I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Re: Why I'm Really Team Green
DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome.
131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
Ooh that's a good idea! Even more torturous! My brother and SIL decided on the name but didn't share it and it drove us all nuts. But if we'd been paying attention he let it slip a couple of times but no one noticed. It was evil, but fun evil.

Yes, people are unnecessarily intense about it. They seem to think I'm doing it purposely to make their gift giving impossible and torture their souls.
Actually, I am doing it for this reason. I do not want a bunch of gender specific crap. That's what hand me downs from my nephews or nieces are for, lol.
Mean or getting even??
Honestly, with my first I was team green partially because I knew if we told people we'd get more clothes and less of the stuff we actually needed. There hasn't been a aby in my family in ages ( I'm the youngest of my generation, and DS is the first of the next generation) soi just knew they'd go nuts with cute-but-not-useful stuff. Since we were moving halfway around the world when he was born, I didn't have room for superfluous stuff.
I would totally do this if I wasn't such a bad liar.
I've always wanted to be team green, long before I ever got preggers & now that we are I am still team green!!! I have to admit, it is kind of fun torturing others ;-) I keep telling everyone whose bugging me about not finding out
1. When you have a baby you can do what you want about finding out/not finding out
2. If I can wait 9 months while this baby is growing inside of me & patiently wait til baby arrives to see if it's a boy or girl you'll live!!!!
