Funny suggestion from my friend re: being team green

Mrs.Greg

DH and I are team green. We are really excited to find out the babies' sexes when they are born but we are so curious right now! My friend suggested finding out the sex of just one baby and letting the other one be a surprise. We were team green with DD so we've never experienced finding out the sex during the ultrasound. This time we could do it both ways. What do you ladies think??

I don't think that I would be able to know the gender of one without then having to know the other but I am weak.  I could barely wait the half hour or so between finding out Baby A's sex at the anatomy scan before we found out Baby B's.

A lot of people told us to do that, but we wanted both to be a surprise at birth.  This situation accidentally happened to my coworker who had twins 14 years ago...the doctor doing the u/s said "There's the scrotum" while scanning Baby B. Oops! They still decided not to find out what Baby A was. (It ended up being a girl.)

I wouldn't - it just wouldn't seem fair. I could never be team green, that would drive me crazy not knowing. I didn't want all GN clothing. Kudos to team greeners for not finding out though, you have more patience than me!

Exactly this! After she told us baby a's sex she did all the measurements for her and I just wanted to say "omg do the measurements later, tell us what baby b is!" lol!

like pp i dont think i would be able to know one without the other...our OB actually told us that he's convinced baby a is a girl..but couldnt see baby b.. i have asked my DH not to mention the 'girls' name..because i dont want baby b to feel neglected because we dont know what it is..

i say if you can wait the whole time..go ahead & do it!

I think it'd be hard to not accidentally find out about the other. Plus, I'd worry about bonding more with one baby than the other... but maybe I'm being hypersensitive?

I went team green for DD and we are having our Anat Scan tomorrow and I can't wait.

I wouln't be able to know one baby's sex and not the other's, I would go crazy.

I think it's all or nothing, GL!!!

I couldn't handle it!  We found out Baby A was a boy at a cervical length check, 2 weeks before the anatomy scan.  It was my favorite tech and I asked her to peek and, of course, boy parts are clear as day.  Baby B was not cooperative and we had to wait until the anatomy scan, although she told us if she had to guess it was a girl.

As someone who has always wanted a DD and hoped it would be B/G twins, that wait for the anatomy scan was agonizing.  I couldn't know one without the other.

Kudos to the Team Green moms.  That takes so much willpower to not find out!

I suggested the same thing to my DH!  But he said it was a stupid idea.  I actually wanted to find out if one of them was a boy (not necessarily know which one) and then have the other be a surprise.  Well, it turns out it wouldn't have worked anyway since they're both girls.
