On the other hand, you don't want to jump the
gun, because ultrasounds have been known
to be indecisive and sometimes just plain
wrong. (Well, not the ultrasound itself, but the
doctor's opinion of your baby's gender based
on it.) If it's bad to have to wait in line with a
newborn to exchange one outfit, just imagine
going to five different stores to return twenty
outfits, three sets of crib sheets with matching
curtains, a crate full of baby toys, and those
color-coordinated pacifiers? Not to mention
having to re-paint / re-wallpaper the nursery!

All I'm saying is, unless the ultrasound is very,
very clear and the doctor is 99.999 percent
positive, you might still want to wait on your
most important baby purchases until after the
birth. We were certainly glad we did.
