Anxiously waiting to find out the sex!

Cara • Expecting our first baby Jan 1st 2016! Married my best friend after 8 years together 10/10/14.
I'm 12 weeks 5 days today. My husband and I are going at 16 weeks to find out the sex together. Then, at 17 weeks we have scheduled an ultrasound for both of our parents to come and find out the gender. We thought this would work well so we could find out just the two of us and then include our parents and allow them to find out first hand before anyone else. I can't wait!!! I'm counting down the days...about 22 more days! :-))) my mother in law keeps trying to convince me that we should wait until birth to find out. To each his own but personally I want to know as soon as possible. :-)
