I didn't find out for my first and really didn't want to - I wanted the surprise. We found out with this one - it was the "will it be a girl"?? thing - it's not and I couldn't be happier but I wanted to know. Given this one will also be a boy IF we had another I probably would want to know again to get over any gender issues I may or maynot have knowing it would be my last - don't think I would but you never know. If this one had been a girl and thus I had one of each I'd go back to any future ones being surprises cause I really do like the surprise element
