(We in advance had handed him the envelope.) We found out we're having a girl and I think it was great not to know for 8 months and exciting to know for the last one... And I was even able to get some warm, winter girlish onesies before they all left the stores to make room for the spring clothing! (It's still pretty chilly here on the east coast.)
