I am so excited to find out what we're having! Hopefully the ultrasound will reveal - that will be the big surprise for us, and I can't even wait that long, ha ha :)
Like others, it helps us connect in a different way. We also struggle with boys names, but we already have a girl name picked, so knowing early will help with that. We just want to be able to plan for the arrival differently, knowing if there is a wee girl or boy. We would also like to help DS get a better sense of who is coming - he's full of questions, and I have a feeling he would want to know boy or girl.
I wish I had the patience to wait until birth, b/c I think that would be really special, but we're happy with finding out :)
