Someone talk me down!

I have been an avid "Team Greener", since day one. We also stayed team green with DS, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Nothing tops that surprise. Anyway, I have already 5 ultrasounds so far this PG, and have stayed true through each. I will be having a few more U/S, and with each one I get a little more antsy about finding out. I may be having one at the end of this week, and I am so afraid I'm gonna cave! Someone remind why I'm staying team green.

I have another one tomorrow to see whether or not I'm having a toddler. I'm already prepared to tell them as I walk in the door - I do not know the sex nor do I want to.

It's tempting but I'm so close to the end I would be devastated if the surprise was blown now.?

Anyone who can wait to find out has more will power then I do! You have aleady made it this far, dont peek now!

This is exactly how I feel. I know I would never forgive myself if I found out. As much as I like having alot of ultrasounds, it just makes it that much more tempting. The techs never help either. All they can talk about is how odd it is that I don't wan't to know.

remember it's one of the only true surprises you get in life. enjoy it and don't rush. i know it's tempting. fight it !!!!

no one i know ever regreted waiting.

HeyyRed

My techs almost hugged me because they thought it was amazing I don't want to know.

Honestly I can't help you. I was soooo excited to find out - I'd never have that much discipline!

I can't imagine how hard it is to wait but you have made it this far you can keep it up.  You would hate to blown it now.  Good luck!

I wish, mine have all been real ass*s about it.

HeyyRed

I'm going to the hospital's ultrasound department tomorrow instead of the one across the street. Here's hoping they aren't biatches.

Not knowing gives you more motivation to push "it" out.  Luckily I only had one US with DS or I would've caved!  It's so worth it though!  Unfortunately with this one I feel like I have to find out because I can't afford to buy all pink at once if it's a girl so this way I can buy a little at a time.  I loved not knowing- it sucked up until the delivery day but it was so exciting watching this baby coming out not knowing what it was!

I know it's hard, but you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!   I'm doing the same thing adn it'll be totally worth it...all that labor will be done and you'll have this beautiful little miracle they'll put in your arms and then you'll be so surprised because by that point you'll have probably forgotten they come in 2 kinds!

Don't do it!!! Just remember how much fun that was the first time.

We are having twins and we aren't finding out the sexes, which is doubly hard! And it is even harder when you have multiple ultrasounds like I had/will have and sounds like you have also.

For me, DH keeps me honest since he is so dead set against not finding out.

I am a Team Greener as well. We have our next u/s in a couple weeks and I completely understand the temptation of knowing at the next appt. BUT, the surprise and the joy you'll feel at the birth knowing that you waited will be much more worth it!

Feelings aside, no sex declaration is 100% until the baby is born. I have two separate friends this happened to where it was a boy until SHE was born!

Girl, you only have 15 weeks left to go! You can do it...stay strong! That moment with your baby will be well worth it. And just think of how proud you'll feel of yourself for staying true to your decision.

I have no idea.  But more power to you!  I could never do it.  I like being prepared and I don't get the whole "there just aren't any surprises in the world these days."  What's with that? 

Genevieved

They aren't always 100% right, I would  rather the surprise of finding out if it is a boy or girl on the b-day.  As to the surprise of it a... but we were told it was a .....

 We are going to wait but it is hard because their are lots of other pregnant women around me and they all pretty much know and at times I think i would like to know.  But we will stay Green.

I was also told the 1st time with my DD that it was a boy.  That is enough motivation for me not to find out.  Everything was the blue clothes, bedding, room etc... I was so upset.  Don't cave you will be happy you waited.

You can do it!

I really wanted to find out with the first pregnancy, and am so glad that I did. But I know now that when we decide to have a second child, I will want to wait and be surprised. That way I can experience it both ways.

I just had a big fear and a lot of misgivings about having a girl first, and wanted time to ease my mind into it...

STAY GREEN!!!
