To Know Or Not To Know?

~~~~~~~~~WARNING~~~~~~~~
 This is my opinion so please do not be offended..



August 30th is the day we see baby for the first time.. On ultrasound! Are we going to find out what baby is? NO WAY!  I think when everybody finds out what they are having it is  B O R I N G!!!!! (remember this is my opinion) And I will tell you why.. 1. I hate to know my presents before I open them, if I do that is the LAST gift I open.. Same goes for babies.. It takes away the excitement of delivery and all that. 2. I have heard it said that you bond better when you know who baby is.. SORRY, if I bonded anymore w/ my baby I would have to eat 'em! :) I don't need to know who baby is to already love them w/ all my heart! 3. I don't like knowing what others are having either.. For example: they find out what gender, tell the name, then 5 months later baby is born. I'm like "I already knew that 5 months ago!" 4. For first time parents it is kind of dumb to get a shower w/ only pink or blue..then what if you have the other later? You have to go and buy that all yourself!! (of course some might never have the other one, but most often you do!).....I have also heard that some want so bad one or the other that when they find out what they are having they almost grieve if it's not the one they want.. When you don't know and baby is born and pops out one or the other you don't even care.  How can you grieve when you see that beautiful face for the first time?? With Brandt I was hoping for a girl, I admit, but once he was born I didn't care anymore. I said, I would take a hundred boys like him!!  It's kind of funny when the doctors ask if I'm finding out/know and I say nope. They get all excited!! It's more exciting for them too.. :) I have had so many comment and say, "You know you are in the minority?" Yup, I do! There is so few great surprises anymore that I like to keep atleast one of them going on! Anyway, you don't have to agree with me, and that's ok! Have a great day everybody!!

  1. I agree for the most part! Especially when you already know the sex/name. We found out with our last 2 but from now on I doubt we will. I love the surprise too!! Also surprising everyone else :) The doctors always think it's fun too!!

  2. I like finding out, after my first one, which I didn't...but am not like some who basically tell the world the name, they may as well pick and tell the birth weight and all that too, right?! LOL

  4. Agreed Amanda!! I'm not saying that I will never find out; but if I did I wouldn't want to tell people and that would be soooo hard to do!

  5. I found out with Wyatt and very happy i did, Im gonna find out the next time too :) I think once i get one of each then i will let it be a surprise! Im the type that likes to get prepared & ready to go :) So when u have one of each you will have everything you need, then can be a surprise. I tell people the gender, but deff NOT the name!!

  6. We do not like to know. We wait for the little one to be born.

  7. Ya I pretty much feel the same way, but I do not think people who find out are wrong. Everyone is different and since we have the technology, for some, it may be better...?? I haven't ever found out, but Missy said she likes to know ahead of time. They don't tell the name though =)

  8. Ummm... I never said it was wrong if you found out what you are having.. I just said I think it's boring and would rather wait to hear when baby is born.. Mine and others

  9. I never found out with any of mine and Leon and I liked it that way. But I guess it doesn't really bother me if others find out..I get excited to learn what it is on the ultrasound day, just as excited the day baby is born when I don't know:)Everyone is different and do things differntly...if we were all the same that would be boring:)
