Last chance to change our mind about Team Green...

in February 2013 Moms
We go for our A/S on Wednesday.  I had to keep pushing it off because DH has been traveling, but we are finally going.  DH has his heart set on Team Green and at first I was completely against it, but I have to admit, it has been surprisingly nice telling people we don't know and we don't plan to know whether it is a boy or girl and it totally takes the name pressure off.  Nobody expects us to have a name because we can't and then nobody can make any unsolicited comments.  I still, however, think we should find out and just not tell anyone we found out.  DH really wants the surprise and I really just like shutting everyone else out and having time for us to enjoy it before we share with the world.  I have actually really come around to not knowing the sex, though I have to admit, it makes the A/S much less exciting, besides that I get to see the little bug.  On a side, note, I wonder if not knowing the sex is making it more difficult for me to bond with this LO or if it is just because I already have DD I just can't imagine having that bond with another tiny human.  Does that sound horrible?

    No, I don't think it sounds horrible at all. We're trying for #2, and I'm already anticipating having a panic moment whenever I get a BFP and realize that it won't just be me and Mr. H anymore. I think it's totally normal as a mom to one to have a hard time imagining having that bond with another little one!

    That is exactly what it is! I get so worried about it not just being me and L anymore and having to take away from her for another LO.

    I secretly want to know what you're having, so you should find out, tell us and then just keep telling everyone IRL that you're still teem green. :-)

    THIS!

    This is what I am trying to talk DH into!! I would totally tell you guys ;)

    Team green was fun last time! It was hard though. But it was nice to have no pressure. This time around we found out (and I keep having these Mini panic attacks that they well be wrong and I won't have anything ready). But it's been heard because DH's family is going gaga and keep forgetting about the daughter we already have. And they are super annoying about wanting to know the name — but then poopooing out choices. We keep telling them we haven't completely decided, but they don't like any of our choices (not that I care. Actually that makes me like our choices even more, lol!)

    We didn't get any of that last time around.

    I also loved being team green. I think it gave me the drive to get through labor easily. It was also exciting to tell people when they came to see us. I also liked being able to tell people we didn't know and we didn't tell any name choices. But like Sagen said, it is totally a to each his own situation!

    We were "team green" with DS and it was okay.  I HAD to find out with this LO though!

    When we went for our A/S, the ultrasound technician told us she is "fairly certain" that we're having another girl. But at the same time, DD was with us and being fussy, and we only got a quick look at that area. In the picture we have, baby's legs are really close together, so it's hard to tell. So in that sense, I don't feel very confident that we know for sure.
    I haven't felt as much of a connection with this pregnancy, but I don't know if that's necessarily because we aren't 100% on the sex. I think it's just more because I'm so busy all the time. I'd like to know for sure, but I'm trying not to stress about it. I'm more happy that our baby is healthy, and I know I just have to be patient.
