Am I the only person who doesn't want to find out?

Question

My husband and I are constantly asked:- 
"how could you not what to know what you're having?!"
Is it just us that's actually excited to have a surprise of the day Precious (our nickname for baby) decides to come into our lives?
Why do so many people feel the need to find out the gender of their baby?
For us, the only reason we can see, and the main reason people keep saying to us, is that you need to be ready, you'll want to buy pink or blue clothing.
So are we going to be totally unprepared to meet our baby just because we have gender neutral clothes?

Answer

You'll also save money because you won't be able to splurge on lots of gender specific clothes as you'll want to wait until you know!

Answer

I wish I could like this a million times. I feel exactly the same way. I'm not going to force my child into gender stereotypes and specific colours. And I think it's more natural and fun to be surprised.

Answer

Nope! We aren't either. I feel like after hours of labor and pain, it's just one more this to look forward too. One more thing to keep me going and not break down and freak out during. One more thing to think "after this contraction, I'm one more closer to finding out what our baby is and meeting our baby."

Answer

We didn't find out for our first and aren't finding out again this time. I enjoyed that I couldn't imagine or create their life until they were born, I'm a big planner and thinker so I knew the baby would have its first few years planned before it was even here. So I like that it all starts once we meet them and then they shape a lot of it.

Don't worry about feeling unprepared either, it just shows your quite relaxed about everything and that's a great attitude to have. Just get a few things you'll need and thenyou have heaps of time when there born.

Answer

We are keeping it a surprise too and every time I tell someone that they look at me like I'm insane! I looked at a poll on this recently and there was close to 500 votes and only 6% weren't finding out! We don't want all pink or blue at our shower, we want useful things! The way I look at it is that the world gives us very few big actual surprises and this one will just be so magical!!! 😊

Answer

We aren't finiding out either ! And yes people are acting like we're freaks because we want to be surprised at birth. Ultra sounds are hard though. The baby can easily show the goods at any time. But luckily our baby keeps their back to us for photos. Lol stay strong mama!

Answer

We aren't finding out either. We are excited for the surprise at the end. Stay strong and don't worry about what other people think.

Answer

We're not finding out either. There are so few surprises in our world and I feel like this is the best one! My friends and family know our tastes and we'll be getting black, grey and lots of gorgeous, bright colors - oranges, greens, teal, yellow and NEONS - not the usual, bland gender-neutral stuff. So so excited to find out when baby is born!

Answer

I'm finding out during my baby shower with my family. It's going to be incredible. I'm so excited, I can't wait.

Answer

we aren't finding out! my husband wanted to but I convinced him that the surprise will be worth it!
