What does everyone think about learning the sex of a baby before it's born?

The g/f and I aren't sure on whether or not to find out or keep it as a surprise. On one side it makes things easy for anyone buying anything for the child on the other it just adds more to the B-day(or is it D-day?).


Thanks for your input in advance

When I have kids, I don't wanna know the gender until it's born.

I found out both times. The first because we were poor, Mr. Lil was in the millitary and we needed to buy the stuff the baby would need. The second because we were poor, only had boy stuff and needed to know what else we needed. Plus the ultrsounds for baby 2 helped baby 1 feel connected to the process of gaining a sibling and he was adamant he did not want a girl.

I was also adamant that I didn't want a girl.I now have two of them & no
sons.With our 2cd,I walked into the delivery room & my wife said-I'm sorry,
it's another girl.I said-Who cares?It's ours & you're BOTH healthy.They're
both in their mid thirties now & I couldn't be happier!I think that every man,
should have at least ONE daughter.When you come home,after a shitty day,
& you wonder-What am I doing this for?Your daughters come up to you &
say-I love you daddy & you know why! Irish
P.S.It takes a man,to make a boy,but it takes a better one to shoot the BALLS of of him!
