Will we or won't we?

It's been an argument as to whether or not we will find out what this baby is...

For those of you who have followed "In the Wings" for years, you will recall that we were informed that D was a girl for about a month before learning he actually was a boy.  So, needless to say I'm not the most trusting.

All that aside, I feel like I wouldn't mind waiting.  Being surprised.  Waiting to hear the doctor announce "it's a ___!!!" like they do in the movies.  But as Dain says, it's a surprise no matter when you find out.

I was the one who didn't want to find out if you hadn't guessed...and Dain, being the logical one, does.  But I have had a bit of a change of heart...just looking around our teeny tiny house and seeing all the stuff laying around.  Stuff that is not one iota neutral in gender...meaning that if D's done playing with it, and we have a girl...unless she REALLY loves superheroes...it's not necessarily going to be of full use.  So I'd like to do a big clean-out if it IS a girl this time around.

(PS - I'm not saying that any daughter of mine will be playing with pretty princesses and pink frilly stuff at all hours of the day [have we met?] and I would want any daughter to have a few superhero toys - but the chance of another Meyer offspring being as obsessed with "guys" as D is, boy or girl, is slim to none).

So - we may find out.  Maybe.  I still reserve the right to change my mind...I have 6 weeks.
