What made you decide to be team green?
We have one of each already so I thought it would make this pregnancy more exciting to keep it a mystery. I also worried that my daughter would be disappointed if it was a boy if we found out while I was pregnant but I feel pretty confident she will fall in love quickly when she meets the baby in person.

Who is more excited to be team green- you or your partner?
I am way more excited than my husband. It took a lot of convincing to get him on board. He felt he needed to plan. He keeps saying it would easier to pick a name if we just found out.

Do you have the option still to know or are you completely locked in? If you can still know, Are you tempted to find out?
We had them keep it off our records when doing the ultrasound so no one would slip up and tell us. I do have to have another ultrasound at 32 weeks so hopefully the baby doesn’t spoil the surprise for us and I don’t cave and find out!

What made you decide to be team green?

This is our first and the plan is to have more so I want to make sure the gifts I recieve are not all pink or blue. My family has a tendency to buy extremely gendered products if they know. I have a cousin who isn't girly who was having a girl and politely requested not to recieve pink because she didn't want her daughter in pink, purple was okay, but she hated pink. Everything she got was pink. Pink carseats, pink bedding, pink swing. It's was like puking pepto. So if we don't find out I'll get items I actually want because they won't be pink or blue. Also I think the surprise is a lot of fun. 

Who is more excited to be team green- you or your partner?

Definitely me. He wants to know because he says it will help him get over the fact that it's a girl sooner. He said he's not going at looking happy when he's disappointed. I told him he'll love her just as much regardless, and when he carries the child issue him for 9 months, he can decide if we find out the sex or not.

I don't believe we can find out. The US tech said she couldn't get a clear view and I don't think I'll have another us so here's to crossing my fingers that it's a surprise.

We decided not to find out our baby's gender early on in my pregnancy. My husband was the one that suggested it and I'm indifferent to having a son or a daughter so I agreed. I also work with young infants and a few of my parents told me that they waited and how great of an experience it was for them. I was then completely on board. I also don't want all blue or pink things for our baby so waiting means people have to get neutral color things which I love!! We told my doctor before our 20 week that we didn't want to know and he made sure to put it in the notes. So the only person that knows is the tech and she made sure not to say a word. My Dr doesn't even know

We started out team green because I didn't want to know. We just had a boy two years ago so we don't need any of the big things... in fact if it's a boy we don't need anything at all. 

However, I have recently been diagnosed with new onset depression and I think part of that is because I seem to have a lot of anxiety about how much I may need to prepare if it is a girl vs boy so now we are considering finding out. 

Baby's name is the same either way so that never mattered much to us.

We decided to be team green because it’s our first — we are so excited for either a boy or girl. Since it’s all fun we wanted it to be a surprise. I’m not sure either of us is more excited to be team green - actually both of us felt really strongly about not finding out the sex. I’m convinced it’s a boy, I keep dreaming of boys and my husband is sure it’s a girl, so we’ll see! Our doctors know but we have it marked on our chart “gender surprise” so they won’t tell us. Actually everyone in the doc’s office has been really supportive - it’s fun!

This is our second, so we felt like these was less ‘firsts’ and ‘surprises’ this time around, and what better surprise than the gender could there be?! 

We also have lots of baby stuff from the first round, so not many new purchases need to be made anyways. 

Who is more excited to be team green- you or your partner?

We’re both excited. I have a hunch it’s a boy, and he thinks girl. It’s fun to keep guessing.

We could still find out from our doctor, but aren’t tempted to ask. If it slips, we will still be excited either way, we know it happens.
