I'm too much of a planner not to know. I'm hoping for a boy. Hubby has a boy already, so he wants a girl. I love my bonus son and want another little guy.
I always said the ONLY time I could not find out is if we had a girl and a boy already (aka prepared for either). And here we are - Team Green! I’m oddly excited about not finding out. We’ll see if I cave later.
With my DD, I really wanted to be team green but I caved to pressure and found out anyway. This time around, DF and I are on the same page that we want to wait to find out. I'm so excited.

I just need to know all the things. Like @sammierose464, I'd love to have another little boy to go along with my DSS, but MH wants a girl. I'll really be happy either way!!

I can barely even wait until the anatomy scan to find out! I've been researching those online tests you can buy. DH said no though. Lol. I think this one will be another girl, but I'm pretty ok with either. DD is so much fun that I would love another girl, but it would be really cool to have one of each. Plus, DD goes to daycare with all boys so I know she would love having a little brother. I think I slightly want a girl more because I already know how to deal with girls so it would be easier.
We are definitely going to find out. I wish I could find out tomorrow! DH is hoping for a boy and I would love to have another little girl, but boys are a lot of fun too. I can't wait until my blood draw in a few weeks since that genetic test will also tell us the sex of the baby.
I want to be team green since this will be our last, DH is not on board though. He wants to find out and just keep it a secret from me but I feel like there’s no way that will work out
Since we did genetic testing on our 4 frozen embryos and found out they are all girls (!) we wanna find out what this one is so we know if we are one day gonna have boy and girl or an all girl family
@koala1107 I am currently disagreeing with my husband on this issue. We didn't find out for DD (17 months old) and since this might be our last baby he says he "needs" to know? I'm not budging so if he wants to find out great...he better keep it to himself!
Also, is it terrible that I really want another girl? I love my sister so much and I want DD to have that experience, but I am pretty sure this is our last baby. Small NYC apartments and all.
I am a big planner so there is no way I can not find out! My husband just wants me to be happy and not stress out so I think he is agreeing to find out...

Yea I think so. We didn’t with our first bc I really wanted a girl. Now that we have a girl I don’t really care either way and just want to be prepared and purge the stuff I don’t need!
I want to know as soon as I can! We found out with DD. My husband’s family really wants a boy. I think it would be fun to have two little girls, but I’m happy with either. I just want a healthy baby.
I would love to be team green since this is our last but I kept every single thing from DD. So i really need to know if I need to break it all back out or if I can purge and purchase blue.
I neeeeed to know ASAP!! I wish I could wait but I really don’t think I can for my first. DH really wants a boy.. he says if it’s a girl he will “shove it right back up in there” though I know he will be an amazing Daddy either way!

...yuck. I can't believe your husband would say such a thing. Like...what if you actually have a girl and thats the first thing he said about her?
@hapymama - For the child's sake, I hope you have a boy because I wouldn't want someone like YH raising a daughter. His negative views on women would more than likely influence a daughter's self-esteem.

Team Green here! MH really wants to find out but I like the idea of being surprised. He jokes that he’s sure it’s a boy but I know if we have a girl he’ll be wrapped around her little finger!
@kiwi2628@pebbledam He was joking of course! I did laugh because the mental image was truly hilarious. He would never say or think something like that for real!! He will be an amazing Daddy either way and he can’t wait. We’ve been trying for 3 years
i definitely want to know!!! i didn't ask DH if he wanted to find out or not, but i absolutely assume he would want to know. we are both planners, and I'm impatient as all get out. We already have a DD (mine, his bonus DD), and neither of us has any preference towards what this LO is, as long as everyone is happy and healthy!

We will be team green again. There is no comparison to the excitement of the anticipation that we (Not just my husband and I but all of our family and friends!) felt the first go round. My husband got to be the star of the show for a minute too going out to the waiting room to announce we had a boy. I wouldn't want to to deny him that honor.
I need to know. Now. I was the same way with my previous pregnancies. This time it matters more to me though bc we’re not telling our daughters that I’m pregnant until we know the sex. I have no interest in the tantrum my 3yo will throw if we tell her before that and she’s decided she wants a brother and it’s another sister etc.
DH openly says he wants a boy this time, which I guess I understand but still irks me. Stop pressuring my uterus to make specific genitals, man.
We are going to find out for two reasons: 1. i'm a type A planner and 2. I have had such a strong feeling that it's a boy ever since we did the transfer for the IVF cycle. I need to know if I'm right! haha

We are not 100% sure yet but are leaning towards team green. No matter what, we love this baby and since we don't get to pick the gender, I kind of want the surprise when I see the baby. DH us on board so far.
