For those of you not finding out the sex until the delivery room, are you having any "feelings" of what the baby/babies may be?
This is is my fourth pregnancy, and the only one we've decided on being team Green. With my others I just KNEW what they were in my gut and each and every one of them were exactly as I felt. This time around I don't know if it's because we aren't finding out but I have no feeling, or if I do it flip flops daily!
Just curious where you all are on this
Re: Team Green mamas
Im not fully convinced symptoms really mean anything.
I was also convinced I was having a girl with my first for some reason and I had a boy so I'm bad at this game. I never tried to guess with my second.
We we knew for the first and didn't find out for our second. I liked both. I thought there was pros and cons to both. My husband loved not finding out so we decided this way.

I can't decide if I'm committed to Team Green at this point, so tentatively! We were with our last child, it was great.
We were with DD and I had a feeling it was a girl, but was afraid it was just my mind because I wanted a girl.
This time we're team green again and I am thinking boy.
Part of me wants it to be another girl because I'm cheap and I already have everything. lol. As well as if it's another girl, we'll most likely go for a 3rd. If it's a boy we're 50/50 on whether or not we'll ride the IF roller coaster again.

We're finding out this time around. If it is a boy I have a ton of crap I'd rather start getting rid of now, rather than this summer. I'd also like to get to design a nursery that isn't gender non specific.

I still don't know how to convince my super Type A everything has to be perfectly planned husband to go with the flow and let it be a surprise.
we still have 10-12 weeks to get him on board, and maybe after we tell the family this weekend some of the older family members will be able to help me convince him.
@Wino0920 - you took the words right out of my mouth. I KNEW this baby was a girl and then started getting boy vibes. Now I'm back to girl and I'll I can think of is I just think its a girl because of my boys. I also swore DS1 was a girl for the first 8 months of my pregnancy then had a quick switch when we got solid on our boy name. (With DS2, I never wavered that he was a boy.)
I also can't decide if I'm committed to TG this time or not like @halfthetree DH is 100% steady but also doesn't care if we do find out. He just doesn't want a party.

I really don't want to find out this time, but the Mr is adamant that he must know. Only time will tell who wins this Team Green battle...
I would be surprised if we had another baby shower, but you never know. I'm still working on him....

Also remind him that your not wanting to know is just as important as his wanting to know so he needs to find a way to compromise with you. I have met couples in which one person knew the sex of the baby, but not the other. Just make sure he keeps it to himself (the tech can right down the sex on a piece of paper) and remind him that if he buys anything special in advance to keep it hidden so nothing is spoiled for you.
I'm basically working on a way to compromise. Like I also want to use cloth diapers, but he's dead against that too. So I've thrown out there that we either find out and use cloth or don't find out and use disposables. He''s not completely sold on that yet.
I just found my desire to know during delivery such a motivator to get through those tough late stage labor/delivery pains.
