| Sometimes it depends on the situation too. My cousin had a baby boy at the end of March, a friend had a baby boy the day after, our friends have a one year old boy, and my brother and his wife are having a boy two weeks after me. We really wanted to find out the gender because we were surrounded by boys, and had a feeling it was a girl. If there weren't so many little boys in our immediate circle we may have been tempted to wait to find out at the delivery.

We were also in the opposite situation...
DH did not want to know...he wanted a "surprise" at the end of L&D. I wanted to know. The main reason was that I secretly wanted a little girl....so I wanted time to "prepare" myself if we were having a boy. Seriously, initially in the pregnancy I was afraid that if I was told I just gave birth to a boy, my disappointment would show...
Well, after finding out we were having a boy, I was thrilled. My relationship with my unborn child changed - no longer an "it" but "my little baby boy".
Now, I am totally completely in love with my son....and would love to have another boy...though I would be happy with a girl too (first and foremost I want healthy, happy babies).
DH really wants a boy and a girl and is hoping the next one is a girl....He has also mentioned that next time he does want to know of the gender early in the pregnancy...I on the other hand, have told him that I would not want to know. I wonder who will win this "battle" when it arises.....
This totally happened to me when we found out the sex of our baby. DH didn't want to, and I had said the choice was up to him because I would be happy either way. When asked at the ultrasound he said yes...so we found out. It totally changed my relationship with my unborn baby. Like Slakie said, she went from being an "it" to being "our little girl". It will still be a wonderful surprise when she is born, we don't know what she looks like, what her weight will be, her length, when it will happen and her name is still "up in the air". To each their own...but for me, it's really helped me bond with my daughter. 
...Proud Momma of Charlotte...
