I have my 20th week scan in 4 weeks and I was undecided whether to find out or not but I think I am going to do the envelope thing, that is a great idea! Hopefully the sonographer won't mind doing it.
Hey,
We didn't find out the sex of Jessica and I truly loved it. I am a person who spoils surprises and HAS to know everything straight away and it surprised me that I didn't want to know the sex. When we have another child, we won't find out either. In reference to being better organised, I like to dress Jessica in all different colours of the rainbow, not purely pink but when she was born, I received a whole wardrobe of pink things, so the neutral colours I had bought blended right in.
Also, it makes more fun for the guessing game. I'm sure you've had people telling you that they're ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED you're having a girl or a boy. It was funny to have people arguing over if we were having a boy or a girl.
Finding out the sex is purely a personal thing and I see pros and cons of both sides.
I think the envelope thing is a wonderful idea, but in all honesty, that wouldn't work for me. It would be like putting a tin of lollies in front of a child and telling them not to eat them. I would have that envelope ripped open right away! LOL.
Good luck with your decision!
