4-4-14 Team Green?

I don’t want to find out the sex of our baby and J does.  Usually when we come to a crossroads like this one of us can persuade the other into agreement.  In this case, neither of us is budging.  I just think it will be fun for it to be a surprise!  Not just for us but for our friends and family.  We are at a point in our lives when many of our friends are having babies and I’ll admit, I do get more excited for the births of the babies that have some mystery behind them.  I have friends that hold back on sharing the name and that’s fun too.  It’s just not as exciting to get the phone call that says “We had a girl and her name in Jane!” when you’ve known that for two months.

I’m still open for some discussion.  If J can come up with a real strong argument I might be able to be swayed but I know we will at least keep the name a secret.  The only factor that has me leaning towards finding out the gender is the whole naming business.   We can’t come to agreement on one name, I don’t know how we are going to come up with two.  I predict the process will be long and painful.  If we found out the gender than maybe it would be half as long and half as painful?
