Whatever your religion, not finding out your baby's gender is an act of faith, supreme trust that all will be well and that ultimately you will have what you are meant to have. I completely understand why all my friends chose to find out their baby's sex via sonogram, before birth. The middle-aged sonographer thought I was joking when I told her that I didn't want to know. You're the first person in months to not want to know," she said. But it wasn't that I didn't want to know. I wondered every day. Rather, I was choosing not to know.

Typically, the ultrasound is done halfway through the pregnancy. The accuracy of the report will depend on many factors, including the age of the baby, the equipment used, the technician, and the baby. This theory states that if the ultrasound technician fails to find a penis the baby is automatically a girl. You will see below there is more to a girl ultrasound picture than the absence of a penis. In fact, particularly early on in pregnancy, a clitoris and a penis are roughly the same size and shape.

As the big day drew near for both of my sons' births, I was going nuts with anticipation and excitement. Excitement about adding to our family and becoming a dad, for sure, but also because I was finally going to get the answer to a very important question -- are we having a boy or a girl? Yup, that's right. We didn't find out. That's a decision that has drawn some mixed reactions and opinions to say the least, but it's one my wife and I stand behind percent.
