So I have my ultrasound scheduled on the 28th of April, that's in about 3 weeks, and I'm really struggling with whether or not to find out the sex of this baby. I can't even believe that I'm considering NOT finding out, but I sorta kinda feel like I should. Dan hasn't ever wanted to know before we actually had the baby, but I NEEDED to know. I told him after our first that we wouldn't find out with our second, but then I realized that I wanted to find out, so we did with the second too, I may have even told Dan that since we are finding out with our second we won't with our third! Dan says not finding out until the birth is truly the only real surprise in life. He says he wants to experience the whole, "it's a........!" when the baby's born.
I read somewhere online that even though I've had two girls previously I still pretty much have a 50/50 chance of having a boy or a girl.
I would really like to have a boy, and that's what I've told people since before I was even pregnant, that, it's a boy. You see, Dan is an only boy in his family, he has two OLDER sisters, so two girls and then a boy! His Dad is an only boy in his family too, so if we don't have any boys the Houtz name will stop at Dan in his family. Of course I will be happy if it's a girl too.
I know the whole when you know before you have the baby you can be prepared more, and buy clothes and things before the baby is born, but I get a little excited and emotional when I think about finding out right after the baby is born. I just don't know what to do. Some days I want to find out, and others I can see myself waiting. I do love surprises, but I also love knowing so I can make the baby a gender specific blanket. AHHHH.
Do I have the ultrasound tech write it down on a piece of paper and have them put it in an envelope, so just in case I change my mind I still have the chance of finding out? Or do I just find out? Or do I just wait? I know what all my family thinks about this, but what about you? I really want your opinion, even if I've never met you before and this is the first time to my blog, please let me know what you've done, or what you wish you would have done in finding out the sex of your unborn baby.
Thanks!
With feet
And legs
And a heart beat
Oh, yeah and with girl parts!
We had our first date!
Waiting to "paint" the eggs.
"What are we doing?"
Blurry picture, but you get the idea.
The Easter baskets.
"Oh, that's what's inside?"
I laughed at this picture, doesn't she look kinda disappointed?
Just before church. 
"Carly, look at dad and smile."
Oh well, that's the best we got.
