I am now 37 weeks and very impatient. DH and I have stuck it out and aggred to not find out. The only person that knows is our OB and he won't tell us unless we say to him 'what is the sex of our child'.
I am so looking forward to the day we get to officially meet our little bub and give it a name and introduce it to all our family. It will make the last months so rewarding.

As far as connecting to it, we have had no problems, it is still a real live baby in there growing stronger every day, it dosen;t kick or move less than if we knew it was a boy or girl.
