Anyone out there still??
I was getting weak for a little while there but I think I'm back to being fully committed! Big u/s on Monday so I only have to stay strong for a few more days!
As always, it does get hard seeing all the awesome Team Blue/Pink posts and I find it's easier to "think TG" by talking to other TG'ers! so let us know how you're doing and what's keeping you motivated in the midst of everyone finding out the sex?

Bahaha! I have this one friend in particular who is going CRAZYYY that we are TG. She hates it! And to be honest, it does make it easier to stay TG just to spite her (not in a mean, nasty way...but just to make her crazy...err, crazier hehe)
Our a/s is next Friday morning. I keep thinking that I just want a healthy baby and whether its a girl or a boy doesn't play into that - healthy and we'll be thrilled parents to whatever the child turns out to be.
I'm thrilled for people who are finding out, but I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret from my parents, and I just want this to be the first thing that DH and I experience that'll be ours for the moment before everyone else finds out.
My super all about me birth story:
Then: Fraternal twins born at 26 weeks in 1983. Me: 640 grams. Brother: 840 grams. Family kept watch in the NICU for 5 months before being allowed to go home. On oxygen for a year and a half after being released.
Now: Me: PhD student and married. Brother: Lawyer and married.
Dad's wedding speech: Thank you to all the family who stood watch and prayed for our children's survival. Well now the little scrawny chicken is married. Who would've thought? (Thanks dad for making me laugh and cry at the same time).

Lol, I totally get it. I was all "I'm itching to find out!" then she said that and I immediately switched to, "nope we're staying TG." Our family is going to go nuts when the baby is born because we won't tell them until they come see the baby and we plan on having a headband for girl and a hat for boy. Just think of the anticipation our families and we are going to have at delivery!

Holding strong over here! Our families were actually all for doing team green, so that has made it easy. I have had 2 ultrasounds in the past week (baby wouldn't show it's face), and declined the gender both times.
Stay strong!
Go you!! Do they even do a peek at the genitals if you decline knowing?

Aww I love this
I'm happy for everyone finding out too, I like knowing what everyone is having! I just like saving our surprise for the end
and i don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but so many people say that gender neutral clothes are "ugly" and that I'll be sick of yellow and green...but I have found some really cute stuff - and it's not all yellow and green! I've bought a decent amount of clothes so far, not a ton, but it sort of makes me glad that I don't know who's growing in there because I know I would go CRAZY buying clothes once I know boy or girl!

Green! Green! Green! Green! Green!
I've been looking at some patterns for gender neutral rompers and sets so I can make cute clothes before the baby comes.
I like seeing all of the pink/blue announcements too but its also nice to know that other couples are excited to be surprised. It would definitely be harder if you were the only one who didn't know in a group of couples who were all finding out.
I don't think so....I saw the report after, and it didnt say on it...l
hehe
Our a/s is monday as well. I've addressed a card to my best friend who lives out of state - the tech can write down girl or boy and we'll drop it in the first mailbox we see She'll be the only one to know and she'll buy the girl clothes I want if this happens to be a girl. Win.
growing a foosa
I'm still here! I have a scan on Monday next week but will NOT find out the sex.
I'm actually getting annoyed, almost every post on the board is its a ****! That's what the daily check in is for so people don't clog the board up! AHHH!
I think this is a great idea and I thought about doing it! Then I thought that having my best friend know when I didn't would make me crazy and I'd make her tell me or something! I know she wouldn't slip, she's good like that haha.
Still Team Green A/S not until Oct. 12th----but have already told the doc (and planning on telling the tech as soon as we get in the room) just so everyone is clear and there are no questions about if we want to know.
It seems soooo easy to cave I don't want any temptations!
Not sure about other doctors, but ours didn't look. The u/s tech told us that since we don't want to know, then the doctor doesn't want to know so he doesn't slip up, and they won't even look.
Our a/s was this past Monday and it was SO much easier then I thought it would be! We just told her that we didn't want to know and that was that. She was showing us all of the organs and developments and how great everything looked which was a nice distraction. Plus, baby kept it's legs locked tight, so we wouldn't have gotten to see anyways. It's going to be such an awesome surprise in the end!
Our ultrasound was Wed. We are still team green! It was hard since she had the 2 femurs up and just had to move the wand a little to see the girl or boy parts but she knew we didn't want to find out!
I am getting a 3d/4d scan at about 34 weeks because they are so neat and I hope we can continue with team green then!
