Good morning all.
I hope you don't mind me making this suggestion. I found out the sex of our wee one about a month ago and was given some wonderful advice from a close girlfriend only moments before we went in for the scan. She found out the sex of her baby in the Scan room and said although she was delighted, it was quite an anti-climax as she and her DP could not embrace/punch the air/cry etc. because they were in a Dr's office. With this in mind I asked the Sonographer to tell us when to turn away and instead write the sex on a piece of paper and put in an envelope. Straight after the scan my DH and I went and purchased a small bottle of champers to share (tsk tsk I know) and went to a special 'spot' dear to both of us on the river. We opened the envelope together (tears welling up for me even when I write this - damn hormones...) and found out our wonderful news in beautiful and special surroundings. We toasted our good fortune, cried and laughed and it was perfect. I would recommend this to all who are going to find out the sex. Just makes it more special and allows you to absorb the monumental event in private.
