I have recently discovered the Pros and Cons to not finding out the sex of your baby.
I know, a little slow on figuring this out. Oh well, too late.
Cons:
~you get YELLOW baby outfits (I really didn't think anyone would give me anything. I am pretty set as it is with clothes from the other kids. My babies are bald and pale, so its not a great color! Nice though that people are so thoughtful!
~ the realization of a little one coming soon is hard for others esp. ATTICUS & COZY.... They don't have a name to call it or a room to associate with it!
~ The guest room sits as a "guest room" and your nesting skills have to go to places like the pantry.
~ picking out a name for both a girl and a boy (any more BOY suggestions??)
Pros:
~the "guest room" isn't changed into the baby room and there is no pressure to lift a finger in preparation. I guess I will just read my book!
~ save the money on other things instead of shopping for baby clothes.
~ the look on peoples faces when you tell them you're not finding out (I am learning that it is a rare thing these days)
~ the SURPRISE at the end I am sure!!!!!

Shannon and I didn't find out the gender of any of our kids. We thought it was fun to be surprised. Good luck with the last few weeks.

Definitely the surprise - I could never understand why anyone would forgo the excitement of having that fun surprise after all that work! (Of course, I am obsessive about surprises...)
And note to self: do not buy yellow for Haley :)
