That's what we did, and I don't regret it at all. There aren't enough surprises in life, and I didn't want a pink or blue room anyway. My wife wanted to find out for the convenience of knowing what colour of clothes to buy, but she finally gave in and we opted for the surprise route.
It was actually pretty funny when he finally came out. The doctor held him up and said "do you want to announce to your wife if it is a boy or girl", and I agreed, but when they held him up his leg was up and I couldn't see the little twig and berries right away. So there was an awkward few seconds where I was leaning in trying to get a good look and all that came out of my mouth was: "Ummm? Ahhh? Ummmm?" until I could see it. The doctors and nurses thought that was funny.
The whole "I need to know whether to buy blur or pink" argument looks even more silly when you see how quickly they grow out of things. There will be plenty of time to buy gender-specific clothing when they grow out of most of their things in a couple of months.
