Team Green: Still holding strong??

Aarg · May 2014

Hey everyone out there Team Green!!

With all of these gender announcements popping up I figured we could use a check in!

Who's still holding strong?
Who's given in?

SPILL THE BEANS!!

JessAnnJ · May 2014

My AS is in 3 weeks. I am pretty sure I will be able to hold out, but the announcements are making it hard. At my AS I will be almost 21 weeks so by that point I am half way to meeting my baby anyway. That is what I am going to tell myself to help make it easier to wait. This is my last baby and we found out last time and I really want the team green experience.

Ok my AS is on FRIDAY!!! I badly want to stay team green but the temptation is great. I think about it daily...and try to keep reminding myself all the wonderful reasons to remain team green.
Come on ladies we can do this!!!! Think of that moment in delivery when you finally find out!!! It will all be worth it right then!!! We can do this!!!!
So was that convincing?!?!?

I was wavering a little because DD is so sure it's a girl, I thought we might need to prepare her if it is a boy. But then I realized she wouldn't really believe until the baby was here anyway. I loved team green last time. Plus my parents like us being team green so that is extra motivation.

So far ao good. But our a/s is tomorrow!! So im gonna try to stay strong!

We are still holding strong and it looks like we will for the long haul- our a/s was last week and we kept our resolve and didn't find out! And a different doctor from our regular doctor does the a/s, so my regular doctor doesn't even know (just sex=normal... that is literally what it says on the report). Since that was our last planned ultrasound, it looks like we won't even have another opportunity to find out until the baby is born! Good luck to all you other team greens!!

I'm waivering but DH is staying strong. My ultrasound isn't for 3 more weeks. My one resolve is that I will spend way more than needed if I do find out. DS who just turned two will only say he wants a "Sis-tirrr".

My DH and I feel very strongly about TEAM GREEN... there are so few true surprises in life!
Also I personally know 3 people who were told the wrong sex and I would be devastated if that happened to us...

My friend really wants to throw me a gender reveal party so I'm really debating that. We were team green with our last baby and it was so exciting but I think a gender reveal party would be just as exciting! I have 4 weeks until my A/S so I guess well see!

Sofia2529 · May 2014

My A/S is tomorrow and I'm sticking with Team Green. I know how much I enjoyed finding out in the delivery room the last two times so there really hasn't been any temptation to find out earlier.

PBJellyTime · May 2014

I am still holding strong, but I am also very disappointed with the lack of gender neutral items. I am having the most difficulty with bedding...contemplating making it myself to get around it. But at the same time, we too could wait until baby is here to finish decorating the nursery...decisions decisions.

I fear I might be tempted at the A/S, but I'm 99% sure I'll hold strong, DH on the other hand I worry about! He said he is going to find out and keep it a secret. No way that is going to work! Our scan is on May 30th.

I do love all of the announcements though, but what an announcement it will be once baby is here!!

MissMandyD · May 2014

Feeling very resolved about being Team Green again. Still can't think of a greater surprise than giving birth and hearing someone say it's a...

Although I am nervous given our level of ability in reading ultrasounds that we may find out by accident.

roundabout2 · May 2014

I'm still team green! Our anatomy scan is tomorrow but we're holding firm

crystal8503 · May 2014

Team green for the win! Staying strong here, though there is always temptation.

Mistyleb · May 2014

Holding better than hubby. He wants to know so badly. I like being able to tell people that we are not finding out and their reactions. But I can't wait until October to hear "It's a _____!"

cbriggs567 · May 2014

I'm still team green. I want to find a little bit, just because I want this last one to be a boy so bad! My DH on the other hand really wants to find out because he wants to do a gender reveal part. That part kind of surprised me. I'm not opposed to that bit this is our last one and I want to experience what it's like to find out at delivery!

jcsumm0 · May 2014

@FamousEa I can tell you my experience. I really thought DD would be a boy. DH's family is generations of boys and so I assumed we would follow suit. Plus, to be perfectly honest, in my heart of hearts I had a small preference for a girl so I told myself it would be a boy

When she was born for a few minutes we didn't even ask and then we looked down and saw she was a girl. For a good several minutes I just kept shouting and repeating, "It's a girl! I can't believe it! It's Evelyn! It's a girl! It's Evelyn! I can't believe it!" It was just an amazing moment. I think you can see it in my face (ignore my pasty whiteness):

Mlewis2319 · May 2014

Even if I wanted to cave, DH isn't having it. We're going to have a great time when we go for the a/s...he's going to drive me nuts! LOL

It's going to be fun to wait...but very hard for me! I like to know...DH doesn't...

Aarg · May 2014

WAY TO GO LADIES!! Keep strong!!

I definitely agree that I really love seeing the announcements and the gender reveal party pics and videos of friends.

Hubby and I really want to hear the "It's a ____!" And have someone photograph the expressions on our faces!
So few surprises in life- why not enjoy a happy surprise!
=D>

I am still staying strong, although with our A/S quickly approaching (5/30), I'm thinking about how all I want to do is stare at that screen and see my little one! But since we're Team Green, I know there's going to come a time when she'll have to turn the screen away from us. I don't want her to turn the screen, but I also don't want to know. So the thought actually crossed my mind that maybe it would be easier just to find out so I can just continue staring? Silly, I know.

Arctic_Seal · May 2014

We were thinking about finding out but we enjoyed being team green last time so nope, not finding out this time either, we don't think! Kid even has a nickname "Kid2".

melszum · May 2014

My a/s is next week and I feel like I have nothing to look forward to since we are team green, except if course hearing that baby is healthy so there have been a few times I've been like well maybe I will have them write it down in case I change my mind but the thought of finding out the sex at birth makes me so excited and also to be able to see the reactions from our families:)

Jellybean813 · May 2014

With our a/s approaching next week I have moments where I'm like "oh man - we could know next week!?!?!" and want to find out. But I'll hold strong. DH would go along with it if I said I wanted to find out, but I know deep down he really wants to remain team green. And like PP said, I think that the moment in the delivery room when they tell you what you've had must be amazing.

Dubsgirlie · May 2014

We have our anatomy scan on Monday. Plan is to keep going!!

DaniW1984 · May 2014

My A/S is Fri & we are definitely still Team Green!

A friend told me on the weekend that not knowing the sex will encourage me in the final pushes during delivery -- every push is closer to knowing! <:-P
