Here's the dilemma...my husband has a 7yr old from a previous marriage and this will be our first child together. Being my first, I want the surprise to know if it's a boy or girl, yet my husband wants to find out seeing as he's already done the "surprise" with his first child. He suggested the tech put the gender in an envelope and then we open together Xmas day? What do you ladies think? Was the surprise better than being prepared? I do dislike the yellows and mint greens but also want the surprise lol. HELP!
