Team Green come in

biblionerd · October 2011

How committed are you? Are both you and DH on the same board or are one of you not sure? Do you think you might end up caving?

mgra328 · October 2011

Totally committed. We already have 2 of each. Everyone has both a brother and a sister so for the first time, I don't have a take in it either way. Let's do this! Plus, it will be fun to drive the family crazy.

100% committed and we are both on the same page. No caving over here.

I'm 100% committed. I have a girl and a boy, so I have everything I need regardless. I found out with the first two and enjoyed knowing. We *think* we want four kids, but who knows--this could be the last one, and I want the surprise experience!! No way, no how am I getting talked out of it!

CTri17 · October 2011

I'm 95% committed. We were team green last time and I didnt' want to find out but DH would have.

So since he deferred to me I would have let him find out this time but HE doesn't want to know this time!

If it we were ever having twins we wouldn't be team green

biblionerd · October 2011

I'll answer my own question. DH and I are both team green. DH says he's 100%. Honestly, he got the boy he wanted last time. :P I am probably 95% right now. I REALLY want to be team green. We're having a rcs which is kind of anti-climactic so we thought it would be really fun to wait to find out the sex. There's still just that TINY little bit of me that wants to find out if it's a girl. I just really think it's a boy though so I feel like I'd be mad at myself for finding out.

I was 100% team green for the first two. I can't even describe how exciting it was after labor to finally find out the sex. We have two daughters & for the first time I am wavering on team green. So really I have no idea, might have to make that decision when its time for my 20 u/s. Someone remind me why we should wait...

kkfeb04 · October 2011

We were Team Green for DS and will be for this one. I would maybe find out if DH would want to but he has not inclination of wanting to find out. Last time I had u/s every week for the last 12 weeks and DH didn't go with me to those as they were checking for size and AFI. I more than likely will have the same this time around according to MFM. I could have easily asked but I didn't cave. I knew I would be a 95% c/s then and it was very special to hear in the OR what sex the baby was. I know our OB and our nurses were so excited to find out with us (our one nurse was our childbirth coach and we were the only Team Green in class. She even came the next day to see how I was even though I wasn't in her rounds). We have everything we need (except for a double stroller) and it was our take of gender neutral, browns and blues/teals. .

JaimeG183 · October 2011

this is our first and we're both committed. I could go either way but DH is not budging and that's ok. We already agreed for a 2nd we would find out but for our first it doesnt matter. I like the idea of all our stuff being neutral anyways

MsNessa · October 2011

I'm pretty committed, but I know it will be hard for me when I have my a/s next month. I might need a pep talk from past Team Greeners.

DH will be finding out.

I hope I don't cave. I love the idea of finding out at birth, but I also love the idea of knowing early and being able to think of the baby as him/her and use his/her name. I wish I could do both! lol

Daisy41459 · October 2011

Totally committed. We did it with DS and while it was hard at times, I am so glad we did it.

We are definitely doing it this time since I most likely will be having a RCS, and I want one element of this baby's birth to be a surprise, since we'll be choosing his/her birthday.

Kaiene · October 2011

I wouldn't mind knowing, but H really wants that "It's a..." moment in the delivery room. I think it will be fun to have that moment together.

devious1031 · October 2011

Totally committed! DH, on the other hand, throws a "fit" every time I tell him I don't wan't him to find out, LOL! Good thing is he's great at keeping secrets so I have no doubt that he'll be able to find out without me finding out. Though I'm not going to lie, I'm upset that he might miss the 20w u/s (due to being in the field) but I'm NOT upset about him missing finding out the gender

roxane · October 2011

DH is 100% and I'm 99%. The only thing that makes me want to find out is, since we know this is our last baby, I would love to get rid of half the boxes of kid clothes I have in the basement. We didn't know with DD and we did with DS. I like not knowing better.

HeatherAA10 · October 2011

DH and I are thinking we're going team green, but we are far from certain. I wish I could make a decision, but I guess we have a few weeks to think about it anyways. This is our first baby so we don't have anything, but I love the greens and neutral colors so it would work out just fine for us. When I had my NT scan they didn't even ask if we wanted a guess, they just don't try to guess that early, so that made it easy on us. I thought at that moment I saw the baby that I did not need to know the sex, I was completely satisfied to know it was healthy! We'll see...I'll let you all know if we cave.

MrWhiskers · October 2011

Committed. I have a fear that the u/s tech or the Dr will slip and tell us. I totally get why people find out (preparing the room, bonding with baby by name, etc..) but We really want to be surprised.

Johlise · October 2011

Totally committed, I like not knowing and think it's more fun to not know until baby is born.

The only thing I find hard is baby stuff... you get so much green and yellow, while that is ok it would still be fun to have some blue or pink. That being said I'll survive! LOL Smile

Mrs.Teddy · October 2011

me mostly, DH completely. We were team green for DS and loved it, and so we have tons of nuetral stuff. That moment in the delivery room will be forever ingrained in my memory. However, I kind of want to know if its a girl so I can get everything prepared. I am trying (and likely will) hold out because I really think I will be dissapointed if I find out. And my in laws drive me crazy and they want is to find out, good motivation not too! (I'm awful)

lauranicole91 · October 2011

DH and I both agree on being Team Green. In my opinion you already have to wait so long to be able to figure out, whats another few months of waiting? ::shrugs:: I don't think we will cave. I just worry that the tech will slip and show us a revealing angle or forget we are Team Green all together.

jesbeth · October 2011

DH wants to know, but I'm standing my ground! No one in either of our families have ever found out beforehand.

chasbride07 · October 2011

I think I'm committed to it and DH will go with whatever I decide. So it's really on me. I know from the first time around how hard it was to not know so I ended up getting wrapped up in the excitement of being able to find out and did even though I originally did not want to. So this time I need to be strong!

wils0482 · October 2011

I'm 100% committed. DH would probably find out if he had the chance. He says it's up to me, though. We were team green with our first, and it was amazing. I was convinced in my head that it was a girl. I can't even describe the moment right after he was born, before it was announced "it's a BOY!" So much fun!

I know this is totally a UO, but I don't understand why people need or want to know the sex beforehand. I don't really give two shiits if other people find out or not, I'm just saying I don't understand the reasoning.

Harper'smom · October 2011

We were team green last time and it was worth the wait. We won't find out this time either. But it is MUCH harder this time for me because this is our last baby and the last piece of the puzzle to our family. DH does not find it harder this time, he is my team green rock.
