It was a surprise to both of us. Initially I wanted to know, my wife was staunchly against it, and the doctor did offer to tell me only but that's not a surprise that I can realistically keep. In hindsight I'm very glad I didn't find out. A couple moments really made it worth it, and I think I've posted them in here before, but I will again anyway. The moment immediately after my daughter was born and the doctor told my wife it's a girl, her reaction and the way she looked at our child and said with tears in her eyes and voice, and said very compassionately "you're a girl?!?!". That's a moment I'll never forget. The other was busting through the door into the waiting room and saying to the people I love the most "it's a girl!" That's a very special memory to me.

The logistical aspect of not knowing wasn't as much of a hinderance as people sometimes think.

I actually called my daughter Peter while she was in the womb because I was convinced she was gonna be a boy.

Either way, whatever y'all end up doing, it will be amazing for you, and congratulations. Fatherhood rocks

    I always tell people it's a surprise no matter when you find out. It's not like it's not a surprise at 20 weeks versus 40. But I get that it's a bigger moment at 40.

    Agree with picking a nickname. My son was Jimmy and my daughter was Mabel until they were born.

    Both of my children were Lee Jr in the womb until we found out the gender, and started discussing names

    Re: Expecting/Baby Thread

    This seems to be where other parents are congregating, so I wanted to ask others what they thought.

    My daughter is 9. I didn't plan on having "the talk" with her until she was at least 13 or had hit puberty (they seem to be doing that early nowadays). She's out west for the summer visiting her mom/step-dad and apparently some kids at her daycare were talking about sex. So now she's curious, she's asking questions, and it seems like I have to have this talk way earlier than I had planned.

    If anyone has older kids, when did you have the talk with them?

    Don't mean to be a wise guy, but are you saying that your child is 9 and is in daycare? I would think that would be 3rd or 4th grade???

    Yeah, it's not like "daycare" daycare, it's more of a summer camp type thing but without sleeping there. So a place where they do activities and whatnot, go on field trips, etc

    Regardless, the daycare provider my two sons go to is comprised of kids up to and exceeding that age range in the summer and on school breaks, for example.

    Meredith Grace was welcomed into this world last night at 8:56pm. She's 5lb 13oz and 17". She came 6 weeks early but she and Mom are both doing fantastic! No complications whatsoever. I can safely tell my wife I'm in love with another woman

    We have our anatomy ultrasound in mid-late september. I was 100% against knowing what the gender of the baby was, but after doing a little browsing at various baby stores, holy crap is it impossible to buy gender neutral stuff, let alone trying to pick a name. I can now no longer wait for this appointment.

    Totally amazing how quickly you adapt though, isn't it?

    If you're almost 2-months in then don't fret, only another 2/3 months to go and she should be giving you a solid 6-8 hour stretch of shut eye.

    we've been fortunate that the rough nights arent a daily occurence. that said, tonight better not be a repeat of last night, i would prefer more than 3 hours this go-around
