I have one of each so I originally wanted to be team green and have that wow moment in the delivery room....then my anatomy scan got scheduled and now all I can do is think about finding out in two weeks. I'm going to do the very original cupcake reveal with just my DH and kids, so we will all find out together and it will still be a surprise instead of "oh yeah - there's a penis!" On the ultrasound.
I really wanna cave, my husband is begging to find out. I probably would cave at my scan in 2 weeks, but he won't be there to pressure me so I think I can get through it!!!
I never had any intentions of being team green. But I do have to say people that stick to it are amazing. Between my own inablility to wait and other people guessing what I'm having driving me insane, I couldn't wait until day of. Seriously, I can't handle another theory as to why my child has a penis or a vagina. Bravo team green ladies!
I was team green right up until this week. I didn't think I cared but omg-I-get-to-know-something-about-my-baby just took over. I am finding out on Monday and I'm so stupid excited about it. I guess because it's the first characteristic about them that I can know and it helps me call them by name.
In memory of the baby Hufflepuff and all the angel babies of D14
We were team green. Then, we lost one of the twins and as an attempt to try and connect to this pregnancy, we are no longer team green. We're hoping that by finding out more and more about our baby, we'll slowly start to believe it is real. Plus, DS says that he NEEDS to know! Not sure what will happen if he doesn't find out, but I don't wanna know!

I wanted to be team green, however, DH wanted to know. His grandmother, however, wants to be surprised and doesn't want to know baby's sex. I hope nobody in the family slips.
I think doing the sex reveal will be cool and give me that "wow" factor in looking for. At least I hope. DH really wants to find out, and he said he wouldn't be able to tell when the baby came out (unfortunately he is right lol). I can tell from first glance at the u/s so I hope I can make it through my anatomy scan without looking and just have the tech write it on a piece of paper for me to bring to a bakery. Then they better bake those effing cupcakes fast.
Im so on the fence. I was strongly team green, but I feel weird referring to my baby as "he or she". Plus Im a FTM and all of this is so new and exciting! DH really wants to know. My AS is in a week and half, so we'll see. I might cave, depending on my hormones that day, lol.
Team green! I don't want to have any clue as to what the gender is. So much that I've already told my OB not to say anything to DH & I under any circumstances. The anatomy scan isn't for another 3 weeks but I've already checked in and asked how do we go about making sure we done accidentally find out during the scan. The tech is going to tell DH and I to close our eyes when they go through that portion if the scan.

I had an elective ultrasound today to find out. Waiting I pick the cake tomorrow is making me crazy! I keep thinking there are people that know more about my baby than I do and it inside of me!! And it was so hard not to peak today during te scan. 22 more hours and ill know the babies sex. Can't wait!!
Props to anyone on team green! I have zero patience ad couldn't hold out.
We had every intention of being team green, then we found out my hubby is going to be deployed for this birth (he has missed the other two as well) so we found out. Hopefully we will have a chance to be team green at least once before we are done having kids
I had a dream the tech shouted out "it's a girl" during the u/s and I was so pissed. I'm nervous someone will accidentally tell me during the exam! Then in nervous I'll rip open the envelope before the bakery lol.
Re: Any other team greeners cave?

No way! We were team green for DD, and LOVED it, so there is no chance we will cave!
Us too. We waited for our first and it was ABS-FREAKING-LUTLEY worth the wait. We won't cave.
