XD To the Team Green ladies who've answered so far, thanks! XD I meant "easy/difficult" as in -- did the techs (and your baby!) cooperate with you not wanting to know the sex...
Not as in losing the desire to keep it a surprise, hehe. Sorry for the confusion! I'm just worried about finding out by accident. 
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
We're at 20w4d; over the half-way mark! Woohoo!

5. If you know what you are doing pip your bedding. ?cmcmilan - I've decided on this for a girl
Not sure on bedding for a boy because I'm 90% certain we're having a girl. DH has requested that we paint the nursery green though.
6. Experienced Team Green ladies -- how easy or hard was it to get through your a/s u/s without finding out? Any tips? TIA! -soralette - n/a. I'd freak if we didn't find out!

I never had issues. Lots of people say "oh you'll see it", if you let the tech know you dont want to know I dont think they even look. Atleast with all 3 of mine they didn't. There is no medical reason for them to check the goods. At u/s when further along we were not able to watch as they got the measurements, but they would always go back to feet, hands, face, profile for us when done. Just let them know when you go in that you are not interested in finding out.

That part wasn't hard at all :-) We told the tech right away that we didn't want to know and she said, "Sounds great! I won't even go near that area!" And that was that!
Awesome!!! Thank you guys so much!

7. Questions for next week?
Are there any ways to improve/increase milk supply prior to delivery?
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Currently the period that will not end. I was warned with all the estrogen I had in my system that my lining would probably take awhile to shed, but still annoying. Our plan is to do a frozen transfer with two embryos in early November. I'll be on BCPs until then.
2. What are you looking forward to this week? The weekend. We have no plans. It's been awhile since we've had no plans.
3. Monday confession? I'm not going to work today. I have to be at a meeting this afternoon at a different location, and it seemed silly to take the bus to work for two hours, before getting on another bus to go to my meeting. So I am "working" from home.
4. Anyone else with short cycles? ?Sunnyinseattle1: mine are usually 26-28 days, but my LP is only 10. It's been so long since I've had an unmedicated cycle I don't even really know anymore.

7. Questions for next week?
who did you have/will you have in the delivery room with you?
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 23 weeks. I have had really bad posture with the bump getting bigger so I'm just sore all over.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Not till oct: I'll meet my MW's partner and start alternating appointments with each. I'll go to their new location on the new Swedish campus so I'm excited to see the new hospital.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? DH is going out of town for the weekend so I have the house to myself.
4. Monday confession? I have a few: I really want to name this kid before he is born but DH refuses to talk about names yet. I have the most intense sweets cravings but I have to eat them when DS is out of the room or after he goes to bed or he'll want to live on cookies and ice cream too.
5. If you know what you are doing pip your bedding. ?cmcmilan We don't really do bedding sets. I'll do a crib skirt and a bumper and some fun sheets.
6. Experienced Team Green ladies -- how easy or hard was it to get through your a/s u/s without finding out? Any tips? TIA! -soralette
7. Questions for next week? Rec your maternity pants that actualy fit and don't fall off your hips. Small is too short and medium won't stay up.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 10 and actually feeling a bit more energetic; M/S is starting to get a little better too
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Not for a while, but 1st U/S next Tuesday! Also excited I heard the heartbeat at my appointment last week and now we get to see the baby
3. What are you looking forward to this week? My parents are coming to visit on Friday! And we're going to tell them I'm pregnant (their first grandchild)
4. Monday confession? I used to be the queen of using up all leftovers but now I can hardly eat any meal twice and I keep throwing away perfectly good food. Guess if it made me queasy the first time (bc I'm always queasy by dinner time) I don't want any more of it, even though I know it's me, not the food.
5. If you know what you are doing pip your bedding.
6. Experienced Team Green ladies -- Can't decide if we should be team green. I like the idea of everyone else not finding out the gender until birth, but not sure whether I can wait that long or not.
7. Questions for next week? When did you spill the beans? To family/boss/coworkers/facebook?
