Mobile: Moms who were team green

 

What made you decide to stay team green?

Was it hard to plan? 

Was the feeling of hearing the dr/DH say "It's a ____" worth the wait?

 

DH and I have been discussing wether we should try it this time and I'm definitely not sure if I have the patience/willpower not to know. But I think it would be amazing to hear my husband announce what the little bean is at birth.

    We were Team Green with DS and are "going green" again with 2.0

    My mom actually encouraged us to not find out (not in a pushy way) -- but just said it was a lot of fun when she was pregnant. I seriously think it helped me save some money by not

    My sister was team green and it was exciting getting that call that I had a nephew so that's what made us decide to wait to find out.

    Honestly it wasn't hard at all. I'm pigheaded so once I make a decision I stick with it. I also really like sur

    This is our 5th time being Team Green, so, of course, we love it! I never had trouble planning because we wanted to have a full stock of gender neutral stuff in the beginning, including the whole nursery, so we could reuse everything for each baby that

    I am a "delayed gratification" kind of person so I didn't want to ruin the moment for myself so to speak, which is funny considering I was still peeking in my mom's closet to see what I was getting for Christmas when I was in college. I also felt like the

    Oh and as for whether or not it was hard to plan, no not at all. I mean, it would have been nice to have been able to do a full out girly girl nursery and buy fancy clothes but in the end it really didn't matter. And I felt that at my shower I got a lot o

    There are so few things in life that you REALLY have to wait any time to find out, I loved waiting to find out the gender of both my babies.  It was amazing both times.

    I did also love that it drove certain other people crazy that we didn't

    Babybmom made a good point I had forgotten about. I can remember several times during labor that the thought and excitement of knowing we would find out what our child  was really soon took me out of my own head. It was made for a good thing to fo

    We just really wanted to be surprised so that is why we opted to stay green.

    It wasn't hard to plan.  The nursery, clothes etc purchased in advance were all neutral and since N was born we added some pink and purple.  I love her pale gr
