Hi ladies! Hope you are all staying warm!

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share!

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).

How far along are you?
26 weeks, 4 days! I keep losing track!

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good aside from some back pain and heartburn!

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like!

We like Alexander for a boy and Pearl for a girl!


Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share!

Not really! I can't wait to find out though!

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).

Mine are gold from NYE! (Sounds more wild than it was - we just went to a movie lol). Guess I'm having a boy!

How far along are you? 26w4d

How are you feeling? Pretty good, but tired.. I think I've reached the too uncomfortable to sleep phase.

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! DH has been difficult on this. We haven't found any names that he really likes. He says that if the baby comes and he still hasn't heard one he likes, I get to pick one of the ones that he is just okay with. For a boy, I have Ethan, and Nicholas at the top of my list. For a girl: Elizabeth (with ellie as a nickname) or Juliana

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! 

Nothing really yet. 

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol)

natural right now so boy, lol.

How are you feeling? Feeling OK! Probably the best I have all pregnancy. Still having nausea daily but it's gradually improving. It may be gone by the time the baby comes, LoL

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! Nothing deciced yet but we are whittling away and working on a short list

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! Not really! I do need to go through our sons newborn and 0-3 month clothes to see if there is anything gender neutral and buy some gender neutral necessities for the first few weeks though. Clothing is were I am falling flat in terms of my preparations right now.

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol). I have a chipped of patch on red polish on my big toenails so I guess it's a girl! LoL

How far along are you?  25 weeks and 5 days

How are you feeling? Good! having trouble sleeping 

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! DH and I are on the same page Already have the names: Reagan Mae for a girl & Joseph David for a boy. 

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! No fears I just keep having dreams about giving birth: one night it's a girl, the next night it's a boy, hehe.

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).  Neutral, however I just bought some pink nail polish this last weekend, I just have been lazy and not wanting to paint them :P

@leeroy80, Do whatever feels right but I will tell you that my husband calling out "it's a boy!!!" was the best moment in my life and something I will never ever forget! Life has so few pleasant surprises.

joyfullyfound

How far along are you? 23 weeks 3 days!

How are you feeling? Awesome, can't complain. Some insomnia, but nothing I can't remedy with a nap while DD naps in the afternoons

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? We're completely on the same page, I feel really fortunate that way. We have the same taste in names and the same goals for what a good name should achieve, etc. We know MN for a boy will be Richard (long tradition in DH's family) and for a girl will be Isla (means island, and I grew up on an island, so it speaks to my upbringing, love of nature, being a west coast girl, etc). For first names we have a list of 3 top names for each sex, with some extras constantly being introduced and taken off, haha. 

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? We were team green with DD, and she was born in a hospital. Our midwife and doula specifically told the nurses that we didn't know the sex of the baby, and that I wanted DH to be the one to tell me. Well, an instant after DD was born, some nurse blurted out, "It's a girl!" then slapped her hand over her mouth, haha. DH didn't hear her, and he still thinks he was the one who got to tell me first... :P

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol). I just took off my pink nail polish yesterday! So, a boy for me!

Gestation: 27w3d

feeling: good. A little heartburn/reflux appeared recently. I get a lot of pressure down south by the end of the day, I'll be asking about that at my appt in Friday

Names: girl we're at a loss, but contemplating Sienna. Boy we're in a fight to the death between Sullivan Joseph and Calvin Edward. Callum just came into play for a boy too (I like Calvin, but dd is Avelin, and I don't like that it's all the same letters).

Team green fears: DD will want to send a boy back.

Toes: indicate boy.

@JuneDay2913 my sister is a Reagan- I love it!

@Leeroy80- hold out! I had it in an envelope last time & held it up to a window to cheat, and really wish I hadn't.

How far along are you? 26w2d - less than 100days!!

How are you feeling? Tired. I'm not as exhausted as I was in the 1st tri, but I never really got the endless energy so many other mom's mentioned. I'll take being able to make it from 6am to 10:30pm without a nap though (okay, maybe a nap every so many days)

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! DH and I have had names since week 15. Although, we're not telling anyone.

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! I'm starting to freak out that the baby's room isn't done. We just started working on it yesterday (it was a workout room before, so it needs lots of work!)

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol). Natural color! Must be a boy We'll have to remember this later and let everyone know if it was right!

How far along are you? 25w4d

How are you feeling? Stupid sciatic pain in my left back/leg for the past few weeks and no time to go to the chiropractor  I did get a belly brace thing and that has helped a bit.

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! We have been on the same page with names... we can't pick one for a boy!! I have a poll in my siggy of some random names if anyone wants to rate them. Still nothing we are totally in love with, though. I'm really frustrated with it. We have a set list of favorite girl names, but our current fave is Clover. 

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! When I saw family for Christmas and told them we weren't finding out, everyone was really excited and happy about that.

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol). Red/purple, so girl for me!

How far along are you?

26 weeks!

How are you feeling?

Feeling great- finally getting an appetite back

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! 
We have decided on a boy's name, but not on a girl's name (I am superstitious so I won't share).  I bought some baby name book last week and DH has been going through them....hopefully we will agree soon!

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! 

Every once in a while I feel like, 'maybe we should find out...' but that quickly passes.  I was convinced for the past couple of months that I was having a boy, but recently I have been thinking- it could be a girl

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).

PINK!

25w5d. Feeling well, just starting to get tired again. Girls names we are doing ok and have a few faves. Boy names are stumping us. I had DS1 name picked out for a decade, so now nothing seems as good.
Nothing exciting to report, still have a feeling that this baby is a girl.
Toenails are neutral, so maybe I'm wrong.
The surprise is DEFINITELY worth it. Hang in there.

JuneDay2913

 @ksulli Thank you Reagan was the only name that DH agreed on for a girl.

Love seeing all our Team Green ladies checking in!!! The suspense is starting to get to me! I was just LOLing thinking that in a few years how funny it would be to see this toenail colour chart as an old wives tale floating around the internet. We will definitely have to save our answers to go back and check, even though it is absolute silliness.

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?
Tired, sore and so much heartburn
Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! 
Girl: Valerie          Boy: Haiden/Hayden
Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share! 
Not really
And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).

Lol mine are painted green

Wurrkingurrl

How far along are you?  27 weeks 1 day... 90 days to go!!!

How are you feeling?  Still dizzy, and so tired!  

Let's talk names! How is the conversation coming along - are you and DH on the same page? Share your top boy and girl names here, if you would like! We have decided on a first name for a girl, and debating between two boys names... DH chose the girl name, so he said I can choose the boy, but I just can't decide!  And we don't have middle names for either!  ">

Any anxieties, fears, or funny stories about being team green? Share!  Nope.... so many people think we are crazy for not finding out, but I have known since before I even met DH that I didn't want to know

And just for fun - what colour are your toenails right now? If it's pink/red you're having a girl, if it's natural or another colour it's a boy. (Just made that up lol).  Haha... peach, so I guess that makes it a girl, though for whatever reason, I think it's going to be a boy... maybe because I know that DH wants one so badly, though if it is a girl, I won't have to make that name decision, lol!

@redjellybean128  I love Nicholas and Juliana!!!
