The second question everyone has asked us after announcing our news, following 'when's your due date?' has been 'are you going to find out what it is?'.
It's wonderful to see how excited and eager all our friends and family are about our little bundle but for us, the excitement really is in the not knowing.
So much of our lives are planned to the letter and information is at our fingertips, literally, whenever we need it. One thing that can remain a mystery is whether you are having a son or daughter.
From a practical standpoint, I totally understand why people want to find out as soon as they can - after all, sleepsuits aside, finding gender-neutral outfits for baby is quite a task.
But for us, we want to keep that piece of information a surprise, even to ourselves.
After all, it won't change anything one way or the other. As long as bubs is healthy, it doesn't matter one bit if it's a boy or girl. From the trend of women I have known over the years who have had babies, it's 99.9% certain to be a boy but it's one of life's great mysteries and we'll wait until May to find out what Mother Nature has in store.
