Giving up team green??

I've known since day one I wanted to be team green and keep the baby's sex as a surprise for delivery day but SO desperately wants to know. He agreed to wait but I know it's killing him already and we aren't even far enough to find out yet! Lol. So I'm feeling a bit guilty over talking him in to waiting. And I feel like knowing the sex is a big part of how he'll connect to the little one before he/she arrives.

So I'm considering booking an appt for an us at a private place and keeping it a secret. I'm thinking they could write the sex down and seal it in an envelope that I could surprise him with as part of his Christmas present. Thoughts? Is this too cheesy? He was present for the first 2 ultrasounds and he'll be at the a/s in January so I don't think him missing the scan is a huge deal (the place I'm considering does a "sex reveal" special on weds for $50 that is just a quick 2d no frills us).

    I was like you, but DH really wants to know so I figure we'll find out and just keep it between the two of us until delivery :)  I would schedule the u/s around Christmas and you could make it a scavenger hunt present.

    I too am not sure surprising him with this information would be the best way to go about it....but, you know your husband best...if he wouldn't't be upset with you having done it it could be a very cute Christmas surprise.

    My DH wouldn't care if I went to a scan and had the nurse write it down.  As long as we found out at the same time, he wouldn't care.

    We were team green with #1.  We had a lot of appts and scans and one was on his 30th birthday.  I offered for him to find out then, but he decided to pass.

    He told me AGAIN last night, that he wants to find out.  Some bullsh*t excuse about being able to buy girl clothes if it's a girl.  Like he's going to go shopping if it's a girl?  DOUBT IT.  

    We might have them write it down at our a/s and decide later if we want to open it.  IF we do find out, we will be the only two people who do.

    I was team green with my first even though my husband wanted to find out.  I won the battle and when delivery day came, he was so overwhelmed with emotions at the surprise it was a girl and said he was glad I talked him into waiting.  Now here we are again, I'm team green and he wants to find out.  I think it's sweet you are considering your husband's feelings but I just have to say you're going to be the one doing all the work of labor and pushing the watermelon out so you shouldn't feel bad about wanting your feelings honored.  In my opinion, it's such an awesome reward at the end of all that to have..obviously, a baby..but also the surprise of its sex.
