Anyone else going to be team green?

Both of us are super curious--it's our first--but we're still planning on waiting to find out.

I hate to say it, but it's less about wanting it to be a surprise at the birth and more about not wanting to end up with a bunch of over-gendered baby stuff. 

It's a baby, it doesn't care if it wears pink or blue. And there is a ton of cute gender neutral stuff out there!

Team Green here too!

We found out w/ my DS. I want this one to be a surprise!! Yay!

We aren't going to find out.  Mostly because I agree it is one of those few great surprises.  And I figure the baby has a life of gender assumptions etc ahead so why start early.

We're Team Green!!

I want DH to have that proud moment at the hospital to announce our son or daughter.

We'll be trying something a little unconventional.  MH will be finding out but he is the only one that will.  Not sure how that is going to work quite yet.  Pretty sure we're going to have to keep that a secret or people will be bugging him like crazy to try to find out!

we did this with our first.  I was adamant about not knowing and if I wasn't going to know neither was anybody else besides DH.  he got the envelope from the u/s and looked at it when he was alone.  he then told everybody (including me) that he decided not to look.  he spent the rest of the pregnancy picking both girl and boy names, etc.  It can be done, you dh just has to have a lot of discipline.

I have always wanted to find out and be able to plan and buy all the cute gender specific clothes, etc. But my best friend just had a baby a month ago and they werent able to tell the gender at the anatomy scan so they were team green. She said that it was the best surprise hearing the dr say "Its a ----". So I definitely want to be team green.

We're team green also.  My IL's are crazy about buying gender-specific things, and we're the more frugal/want to use as much as we can for each child types. So we're not finding out for two reasons.  1) We really don't care which sex we have and will be thrilled to bring either sex home from the birth center; 2) Don't want bunches of gender-specific gifts.  Honestly, we would love it if people didn't get us gifts and just supported us in other ways (bringing over dinner, spending time together, etc), but since we have generous families, we know they will--so we'd like the gifts to be useful in the future too.
