We were never ones for wanting to find out, but that changed.

#1 we didnt find out and it was lovely, though i always had this "knowing" that she was a girl
#2 we didnt want to find out again but little mr exposed himself to us all in a big way on the ultrasound and there was no hiding what he was.
#3 we decided to find out, not really sure why, but we did.
#4 we wanted to find out but she crossed her legs and had the cord between her legs for good measure, so we got a lovely surprise when she was born.
#5 we decided to find out.
#6 by now we can read ultrasounds without being told what we are having.
#7 same as above

Its lovely having a surprise but its also good to know what colours etc to be buying and what you need. Particularly when #7 was a boy after a string of 5 girls in a row, we had to buy everything for him as over the course of 5 girls we had gone from having lots of neutrals to some neutrals to everything pink.

We never told anyone the names of any of our babies until they were born and we didnt tell the sex either, except for with #7
