I am now almost 15 weeks into my first pregnancy.  My husband and I are counting down the weeks until we find out the sex of our baby.  When I told my parents that we were going to find out before the baby was born, they seemed sad or disappointed, like I was really missing out on a huge opportunity or something.  Needless to say, I think that deep-down, they both are very curious and excited to find out early as well.  They just can’t show their excitement yet (since it’s not what they did when they were new parents).  I’ve heard it being described as “opening your presents before Christmas.”  I am definitely an advocate in waiting until Christmas morning to open presents, but it seems to me that finding out the sex of our baby will be just as exciting and surprising at 20 weeks as it would be when I actually deliver the baby.  So whether you are a fan of
finding out or waiting, I’m sure that special day will be a happy one for both you and your spouse.
