We decided BD as well. For us, the excitement/surprise was together in that little room looking at that screen. I don't know if the surprise would be the same if you find out in the delivery room, but a lot of things are going on at that time, so maybe it wouldn't mean as much to you as a couple as opposed to a quiet room and a screen. Plus, the planning. And I think this is underrated. For baby shower planning, especially, being able to tell your friends and family helps them decide what gifts to give the expecting couple. That's my opinion anyway, but I'm a curious guy who couldn't wait to find out. What's funny, is we didn't exactly have the option either. The doctor panicked a bit and quickly asked as we were looking at the screen if we wanted to know. Even our untrained eyes could tell it was a boy.
