Team Green...or not??
When DH and I got pregnant with our DD, we said that if she was a girl, we would let it be a surprise at the birth with our 3rd (because at that point, we would already have one of each).
So...now we have DS and DD and #3 on the way...and DH says he doesn't know if he wants to wait. I know what he means, we are excited and a part of me wants to find out when possible! But another part of me is thinking that this may be our only chance to have that kind of surprise at birth...and we DO already have anything we would need for a boy or a girl!
DH and I have always felt like it was a surprise either way, you just find out sooner if you find out during an ultrasound. But I've read things about people who have done it both ways and they say it's a great experience. Any thoughts?
Also, for those who are Team Green, how did you ultimately decide this and what did you do if DH did want to know? (BTW, I think DH would give it away if he knew and I didn't).

i feel like i'm reading my own post! lol!
we had a girl first, 15 months later a boy, and now we aren't for sure of what we are having. we talked while pregnant with the other two and said if we get one of each we will wait till delivery to find out from there on out. now we are in the situation and my hubby automatically assumed we are going to find out (here in a couple weeks). I was shocked! so now he wants to know and I want... or wanted.. to wait until delivery. but i am so dag on anxious that i think I would to find out too. UGH.
We found out, and I wish we hadn't.
IMO if you find out you may regret it. But I don't think you'll regret waiting. The story ends the same.
Good luck!
This is my 4th child and my FI's first. So I am Team Green, and he is not! (we couldn't agree)
It's working out fine for us!
Dh desperately wanted to know with DS and I didn't... So we made a compromise. Team Green with #1, and because it was my decision he could decide with #2. he is leaning more towards finding out but I again do not want to know... It was so incredible last time I want that again.. But if he decides yes we will then I will get to experience both.. But I feel like I will be disappointed after we find out (thrilled at first for whatever it is, then disappointed we know already) but.. A promise is a promise. GL!
