I just don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35534 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:29:14 +0000 MsMamaBear 35534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't find out and I'd love to not find out for baby #2. It was quite fun for me! Everyone was annoyed as well, more fun! Loved that part! I also inspired others to do it, because around here, no one does it.</p> <p>As far as planning, totally did it. But then I can pretty much plan anything. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35530 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:11:22 +0000 heffalump 35530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out for our first, but won't for our second. I wanted to and my husband didn't, so next time he gets his way. I'm glad we found out for our first (love pink and we had a girl so we were able to have lots of pink ) but I'm excited to go team green next time. Mostly for the surprise ...but I'm also glad I won't have to worry that they told me the wrong sex! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35481 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:21:51 +0000 banana 35481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thehistoryofus:How exciting! Glad to know that you would do it all over again. We're leaning more towards not finding out the gender but then I hear about how much easier it is to prepare knowing the gender and it makes us second guess our decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35474 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:15:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 35474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose to wait and we would do it all over again! </p> <p>It was our first and we really wanted to wait to find out. We loved getting to know the baby as a peanut in the belly and letting her show us her personality on the outside! It also was nice not to get a ton of clothes or pink/blue stuff at the showers. We have a ton of stuff we can use again later and she still has plenty of pink stuff to show shes a girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-find-out-the-gender-until-after-the-baby-was-born#post-35466 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 16:11:33 +0000 banana 35466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I already have one boy and now we're expecting baby #2. We were kind of debating whether or not we want to find out the gender of the baby. I see pros and cons to both. But I think it would be so fun to find out the gender after the baby is born. What a fun surprise that would be! </p> <p>Did you and your SO decide to find out the gender before birth? </p> <p>For those of you who chose to wait, would you do it all over again? </p>
