I would love to be team green, but I don't think I have the will power. @koala1107 - my old boss and his wife disagreed on finding out or not. She didn't want to know and he did. So he found out and was able to keep it a secret until the birth with both of their kids. It's possible!
We’re leaning team green just to drive MIL nuts. She desperately wants a granddaughter and right now she has 3 grandsons but SIL and I are both KU again. I don’t care if it’s a boy or girl at all but to make her wait to find out would be awesome. Now to get SIL on board.
@sparklingwhit - My MIL also wants a granddaughter in the worst way. We are going to find out, but we're telling everyone IRL we are team green, including my MIL.

@missmaehurt - we are thinking of doing something similar. We really want to find out, but think it would be fun if we told everyone we were team green and kept it a secret!
Lol @koala1107 ! I want to know, but DH doesn't. I know there is ZERO chance I'd be able to find out and keep it from him, so I'm just gonna wait it out on team green, it's something he cares about a lot more strongly than I so it's an easy give. Plus even if I did know I wouldn't tell others bc I don't want a whole bunch of gendered stuff, not my style plus not financially practical either (this is my first of hopefully at least 2, and NYC babies ain't cheap, am I right @estellegetty ?)
Age 32, FTM, cis-hetero, married since 11-2016. Love is love is love is love.
We’ll find out. I kind of feel like a terrible person this go around because I actually want another boy. Not that I wouldn’t be happy with a girl, I just actually have a preference. Last time I could have cared less. I think it’s just because we have a boy that another boy just seems right.
@tinattt23 Last time I really wanted a girl and we had a boy. But I love being a boy Mom and really want another one. I mean I would be fine with a girl too. I really just want a healthy baby, but it would be nice for DS to have a brother.
We are team green! I had to find out ASAP with DD but since it took us over 2 years to conceive this one we figure it can't hurt to wait another 9 months to find out.

I never thought I would be team green because I'm not the most patient person. But I am going to be team green! This is our 3rd child, we have 2 girls.
I have two boys and I want to find out but at the same time I don't want other to be disappointed when they hear its "another boy". But I don't want them to be disappointed when they hold the new baby either - maybe let them be disappointed way before and they get it out of their system before baby arrives. Then they have a new baby to cuddle and love on regardless!!
Definitely going to find out I have a 2yr old daughter, so it will be my second and my bfs 1st. I'm hoping for team pink and he's wanting blue. We will be excited regardless, can't wait!
We are team green! This is our first and we don’t have a preference! Just hoping for a healthy happy baby! Also don’t want people to give us things based on their perception of gender. Green all the way!
MH and I were discussing this and I think we've decided to tell everyone *at* the baby shower. That way we don't get a bunch of gender-specific stuff, but we don't have to keep it a secret the whole time.

We found out bc hubby and I have a terrible time agreeing on names. I was about 8 months pregnant with DD before we agreed. If it had been a boy I thought I would have to wait until DH was asleep and fill out the birth certificate on my own. We could. not. agree. on boys' names.
So, yeah, we'll definitely be finding out again.

BETTER IDEA. Find out, but tell her you’re keeping it a secret until the birth.

Lol a friend of mine is doing that. She’s so pissed at someone for spilling the beans that she’s keepin it to herself.
Team green! We found out with DS and DD, and H agreed when I was still pregnant with DD that since we were going to have one of each if we ever had a third we'd keep it a surprise.
Re: Team green, pink, or blue?!
Loved the excitement of waiting and my husband loved going to the waiting room to announce what we had!
