"My husband and I decided not to find out whether we&amp;#039;re having a boy or a girl. I wouldn&amp;#039;t have minded knowing\u2014I&amp;#039;m a planner!\u2014but he really, really wanted to wait, so I conceded. When people ask us what we&amp;#039;re having and we say we don&amp;#039;t know, they seem genuinely stumped. (We can&amp;#039;t be the only couple who&amp;#039;s waiting to find out, right?) The first thing they want to know is what I think we&amp;#039;re having. Since I have no feelings either way, next they want to know what my husband thinks we&amp;#039;re having. He&amp;#039;s gone back and forth\u2014I think he&amp;#039;s on &amp;quot;boy&amp;quot; now\u2014so naturally that doesn&amp;#039;t satisfy them either.  The next part of the conversation involves a series of questions\u2014all based on old wives&amp;#039; tales\u2014the answers to which are supposed to give the questioning party some sense of resolution. I&amp;#039;m moody and have upgraded chocolate to &amp;quot;food group&amp;quot; status, therefore I&amp;#039;m having a girl. But wait! I&amp;#039;m clumsy and can&amp;#039;t get enough lemonade, so it could be a boy! I&amp;#039;ve been asked if I&amp;#039;ve swung my wedding ring over my stomach, checked the Chinese gender predictor, or tried mixing my urine with Drano. No, no, and NO! (Ew!) If I&amp;#039;m okay with waiting to find out, why is everyone else in such a rush? Did you find out your baby&amp;#039;s gender in advance? Or was it a surprise? If you waited, were people constantly trying to figure it out beforehand? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
