WE knew the sex, we wanted to know the sex and we were pleased with being able to plan. <BR/><BR/>I do have a family member who played the 'game' and found out that she was having a girl, but husband decided he did not want to know the sex until the birth. So the wife accomodated husband's request to the extent that she called the unborn child 'Baby', hid all the pink clothes and decorations and made efforts beyond normal reason to accomodate his request. Why did this husband have the right to tell her to save it for the birth? She is carrying the baby and he's lucky she did a favor for him to give him the suprize. I would think it takes away from the woman's experience becoming a mother to NOT share in the sex of the baby with the husband.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10468452550085723711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689666664858753593.post-28232981517346969122007-11-05T20:09:00.000-05:002007-11-05T20:09:00.000-05:00If a doctor can't determine a boy vs. a girl on an ultrasound, I think you have bigger problems than a pink room. General rule of thumb, kids come with 2 legs. If there is a 3rd leg, it's a boy.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908611876926730826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689666664858753593.post-242197690168594592007-11-05T16:23:00.000-05:002007-11-05T16:23:00.000-05:00Mark, Mark, Mark...<BR/><BR/>3 points...<BR/><BR/>1) The Wife and I did not want to find out. It was a we decision. Yes, we wanted the surpise for sure. But c'mon, it isn't an old argument, this is one of the things in life that is a good surprise either way. And I challenge you to come up with another such surprise. <BR/><BR/>2) It avails you to think of names for a boy or a girl, expands the imagination. Liking names for a girls or a boy is a great thing.<BR/><BR/>3) I have had TWO friends that <I>KNEW</I> they were having a girl that wound up getting a reversal of fortune. One of them had a pink room and white-and-pink furniture waiting for their baby boy. <BR/><BR/>Eric Meek<BR/>(This really is Tom P., but I'm going to pick a random Dukie and throw his name down)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
