Questions for the mothers and fathers

Just wondering how many of you had your children without knowing if they were a boy or girl until they were delivered? Did you enjoy the suprise or do you feel like it is better to know so you can prepare a little more ahead of time? The wife and I are not really sure what to do. Thanks for your help...

I have 4 kids...... and never knew ahead of time for any of them

most baby stuff is pretty neutral....other than pink and blue

I knew before all of mine. I think there is good and bad with both.

Well, um, well. I didn't know till he was 9 months old, lol.

Some of you will understand that

I didn't want to know at first for all 3 of mine but, it finally got to me and I had to know for each one of them to prepare myself more then anything. I agree with Mathewsguy that there is good and bad with both. Have fun choosing names if you haven't already.

Congrats.

I had 2 boy's and did not want to know. I didn't care as long as they were healthy. That's all we cared about.

Yeah I have two as well and just like Chad had said there are good things and bad things. It really is up to you all.

Yeah, we have talked about it for a while trying to decide what we want to do.... I know it is up to us of course, but I like getting others perspective as well. Thanks for all the answers so far...

Good luck Dave on what ever decision you both deciede on.

Dude Christmas and biethdays drive me crazy(not knowing what I'm getting) so I knew what was coming for both of my kids. Ask my wife she has to hide presents at her parents house because i'm 32 and still snoop for presents.

on the present thing

We new before hand aswell, just to be more prepared for them.

We waited to find out. I liked the surprise, especially since we got a boy! Honestly I can't think of anything we would have been more prepared for if we knew ahead of time.

I wanted to be surprised, but my wife thought she had a say in it So we found out ahead of time on all three of them. Makes it easier to buy clothes and get stuff set up I guess.

We waited for the surprise. We figgured it would add to the excitement.

I couldn't wait to find out ... but I'm a planner, so I wanted to get everything ready.

We wanted to know ahead of time, but our two girls were shy for the camra. Not any more though. I think it is a supprise either way. Congrats!
