With my last pregnancy, I obsessed SO MUCH about whether I was having a boy or a girl. I couldn't wait to find out. I thought I'd be more zen about it this time around, but I'm not. I can't wait to get to that 20w scan!
So since it's on my mind, here's a GTKY poll:
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out?
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference?
3. Does your SO have a preference?
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having?
Re: GTKY: baby gender poll
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Undecided - DH wants to find out but keep it a secret, and there is no way I can keep that secret if I find out!!!!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? Torn. This is our first and we definitely would like one of each, and I lean towards a boy first b/c older brothers and younger sisters tend to get along better than the other way around, I think. But two of my female cousins who I was really tight with growing up (there are 4 of us within 2 years age of each other) just had girls (one in late Dec and one in April) and I know most of the family kind of wants to see "the next generation" of close girl cousins happen. I would love that too
And if we were only able to have one gender, for me I would want girls.
3. Does your SO have a preference? Yes! He really wants a boy, to carry on the family name
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? N/A
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Nope
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Finding out, but not sure if we will share IRL.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I am actually a lot less antsy than I was the first time. If I had a preference, it would be another boy for DS. We aren't finished having kids, so 2 boys first would be great.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He is scared of having a girl someday.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? DS will be 2 in September. We found out with him.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Not really, but I didn't the first time either. Hmm, if I had to guess I would guess BOY. It's all I know and can compare it to

2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I wouldn't mind having a boy. My sister just had a girl, so I think it would be cool if there was a boy this time.

4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? This is our first.

1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? finding out
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I thinkDh and I would be overjoyed to have another boy so H can have a brother. But a girl would be a new welcomed adventure!
3. Does your SO have a preference? He really wants a boy, same as the first time.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? We have a son, we found out at the ant scan at 18 w and we both cried happy tears. Funny enough we had both absently chose blue to wear that day and the u/s tech pointed it out.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? no clue this time, it changes daily.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? finding out for sure!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? i don't. there are so many benefits to either one, i really don't care
3. Does your SO have a preference? he wants a girl
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? yes, we found out with DS
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? i think girl but i think that's more b/c I know how bad DH wants a girl.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Undecided. My DH wants to and I want to wait. We'll see!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? Actually, not even a little bit. I really wanted a girl during my last pregnancy, but this time I will be thrilled with either.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He actually told me he hopes we have twins so that we can have a boy and a girl because he doesn't know which he wants more!
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?I have a 20 month old and we did not find out. I had them lay her on me so I could be the "first" to find out. I almost forgot to look, I was so excited to finally hold her!
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I keep having dreams about having a baby boy. So, we'll see I guess!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? maybe a boy, but I am town and have reasons to want both.
3. Does your SO have a preference? I would say boy.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? Yes, we found out with both. However, our US with DS was wrong. We were told he was a she....he is very much a boy.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Nah, not yet.
I so wish we had found out but kept it a secret last time. We ended up with SO MUCH girly stuff, especially pink - and I hate pink. I would have much preferred to keep it gender neutral, and even though I tried to let people know that, they bought us mostly pink stuff anyway. Especially the grandparents! I'm not saying we weren't grateful for all the wonderful and generous gifts we received. But I am saying that it would make it a lot easier this time around if we have a boy if most of the stuff we have already wasn't so girly!
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Team Green
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? Yes, besides the healthy baby secretly I would love to have a boy first

BFP 1/4/2014 EDD September 14 2014
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Team Green
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I really want to have at least 1 girl. Having her the first time around would relieve any pressure, so that would be nice. I think my dream combo is a boy and then a girl, but if I have a boy first I'll be worried about having a 2nd boy. I'm fine with 2 girls, I'd just rather not have 2 boys. That said, with timing, I'm pretty sure this one will end up being a boy, and I'll still be thrilled if he's healthy
3. Does your SO have a preference? Nope
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? no
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I think it's a boy. We weren't ttc, we were waiting for my hcg to drop after my m/c so we could try again. There's only 1 night that could have possibly led to conception and based on betas and u/s dating, we think I o'd that night or the day before. Only boy swimmers are that fast, so I really think it's going to be a boy.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Team Green
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? If we could chose an order, I would love to have a boy first then a girl, or heck even another boy. But boy first.
3. Does your SO have a preference? Boy, but he'd be just as happy with a little girl
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? No other kids
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? SO thinks it is a boy, because I got so angry and annoyed at everything one day he said it must me all the extra testosteron in my body from the little baby boy in me haha.
I don't know yet, I have dreams of boys and girls still.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Finding out all the way! There will be enough surprises.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I would like a girl.
3. Does your SO have a preference? DH wants a boy first so that if we ever have a girl, she'll have an older brother to watch out for her.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?Nope. This is our first.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I think I'm having a girl, but that may just be wishful thinking.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Definitely finding out... I'll consider going Team Green if we are lucky enough to have a Number 2!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? A year ago, I would have said GIRL, without a doubt. But I'm really excited for either option now... And I'm almost leaning towards Boy.3. Does your SO have a preference? Kind of the same deal as me... a year ago, he would have said BOY... but I don't think he has a preference at all now.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? N/A
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Not really... Baby Psychic {Whack-a-doo, I know} said Boy... and she was right about our conception / BFP month... so who knows?
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out?
Definitely finding out. I'm a planner and need to know.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference?
Well I want both and it doesnt really matter much to me which comes first, but I REALLY want a girl, so I guess I'd say I'd rather get that one out of the way first.
3. Does your SO have a preference?
He definitely wants a boy..hes a huge sports fanatic/former athlete, so he's ready to have a boy to share that with.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?
n/a
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having?
I have in my head it's a boy...but that could just be because thats what the chinese gender predictor says!
Home Renovations Blog!
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Finding out!!! Our 20 wk ultrasound will be the week of our 1 yr anniversary of being married... so we will have the doctor write it on a piece of paper and close it up... and we will open it and find out at dinner on our anniversary date! That is if the baby wants to show us!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I only know girls.... I have 3 nieces and always watched girls... So ideally for me would be healthy first but girl would be my first choice. In the end I'd LOVE one of each.
3. Does your SO have a preference? Boy- but he definately would love one of each
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? This is our first
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? No idea...
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out?
Will try to be Team Green this time. This is our last baby and we found out last time so would be interesting to try it the other way.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference?
There are pluses and minuses to either but I'm more leaning toward wanting a girl. This is mainly for the pretty pink dresses lol. Another boy would be great too as DS might be closer with a brother and we have all the clothes he'd ever need.
3. Does your SO have a preference?
I think he wants another boy. He doesn't think he can handle a teenage girl lol.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?
I have a 3 year old boy. We did find out with him.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having?
I'm thinking boy.
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? We are definitely finding out because we have a son (just turned 3) and want to prepare him as much as possible and that way we can tell him it is a baby sister or baby brother named either Colton or Kenley.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I want a girl because I secrelty like our girl name better than our boy name but I want a boy because I'm scared of teen years with a girl!
3. Does your SO have a preference? He just wants a baby that looks like him - DS is my little clone and he would love to have one look like him.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? We have a son and yes we found out - I am too much of a planner to not know!
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I've had two people tell me it's a girl - and I think it is as well, but we shall see!
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Don't know, probably finding out though.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I don't have a preference either way.
3. Does your SO have a preference? he wants a boy
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? n/a
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I'm thinking there's a greater chance of having a girl since we didn't BD the same day as O. My MIL (who doesn't know I'm pregnant yet) is convince we'll have a boy since her daughter had a girl, and therefore her son will have a boy
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Finding out!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I'm torn. I'd love to have a little boy, but at the same time I think it would be fun (and maybe easier on the wallet in the beginning) to have two girls.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He actually wants another girl. He's the last male on his side. If we don't have a boy his last name won't continue.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? We have one other baby. We did find out with her, there was no way we were going to wait!
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Some days I say he and some days I say she. I really don't know.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Team GREEN!
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I don't really. Either would be really cool.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He would prefer a boy, simply b/c he thinks a girl will be able to manipulate him. Haha...
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? Nope
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I keep having dreams that it's a girl.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? Eventually I would like to have at least one of each, but we plan on having more than 2 children so the chance of that are probably pretty decent... So I guess since we have one daughter, just to get the one of each out of the way a boy would be nice. But I don't think I really have much of a preference.
3. Does your SO have a preference? DH wants a boy, but will be equally happy with another little darling girl.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? We have one daughter, and we did not find out with her. Funny thing is, DH was so in awe simply at the fact of having a baby, he never even bothered to look what she was when she came out, and we had an on call doctor who thought that we knew the gender, so she never even said anything. I kept asking and asking and it took a good 4-5 frantic times of me asking for anyone to answer "It's a girl!"
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Simply because this pregnancy is already very different from my first I think it's a boy - but in no way do I "feel" that it is one or the other.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Finding out but not telling
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? Boy, I totally want a boy.
3. Does your SO have a preference? H wants a girl
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? No
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Boys run strong in H's family so I think that's what we will have
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? We are finding out, I have no where near enough patience to wait.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I am hoping for twins (yes, I know everyone says I am crazy. esp since that will mean I have 3 under 2.) I would love twin boys since we already have a girl but more girls would be great too.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He really wants a boy to carry on the family name. He only has one nephew that can carry on the family name and he is worried about the family name ending.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them?We have a daughter and we found out ASAP with her.
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I have no clue
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? Team Green! It's our first, and we just think it will be more fun this way.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I go back and forth, which I think means that I don't really care. I'd love either one, for sure. I'd be thrilled with a girl (I love girly baby things) and I'd also be thrilled to have an older boy.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He would like a boy, I think
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? N/A
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I think it's a boy. Not sure why.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? We will be finding out
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I would love another boy
3. Does your SO have a preference? He wants a boy
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? We have a son and we found out at 20 Weeks
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Pretty sure I am having a girl.
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? We will be finding out. I get anxious about everthing and always need to know what is going on.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I honestly don't care. I can picture myself with either.
3. Does your SO have a preference? He says that while he would like a son, he thinks he would be a better dad to a girl. I think he will do fine either way, but his sister has girls, so that is just what he knows.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? N/A
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? Well, I will be able to tell more definitively in 1 more week. I did IVF and we put back 2 embryos, so I don't know yet if we are having 1 or 2. My dreams go 2 different ways...I have more dreams that it is two girls. But every once in a while, I have a dream of a little blonde boy and they are much more vivid dreams. If I had to choose what I think it is right now, I would say one little boy...but we shall see!
1. Are you Team Green or Finding Out? I think we are going to find out. I don't want to be disappointed if it's a boy (see next answer) and have that effect my attitude for the whole second half pf my pregnancy.
2. I know all we really want is a healthy baby (or two!), but do you secretly, or not-so-secretly, have a preference? I want a girl...I already have a boy and there is a good chance this will be our last baby. I reeeeeallllly want a girl!!
3. Does your SO have a preference? He wants a boy. He has one younger brother almost the exact same age difference as our kids will be.
4. Do you have any other kids? And if so, did you find out with them? My son will be 2 years old in October. We did not find out his gender. I wanted the surprise and the anticipation. It was important to me that my husband be the first to see/find out after he was born. We always said we'd find out for #2 though....
5. Do you have an inkling about what you're having? I KNEW early on with my son (even though everyone said I was having a girl). I really don't know either way yet. I think it's a girl, but it's probably just my desire for one interfering.
This is me to a T, minus the psychic.
