Flip-flop & Assumptions

Contemplating a gender reveal. We are 22 weeks.... Should we hold out or find out?

I haven't heard one definite reason as to why people find out that would make holding out not worth it, but then I can flip the coin and say the same to holding out.

A HUGE part of me feels as though finding out would take away my last aspect of this pregnancy I had originally planned on doing. Then another part tells me that in finding out we would find it easier to come up with a definite girl name, to be more connected, etc.

Not finding out would be an amazing surprise at delivery... I won't ever forget Owen when he first arrived. Amanda asking what it is - the joy of knowing it is a boy and her saying, "Hi, Owen!" No matter how crazy your delivery is NOTHING would over power hearing, "It's a..." As a mother I am sure every aspect is noted somewhere in the brain and the moment you waited on - the birth of your child, knowing the gender - would not be swept to the side.

I don't know. Maybe this means I truly am a flip-flopper and can't decide on my own. We are 22 weeks so why not just hold out....

My plan was to surprise everyone we were pregnant, that didn't go 100% as planned, my plan was to have the baby at home, could still happen but unlikely since we have a CMW, to not know the sex, that too can change....

Maybe I need to stop being such a planner and let life takes it course. Who knows maybe during our 3D ultrasound the lil nugget will be spread eagle saying here mom - no worries I did it for you.

Oh I can't wait!!!!! :)

So, baby J, as you are kicking me now and I write this.... I want you to know boy or girl as long as you arrive happy and healthy I will be more than overjoyed. I love you so much baby.
