Any success stories of one parent knowing the sex of baby and the other not?

Basically as the title suggests...

Our first bubba is due in October, I'd always said I wanted to know the sex, DH feels just as strongly the other way. He feels it's one of the few true surprises you can have in this world and whilst that is lovely I feel that I'd really like to know so that I can mentally adjust and build more of a bond with bump. My logical head knows that it would be really tricky to consciously keep it a secret from him and I certainly wouldn't want to take away his opportunity for a surprise. So I suspect I won't find out as hard as that will be for me, but I was just curious to know if anyone else has found out and been able to make it through the last few weeks without telling their other half? Thanks all! 😊

My dh found out because the idiot doing the scan didn't pay attention to our wishes. Luckily, I was too goo-ey over the footage to hear her use "she" when talking about the baby. It worked out fine for us.

With ds23 and dd20 there was no option to find out.

With dd14, I really wanted to know, but dh didn't. Before we went for scan appt, he agreed to leave room while I found out.

I randomly referred to dd as he and she throughout the rest of the pregnancy.

With dd9, we both found out at scan.
