QOTD: No we are NOT going to find out, so you can mark me TEAM GREEN!! This is a very mutual decision. Neither of us wants to find out. We think it's way more fun not to know until the delivery room, the good old fashioned way. We are not planners at all, so not knowing does not phase us in the least. We don't need gender specific stuff to make us feel ready. Plus, we can get gender specific stuff after the baby is born. As for our families, they think it's fun we don't want to know.
QOTD: Are you going to find out the gender of the baby? No! TEAM GREEN BABY!
Who's choice was it, mutual? yours and you convinced him or vice versa? We decided to make a compromise. We go team green this time, and next time (when we need to know where or not we need new clothing and stuff) we will find out.
What does your family say about your choice? It was our decision not theirs and I don't care what they say.
Happy Monday Everyone!
YES, we are planning on finding out the gender of the baby. Both of us are so very excited and can't wait to start buying things for the baby and want to personalize it as much as possible :-)
QOTD: If it is one baby we are not going to find out the gender. If it twins then we will find out the genders. Wierd, I know, but I swear there is more than one in there!!! I don't have my first appointment until Sept. 10th, then we'll see if doc wants to order an ultrasound. I personally want to know!!!

Busy day at work today!
QOTD: We both want to know and we didn't even really discuss it at all, LOL. I don't think anyone really cares if we find out or not. We haven't decided yet if we're going to tell people the sex when we find out. DH says it depends on how much people are bugging us, i.e. if you bug is too much, you might not get to find out until the baby is born:)
Hi Everyone!
Another one for TEAM GREEN! My husband and I are happy to keep the world guessing until our baby arrives. I wouldn't want to deprive my friends and relatives of the opportunity to take part in a baby gender pool. Just kidding. As for how we came to the decision, my husband and I simply agreed. Our families are just so thrilled (first grandchild for both sets of parents) that they are keeping mum and are happy to respect our decision. After all, that's how they chose to do it, too!
Looking forward to my first official check-up with my GP on Sept. 16. My GP has been fantastic taking care of me this far into the pregnancy, but I will need to let her know who I would like to take care of me and the baby from that point onward. That's right, I have yet to choose an OB-GYN!
We've elected not to tell our extended family and friends until we're safely into the 2nd Trimester, so have had to rule out asking for OB-GYN recommendations in case they put two and two together. How did you choose your Obstetrician?
So far, no morning sickness - just extreme smell aversions (coffee, bacon!) and incredible fatigue. I used to be so active, working out 5 to 7 days/week, but can barely manage to do half hour workouts now. I feel like such a slug! Can any of you relate? Sigh...
Please add me to the April Moms: meganneier - Megan - 4/23/10
I wanted to wait until our first ultrasound today to join. We saw the heartbeat and everything looks good!
As for finding out the gender...I want it to be a surprise, but my husband wants to find out. I think I'm going to give him this one b/c he's asked a bunch of times when we can find out.
We are team GREEN!
50/50 decision
QOTD: Yes, we are going to find out the gender. DH and I are both in agreement that we will find out---there is NO WAY I could wait until the day of delivery! I am too much of a planner and couldn't stand not knowing.
Update: I have my first appt. this Wednesday, so I am excited for that. We are telling our parents this weekend, so that will be fun.
I don't have you on my list? would you like to be added? You can share as little or as much info as you want. Standard for the group is username - real name - age and then i would put TEAM GREEN after your age. Let me know if you want to be added. thanks

QOTD: Yes, we are going to find out the gender. When we first talked about it, before we were even pregnant, I didn't think I wanted to, but DH did. After I thought about it for awhile and now that I am pregnant, I definitely want to find out, the sooner the better! Not all of our family knows about our decision yet, but the ones that do haven't said anything about it.
UPDATE: We had our 2nd u/s on Friday & saw the little babe & his/her heartbeat & then got to hear the heartbeat!!! It was so amazing!!! It was beating at 118bpm @ 7 weeks. And I officially graduated from the RE!!! So I have an appointment to meet with the midwives that I'm considering using tonight & I'll make my decision between midwives vs. OB. Also, m/s is still here in full force & making me miserable. Sea bands & keeping food in my stomach pretty much constantly are the only things that sometimes help. As soon as I decide on a doctor I will be asking about Zofran.
Update after U/S:Had 2nd U/S this morning - EDD was changed to 4/24/10.
QOTD: Team Green for DH and I. It was a mutal decision because, as we see it, God only gives us so many surprises like this in our life time, why not wait it out and enjoy the moment when it comes? Plus, we love the idea of doing the nursery in greens, yellows, browns and whites. Just beautiful.
It's driving our friends and family NUTS. More than one person has said, "Oh, you need to find out. How else are you going to bond with it?" Pishaw, right. Like I can't love my DC until I know whether he's a he or she's a she. Good grief. 
So, darling Jenni, could you please put a big Team Green! next to my name. GRACIAS! 
I feel like I get home from work too late to participate in these!
QOTD: We will be finding out the gender. We never thought we would, always wanted it to be a surprise and now that it's real we can't wait!
Hi there!! I'd love to be added to the list! My bump name info is:
Suzi2tie, Suzanne, age 28, due date April 13th
We are going to find out the sex of the baby. I think it will help me to be more at ease with preparations, etc... although, before it was a decision I was really faced with, I always thought I would want to be surprised!!
QOTD: Are you going to find out the gender of the baby? YES! Who's choice was it, mutual? mutal What does your family say about your choice? i think that having our 1st child at our age, they don't really give it a thought.
update on me--we had a follow-up u/s this last week at 7w2d, b/c at the 1st u/s the dr. had concerns b/c the yolk sac was smaller than he wanted to see and my 3rd hcg beta was only 1/2 what he wanted to see (800-1000). well, the follow-up u/s went very well, the baby showed a full week's growth from the week before and the heartbeat went up from 118 bpm (1st u/s) to 138 bpm (2nd u/s). my hcg was much closer to what he wanted to see me (no where near 1/2 of where he wanted it). we do have another one this week (RE is very conservative), and will not have one for a while after that, if the baby continues to show good progress.

Hello!
I am just wondering what all the shortands mean.
DS, DH, DD?
Mark me for *TEAM GREEN*
we didnt find out with my son. I wanted to know..hubbie didnt when we had our first and only U/s they couldnt see what the baby was.
This time iwould like to find out but hubbie doesnt we both really liked the suprise so im pretty sure were not finding out till the big day!! *Hoping for BLUE*
Hey all!
Please change my EDD from 4/8/10 to 4/15/10. Had 1st appointment with u/s last Thursday--all looks good and that heartbeat is the most amazing thing ever!
QOTD: Mark me as Team Green. It's always been sort of an unspoken thing between hubby and I that we'd wait. We're suckers for a surprise.
Hey I need my due date changed to April 11th ( it was the 1st). We just found out today that I am 8 weeks and 3 days but everything looks good.
QOTD:
We will find out what we are having, I don't have the patience to wait. DH wanted to wait but I convinced him that we should find out so we can make arrangements for it. I have been toying with the idea of just us knowing what the baby is, but now that we find out December 1 I am thinking of using it as a Christmas present.
QOTD: Are you going to find out the gender of the baby? If you aren't and want me to mark TEAM GREEN next to your name let me know! Who's choice was it, mutual? yours and you convinced him or vice versa? What does your family say about your choice?
Nope. Team Green!! It was my idea, DH hasn't gotten all the way on board yet, but I think I can convince him. We haven't mentioned it to family yet, so who knows. But I think it will be fun to not know.
We are absolutely finding out the sex.... I could not wait till the end, I would explode with curiosity. It was a mutual decision for us and I think my parents would be upset if we didnt... Dh's family would be fine either way.
I like to be able to plan and not have a whole closet of yellow and green.
I just wanted to give you all an update for the check-in. My EDD date is different from what I estimated (finally went to see the doctor). My new EDD is 4/20/2010 (instead of 4/25).
Are you going to find out the gender of the baby? If you aren't and want me to mark TEAM GREEN next to your name let me know! Who's choice was it, mutual? yours and you convinced him or vice versa? What does your family say about your choice?
H and I are definately finding out the sex of our baby. I am too "type A" not to be able to buy/prepare for my baby. H keeps joking with me how impatient I am about the sex of this baby. The decision is mutual. He wants to know too. Our family is all for knowing the sex; my moms keeps trying to find ways to know sooner, lol!
