Willpower, where are you?

Remember how adamant I was about staying on team yellow?

Yeh, well, hmmm. I'm having doubts.

The doubts started after many hours spent looking at baby names. For some reason, I spend way too much time on girls names, and I realise boys names are actually harder!
I was thinking, why am I adding this anxiety over names? It's probably my number 1 stress right now (besides for living arrangements which is another post entirely) but I have the power to make it 50% less stressful.

We are going for a 4D scan probably in the next few weeks when hubby's parents come to visit, and I'm seriously considering finding out the sex then.
But I'm embarrassed - what will people think! I know I shouldn't care, but I've told everyone we want a surprise and now I'm 'throwing in the towel' at the last minute!
Hubby hasn't minded knowing from the beginning - it's just me who wanted the surprise. My family also want me to find out because if it's a boy, we need to do a circumcision at 8 days (religious reasons) which will need to be organised and is a huge deal that family will want to make plans to come over for. (I don't even want to think about this tradition - it is awful awful awful - but that's also a whole other story).

What do you think? Find out or not?

P.S. I have an irrational craving for smoked salmon. It's bad. I also have a stinking cold and have been in bed since Saturday :(
