To know or not to know gender

Susan

Hello all!

I'm 13 weeks along. This is my first baby, my hubby's second (he has an 11 year old boy from first marriage.) I adamantly wanna know the gender of my baby (hoping and praying for a little girl) but hubby is also very ADAMANT against knowing and refuses to let me find out.

He says it's like opening your Christmas present in July and then wrapping it up again and having to wait till Christmas to open it and play with it.

My entire side of the family wants to know too, including my 100 year old grandma. Her health is declining rapidly and may not make it till December. (They all hope for a girl too) Even with this my hubby still refuses to learn the gender. His parents do too as they have 2 sons and 3 grandsons. They want a little girl as well.

I've talked to some mamas in my life and all of them have said they loved knowing.

What is your opinion on finding out the gender?

And how can I convince hubby to find out?
