What team are you?

WinniethePoohsPants · October 2015

Are you going to find out the sex of your baby or are you going to wait it out?

Special Snowflake: I already know I'm Team Blue.

PGS counted one X and one Y.

I want to know now. I'm not patient

redheadbride15 · October 2015

I couldn't deal with other people (the medical professionals) knowing but not me. If no one knew then I think the surprise would be fun, but that's just not how it works. Between ultrasounds and genetic testing, there's simply no surprise anymore and I'm not going to try to fool myself into thinking there is. Well, actually there's still a surprise - it just happens much earlier! Personally I plan on doing fetal free DNA testing, so I'll know at 11-12 weeks.

I'm too much of a planner not to know. And with two girls, I've got a lot more shopping to do if it's a boy this time!

We were team green last time so we're finding out this time

katxattack1212 · October 2015

I'm on the fence. I'd like to know, but it doesn't matter.

cattuccino · October 2015

We're undecided. Though I think we're leaning toward finding out.
DD was team green and it was fine and fun - but during delivery one of the tech's gave it away before she was born - we assumed it might have been a mistake or pronoun used out of habit,

But when it came time, there was nothing magical or fun about me shaking out of nerves, exhaustion, medication with my insides splayed out on the table having to ask multiple times "WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?" and being ignored.

It doesn't matter to us whether or not it's a boy or a girl...but we would like to find out

NLewis1 · October 2015

We want to find out. I'm a planner and enjoy decorating and buying clothes and there are VERY few gender neutral things I've found I like. I've been on Pinterest and have found the most adorable boy and girl nursery stuff.

I also used to be completely against the idea of a girl (I really wanted DS to have a brother) but I've been thinking about all the fun stuff a girl and I could do together and the stuff my mom and I used to (and still do) together and now I'm like "I would love either sex" - which I suppose is good because I had a bit of gender disappointment when DS wasn't a girl. (I got over it, obviously - as I initially wanted another boy!)

mrsp2213 · October 2015

Can't decide at the moment, but if we do find out early, we both have to be on board with wanting to know. If one feels strongly that they'd rather not know then we won't find out until birth. We'll see how we both feel when we actually reach the point where we could find out.

vulpini · October 2015

I want to know. With DS I had a feeling he was a boy before the 20 week ultrasound confirmed it. It was fun to shop and decorate for him. I also don't like a lot of the gender neutral clothes and there are not that many of them available. Our baby gear that we kept is all neutral or neutral-ish already. I picked a gender neutral nursery theme - fish/under the sea - though I ended up falling in love with a set in that theme that was in more boyish colors over a more neutral one. It would be fun to get a few girly things if this one's a girl. It was also easier to pick names with DH while focusing only on one gender and then being able to call DS by his name before he was born.
We'd be happy with either gender though.

berky84 · October 2015

Both my DH and I can't wait to find out. Whether we are surprised at 20 weeks or 40 it's still going to be this amazing moment when we find out. At least with the former we have the time to prepare afterwards.

samsonator · October 2015

I want to be surprised!! I tend to like gender neutral colors (green, yellow, gray) and don't mind having the "wrong" colors for what I'm having. We aren't big pink fans so that wouldn't be in our nursery either way.

nelodnewg · October 2015

We're planning on finding out. Last time we were team green, but miscarried... I think we just want this one to be different.

SchruteBucks · October 2015

I found out with my first two and was team green with my third. We'll be team green again this time.

tslmom87 · October 2015

I have to know. There's no way I could go a whole pregnancy without knowing. We have two girls and are really hoping for a boy this time.

hgsurvivor · October 2015

I want to know and I will find out with one of those gender reveal parties. A few years ago, when it hadn't caught on yet, I read about it and told a couple of friends. They all have had one baby at least by now and they ALL did it. I feel like I've earned mine! Hahaha.

BirdsofParadise86 · October 2015

I'd like to think that I have the patience to wait the entire pregnancy but I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to find out earlier.

Lilwatz · October 2015

Last time we got an elective ultrasound at our OB office at 16 weeks. Totally plan to do that again! I love planning. Give me ALL THE DETAILS.

GinnyJ2012 · October 2015

I'd love to be surprised once. DH says this is the last baby, so we may end up being team green. We have a few months to decide. We have two boys already, and I feel like this one is a boy too. I'm not sure I'm done at three, so that's a talk we need to have at another time.

goldie987 · October 2015

I am totally on the "need to know" bandwagon. That being said, we won't be telling any of our family (or at least not DH's family). His mother is convinced that the Y sperm dominate in his male line as he is one of 3 boys, his father is one of 2 boys and his grandfather is one of 4 boys. If it's a boy, she'll make a big scene about how she was waiting for grandchildren to get "her" girl and she still isn't getting it and if it's a girl, I'll be up to my eyeballs in pink from 20 weeks onward. So yeah, I want to know, but only me and DH will know.

Koalamomma3 · October 2015

I am apparently insane because we have 3 DDs and have decided to let this baby be a surprise! I would never have considered it with my others but since this is our last, I thought, why not?! Also baby Gap and Burt's Bees have the cutest gender neutral clothes, and since I am loving gray right now anyway, it kinda works!

PBear93 · October 2015

@Sgoldberg247 my husbands family is like that. His father has all male siblings, my husband only has brothers, and his brother with kids has all boys. We had a girl and my MIL was so excited. But we were team green and found out when she was born.
