I am dying to know the gender and I can get an elective scan next week at 16 weeks. DH has a crazy schedule and we can't find a date that works for us. He thinks I should go alone and tell him in a creative way when he gets home from work. I'm trying to decide if we should just wait for our official gender scan on 12/10 and find out together or find out early!

DH thinks the gender news might cheer up my mom at Thanksgiving...she has been really sad lately. (One of her best friends died under horrible circumstances last month.)

Ahhh...what would you do?
