We are going team green this time around. It is going to be hard but I am excited too. We found out with our daughter but I knew she was a girl from the very bringing. This one I have no clue
Team Green here!!! FTM, due October 28th, waiting to see what my little Bean will be. My DH wants to know, so he will find out at our 20 week ultrasound.
Team Green here! We have 8 year old girl and 6 year old boy so I thought it would be a cool idea to wait. I find myself getting pretty anxious to find out the sex since my anatomy scan is next week. However, I'm going to keep my eyes closed lol and I'm looking forward to 1 OCT.
We are team green too. I love having this little secret. It's driving everyone else crazy but I'm excited to not know. It's our first baby and we have our u/s on the 28th. I really don't want a million blue or pink things. I want neutral colors. I want them to choose their gender and their style not my friends and family. And I feel like not knowing their gender will help keep me from having expectations of them even before they are born. I want them to show me who they are and what they want out of life. Maybe that's silly but I think being team green is helping me with that.
I have my 20 week ultrasound on Wednesday! I'm going in and telling the tech that we want a surprise as soon as they walk into the room. I love surprises but they always seem to get ruined. I've already had dreams that the tech was loud and told the doctor almost in front of me. So fingers crossed that this baby will be shy and we won't see anything by accident.
Is anyone telling the tech not to write down the sex of the baby in the file? I've read places that sometimes if its in the file someone towards the end will ask are you ready to meet your son/daughter and then the surprise is ruined.
We go for our anatomy scan this Thursday and i'm definitely nervous!
I also am not find out! DD 10/10. This is will be my third bb, and my last.... I already have two boys almost 9 and almost 6 and couldn't be more happy to have my awesome little dudes in my life, my oldest wants a girl and youngest wants a boy.... My oldest calls the baby "mystery" I'm hoping for a girl but in the long run All I want is a healthy happy bb, gender isn't that important. I go in for my A/U on the 20th (this wendsay) and I'm super excited! I keep dreaming that I'm gonna be looking at the ultrasound and just be able to tell if bb is boy or girl. There will two people thAt will know gender because I do want a few color gender things for when bb comes but I think the funnest part for me is going on a small shopping spree once bb comes and where released from hospital to get all the color gender stuff will need. I went shopping the day bb and I where released with both my boys so as long as weather and bb is healthy enough tradition of shopping will follow with #3 lol
Team GREEN here, we will wait till birth! This will be baby 5 combined for us we both found out with both of our children so we are excited to be surprised. Due 10/14 and can't wait!! We have a bot named picked out and have two girls names that we both love.

Yes. @Krysta6 I am telling them to not write it down. I think the office already operates that way, but I'm double checking everything. I don't want a slip up after waiting all this time. Are you doing the same?
@McRad yes I think that is the best way. Although part of me wants to have the option to call and beg them for it later on. But I'll hopefully show restraint and tell them to not write it down
FTM due 10/21! Our gender scan is scheduled 6/2 and I'm so anxious to find out what we're having, I can't stand it! I've had my girl name picked out since junior high, Delilah Nicole. I told my husband he could pick out the boy name, but I got the final veto. He likes Myles, but I like Cillian, middle name Tabor. We're still deciding.
FTM and holding true to team green...with twins! I'm having an easier time than my husband and definitely my mother. Watching them squirm is kind of motivational. Due on 10/18 but moving up quickly. We have 4 names for each boys and girls...but are keeping them on the hush-hush too.
@VioletandRose my friend just had a baby and waited to find out. They were certain it was a boy (as was everyone around them) and out came a baby girl!
Ha! You never know, the same might happen to me! Not one person thinks I'm having a girl. This should be exciting!
Its the opposite for me! Everyone thinks I'm going to have a girl. So excited to find out. 10/28!
Nice! I'm due on 10/11 and we don't know what our baby is yet either. This is our third and already have one boy and one girl. Hoping for another boy! We find out on Tuesday the 26th!!
We are waiting too...torture my hubby wants a surprise. I have 2 boys n 1 girl.. Names will be Lillian Bruna Cheri - great gma and 2 gmas names Or Dominick Elio Grandfathers names
We survived the ultrasound and they didn't even look in the area! They said medically they don't need to know. So now we are committed for good, go team green! It felt so special to be looking at the body without obsessing over the sex. I'm on cloud 9 after the ultrasound
We had our ultrasound this afternoon and made it through without an oops, baby showed his/her parts! Yay! I thought I'd be extremely tempted to ask but I had no desire to know. Like you said, @Krysta6 it was so nice to see baby's body and organs without obsessing over the sex! Also on cloud nine!
We have two sweet precious girls but I would love a boy this time around. I feel guilty
Had our scan yesterday and the tech said she would tell us to look away but she never did. We watched the whole thing!! I didn't see any boy parts so I'm assuming girl. Wouldn't I have seen boy parts if it were??
Team waiting-to-find out too! Does anyone else waiting have a strong belief/feeling that your bebe is a boy or girl? I'm getting girl vibes, but nervous about taking them too seriously incase I'm totally wrong.
Went in today, and we intended on seeing if it was a boy or girl. But they were so uncertain and I'm not a fan of uncertainty right now. (I think it's a pregnancy thing ) ) so me and my husband talked and said we think it would be fun to wait. I'm so excited!!! We have a son who will be 4 on October 31st and our due date is October 10th!!! We will see!!! I mostly hope for ten fingers and ten toes and healthy.
Was debating about finding out at my anatomy scan this past week, but baby wouldn't give the tech a clear shot during the normal review so we are waiting! We found out with both our girls, so it is weird to not know.
@Krysta6 Sienna Grace is adorable! We are naming our daughter Siena I want her middle name to be Mae for the month of May when we found out the sex but my boyfriend isn't too thrilled lol. So I guess no middle name!
We are 21 weeks Due Oct 1 with our 3rd. Boy and a girl already so we will be surprised this time. I'm excited to not know. Anatomy scan was @19 weeks. I have no clue what this is so I bought a boy and girl outfit for going home. I'll have someone wash the right one when we know .
Hi everyone! Ftm here too! We miscarried over the summer so I am super nervous but we are 19 weeks tomorrow. Due on October 19! We are waiting to find out. It was my husbands idea but I'm on board too! Names are Hannah Katherine and Benjamin Brian so we are set that way. Hardest part will be figuring out decorations for the nursery lol. Our twenty week ultrasound is on Monday the 1st I cannot wait!! I think it's awesome that we are all waiting to find out! Go us!
It's a boy! I had a feeling the whole time! I guess it was a 50/50 chance I'd be right tho haha. The only trouble is people I know have already taken all my favourite boy names so it's gonna be hard picking a name!
FTM and waiting for the day to find out I have always thought I am going to have boys. So we will see if my long time gut instinct is right. But either way I only truly hope for healthy!
We are waiting!! You can't get a better surprise than that! if it's a girl: Marie "Josephine" and if it's a boy: Michael Matthew "Royce" all based on family tradition so either will technically go by their middle name
I have a team green RANT that I want to know if everyone else is experiencing?
Since we are not finding out the sex of the baby that means that people are trying to guess. Their favorite way to guess is based on the shape of my body. Now I am 5'0" so I know that I am going to look larger than someone who is 5'5" or above, there just isn't a lot of room for baby to grow in my short tummy. But I have gone home in tears thinking about some of the things people say about my body! The most recent was that I'm having a boy because girls would be a cute basketball tummy and I'm clearly expanding outward! I was horrified! Its so hard to maintain a sliver of self esteem when people keep talking about how I don't have a basketball tummy. I want to be happy and healthy during this pregnancy and it feels like everywhere I turn someone is saying how I carry this baby isn't good enough. But is anyone else going through this? I don't know how I'm going to get through 4 more months and its only going to get worse!

I read this and my blood instantly boiled for you. For real. I'd tell them to shove off. Honestly. If they can be blunt and rude to you, why can't you be blunt back? Everyone carries differently, body shapes and sizes are all different, each pregnancy is different. I, personally, wouldn't handle well with that. I can take a lot and be the "let it roll off the back" person but there are multiple things to consider- one, your body is not in its usual shape/form and it's hard to see things shift and grow so quickly; two, you have feelings about your body; and three, WHO FRIGGIN' CARES if you don't have a basketball bump?! Those people are rude and saying extremely hurtful things. If it wasn't shove off coming out of my mouth it would be a very quick and anger filled explanation of its none of their business and there is a healthy baby growing and that's all that matters. As long as you're healthy and happy that is all that matters! I may not have gone through this, personally, but I'll be the voice to tell you that's crap and you do not need to listen to those people.
I had our anatomy scan a couple of weeks ago and we decided not to find out what we r having. She did however write what sex the baby is in an envelope, which we have, and it is in our safe. Lol but my fiancé decided he didn't wanna know after being dead set on it. I love the idea of it being a surprise. I have a strong feeling that it's a boy, but my fiancé thinks it's a girl so who knows.
