(but then I just avoided ultrasounds altogether, so finding out wasn't really a discision I had to personally make) I hear from my sister that the one time she knew ahead of time it was really neat during labor when she was being encouraged "here HE comes, HE's almost here". CONGRATULATIONS and Hope you are feeling better soon!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362247825267466850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-39188316914594410232010-03-06T12:55:30.401-06:002010-03-06T12:55:30.401-06:00I too noticed such a difference the 2nd time aroun...I too noticed such a difference the 2nd time around. And my daughter is a great big sis, though she can get bossy at times. I wanted to find out the gender for planning on what items I could get rid of and what I needed to buy. We bought a pink/brown swing, stroller, etc so I needed to know if I needed to replace those things. Plus, I clean out her closet every couple of months and donate clothes. So I wanted to know if I needed to save any of those items or if I could keep giving them away. I'm too much of a planner/organizer to not find out.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144889881554059635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-88374395250917018602010-03-05T21:32:10.586-06:002010-03-05T21:32:10.586-06:00We already have a boy and a girl, so we figured we...We already have a boy and a girl, so we figured we'd let this one surprise us. We also felt very comfortable doing the surprise thing because we genuinely are happy having a boy or girl. It's been tough. Our OB does an ultrasound at each visit, so it's been tough because he does VERY short ultrasounds with us b/c there's not much to look at if you don't want to chance seeing a crotch shot. Also I feel like I'm not quite as bonded this time to this genderless baby. We're having a terrible time picking out names for either gender. It'd be kinda nice to be able to focus on boy or girl names. Also, very hard to prepare for the baby. I've been sewing up gender neutral bibs, burp cloths, but clothes are a bit tougher. But even with all that I think it will be an amazing pay off when we go through labor and then get to meet our new little boy or girl.Melissa at Perry Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09712759091358509557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436093165007267837.post-35709493998562576902010-03-05T19:27:15.891-06:002010-03-05T19:27:15.891-06:00I totally get what you mean about your daughter tu...I totally get what you mean about your daughter turning into a cuddle bug! Cady has been that way to me also! Its like they know that we need a hug and that we need to rest and so they just turn into tiny car takers! I personally HAVE to find out the sex! Lol! I cant wait! I need to be prepared! :-) But I have talked to a lot of other moms that I know that I pregnant as well and I have noticed that a lot of them arent finding out this time around. They want it to be a surprise. But like I said, I personally have to find out! Lol!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13258396799407422694noreply@blogger.com
