New Baby's Sex?

So, everyone wants to know New Baby's sex. Excepting the silent, "ARE YOU CRAZY?" the question people are most likely to ask me is some form of "Are you going to find out New Baby's sex?"

The answer is yes. The answer to the follow-up question is "No, you can't know."

I have been through two pregnancies without knowing, and I heartily recommend it, but I wanted to try it the other way for this last pregnancy. Not knowing is great - you focus on the important things and you can discuss extra baby names. It was wonderful to have that mystery to ponder, to hep me decide the things I would teach a child regardless of sex and to help me realize that I will teach the same things in either case. Now that I know that, I want to try pregnancy the other way.

L and I decided that the four people in the household would each get to decide individually if he or she wanted to find out. The promise was that if everyone found out, we might decide to release the information, but if one or more wanted to be surprised, NO ONE outside of the house will know. NO EXCEPTIONS. It was not unanimous and so some in the house will know, some in the house will be surprised. And everyone outside the house will be surprised.
