Gender Reveal

I'm over half way through this pregnancy, which means we had the ultrasound to reveal the gender. So is it a boy or a girl? We didn't find out.

We were the only couple that didn't find out the gender during birthing class six years ago with our first pregnancy. The teacher warned us that not knowing could lead to disappointment when the baby is born. I thought the teacher was dead wrong because your more apt to be disappointed when your pregnant than when you give birth. Who could be disappointed with a newborn?

This is our fourth pregnancy, and we didn't find out the gender with any of our children. Once you know the gender then you know the name. A 3D ultrasound can show the baby's face, so where is the mystery or surprise?

As for gender reveal parties or Pinterest inspired blue or pink crafts, it's cute and fun for the day; however, it invites opinions about the  gender, name, and even the baby's personality. For example, if this baby is a boy, family and friends would predict that our only girl would be tough and spoiled. If it's a girl, she'll be the best playmate for her older sister. I'm not ready for other's opinions when I still have 19 weeks to go.

I still like predicting the gender. I usually have dreams about the baby's sex. So far my dreams have always predicted males, so I've been right the first two times and wrong the last time. What is your prediction?
