Which team are you on?

femmepink

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but where do you stand right now?

What are your reasons for your choice? We're still undecided. I'd love to have that final motivation at the end to get through labor and have that surprise, but at the same time, I don't know if I have the willpower to wait.

I don't want to find out...but I'm weirdly certain it's a girl. We'll see in July!

YellowLily2013

This is my first, so it'd be fun to have a surprise! I'm feel and hope it's a boy. No idea why exactly.

Also, want to be team green so that we get gender neutral things for future babies. :]

Me too - I don't want to have to get all new stuff if I have a girl one time, and a boy the next. Seems most thrifty

We were team green last time so this time we are finding out. I have a big feeling it is a boy and I want to be prepared with clothes and things. Plus I think it will help me connect more with the baby and prepare DD a little better.

I didn't even think about having to prepare DD. She's so young I don't think she knows the difference between boys and girls yet but maybe that's something I need to consider. Hmmm

It's probably more for me. I have a bit of anxiety and just want to be able to tell her brother or sister. I am sure it would not matter to her.

We are team finding out, simply because every person in our family is leaning towards hoping it is a girl.  My husband and I will probably only have one, and we have his son (my stepson) already, so the idea of one of each is fun.  I can't deal with 9 months of not knowing, and if it is a boy, I want us all have plenty of time to get excited about all the wonderful aspects of having a boy!  I know I'd be ultimately be happy either way, I just want a healthy little one.

We found out for DS1 and DD1 but did not find out our third pregnancy which ended up being DS2! Best birth day ever! It was fun finding out during pregnancy for the first two, but such a wonderful surprise in the delivery room.  Since we have EVERYTHING we could possibly need, we are going to be TEAM GREEN again!

jillian527

We found out both times with our other kids and this time we are not. I just think it will be something different and am really excited for the surprise in the end!

JenniferF11

I don't think I could take not knowing - I would probably drive myself crazy! I'm on team find out as of right now.

manateemom

We found out last time, and will be finding out this time too. I just need to know.

andrea0418

We desperately need a boy in the family. 9/10 cousins on my dads side are girls, I have 2 sisters, 2 stepdaughters and my parents 1st only grandchild so far is a girl!! I think we are going to keep it a secret till the baby shower and reveal it in a cute way! Blue or pink filled cupcakes maybe!!

paradebegone

I want to find out and DH is on the same page.  But is it possible to keep it a secret from everyone else?  Only because I would HATE to have exclusively blue things or pink things!  I would prefer more neutral colors or at lease some variation.  Is that possible?

NiciDoni

I am just way too much of a planner to not know. Maybe after the first couple, but even then...Mrs. Impatient over here!

I've wondered this as well.

I don't know. I'm sure it'd be hard.

christi7109

We want to find out ASAP! I'm thinking this will be our only pregnancy so I'm okay with going a little crazy on gender specific items:

OMGsMOM

We were team Green with DS.  We already knew we were having a baby just wanted something to be a suprise especially after 10 weeks of bedrest.

countingthestars

We will definitely be finding out. We found out with DD and I know we both couldn't wait until the baby is born to find out lol.

Can you imagine if neither of us found out? The family would go nuts. Bwahaha!

Team Green this time because I thought it would be fun to be surprised. We found out with DS.

If you have a shower, just register for gender neutral items.

We found out with DS and got all gender neutral items because we knew we'd have more kids. We're finding out this time because I'm a planner and I need to know! Especially if it's a girl, I'd need to be prepared with girly clothes.

RN0107

We were team green with DS and it was amazing. We will be team green again this time. The moment DS was born and DH told me we had a son was so special. It makes me teary to think about it still.

vettle

I want to know but I won't be telling anyone except a couple friends. The reason being is that when people know what you're having they automatically buy you gender specific things, which who can blame them! I am a more practical person and would rather be given things I need for baby instead of clothing.

OMG!! I can just picture there faces!! It's our decision they can just deal! But with everything we talked about the other night for us its better to find out. If you know what I mean.

RunningGal900

I liked being able to refer to my son by his name and he instead of the baby. It made me feel even more connected to him. I never worried that he would be born and not look like his name, because that was his name. 

CutieGirlLissie

I've always known that we would find out the sex of the baby. It may sound really lame but I want to know so I can decorate the nursery appropriately and buy non gender neutral clothes etc... Plus, once I know the sex I can finally know what name we are using and then talk to the baby with their name, it will feel more real...

valstulas

I found out with my first and was so disappointed that I knew after the fact. My bf and I decided to go Team Green for our second, but the ultrasound tech slipped up and leaked the surprise. Finally we got our surprise for 3 and it was soooo much fun! We are going Team Green again this time around and we are so excited about it. Good luck with your decision!

Not trying to persuade you one way or the other, but I kind of have a funny story about that.

So, my sister had her twins (a boy and a girl) when her oldest son (D) was a year old. Well, her boy twin (J) came home from the hospital a week earlier than the girl twin (A) so she stayed at the hospital with A and my mom kept both boys. (Ex-BIL had shingles and couldn't be around the kids.) When she brought A home, D  freaked out and started crying the first time he saw A without her diaper. Apparently, up until that point, he had only seen himself, J, and his daddy naked and he thought everyone had a penis. He kept pointing at her crotch, crying, and looking concerned.

Our hysterical howls of laughter when we figured out what was wrong didn't help the matter any.

OMFG that is AMAZING/HILARIOUS

I love this! So funny.

I was Team Green with my first, so with her being much older...I want to find out so I can tell her whether she's having a brother or a sister.

weaslewam

I want to find out because there are going to be enough surprises about our baby before he/she's born. I would rather be able to prepare and plan. Especially when it comes to finding cute outfits!!!

Bubs06

DD1 we found out
DD2 team green

This time I am Team Green, but my DH thinks he wants to know. So he may find out, but he can't tell a soul. It makes me nervous because I can read him like a book. We'll see if that's his final decision.

queenbone

We're going to be team green again as we were for DS1. DH changed his mind at the last minute and wanted to find out at the anatomy scan for DS2. And you know, they are pushing on your full bladder and I was so uncomfortable I agreed just so they would stop pushing on me and I could pee. I regret that decision, not because I didn't want to have two sons, but because instead of enjoying the rest of my pregnancy I was fretting about how I could get a daughter next.

So this time I'd rather wait and find out in the operating room. There will be so much activity and excitement and sleeplessness that I won't have time to fret; I can just enjoy my baby, whoever he or she may be.

queenbone

One of the big reasons I was team green our 1st pregnancy is because I hate pink. I went to a cousin's baby shower right after I found out we were pregnant. She had like 50 people there and I swear everyone but my mom and me bought her a pink outfit. It was awful, IMO. I know if I ever have a girl people may buy her pink things, but I wanted to avoid it for as long as possible!

ngarciabyu

We found out with DS. I just think it will be exciting to find out the day of delivery. And I'm not much of a pink or blue fan so everything we got for DS was gender neutral. The only think I would need to brush up on is clothes after delivery. But there are plenty of gender neutral clothing to last a while until I get stuff.
