We're getting so close to meeting our babies!!!
How are you guys doing?
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
Is your nursery done?
Are you "ready" for baby?
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Add whatever else you want! I love hearing how other team greeners are doing, since hardly anyone I know IRL chooses to be team green.

Re: Team Green Check in
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl? I'm thinking two girls (twins).
Is your nursery done? Nope! I tried cleaning and now it just looks like something from Hoarders. oops!
Are you "ready" for baby? Totally ready. Oh. Except for the fact that I need to buy a new car that can hold my entire family. Should probably get going on that! lol 3rd/4th time mom problems.
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down? We have one boy, one girl. Need one more of each.
I'm leaning toward girl, no rhyme or reason.
Nursery is not done but I have the pack n play ahd rocker set up in our bedroom. Dh is waiting on orders and we are looking at a move no matter where the orders are to sometime between november and january so I just figure baby will get a nursery once we are in a new house.
No! Not ready. I need dh to have leave dates and a plane ticket. The only person who can fly out and wait this baby out is my mom and she will obviously be in charge of dd during labor so if dh doesn't make it I'm solo. Also, dd was head down from like 28 weeks until birth, this one keeps moving moving and is some kind of breech (haven't verified since he or she goes from transverse to footling to frank) freaking out and praying baby flips to head down in the next couple weeks and stays there! Csection would be pretty traumatic for me..discovered with dd epidurals don't work on me so it's automatic general anaesthesia and I'm super allergic to all opiates so I'd get to recover with tylenol only. FLIP, BABY!
Yes! I feel like this is the only thing going right for us
So culturally we typically name after the grandparents. We named son after my father in law, my parents have 1 each, and my mother in law is the only one waiting for a name. So if I have a girl I’m kinda stuck. If I have a boy I can do whatever I want. And I love my boy name!
Oh oh and I have prob everything I’ll ever need for this kid but I’ve pulled out nothing....
We are doing ok. My DH wanted to find out but he’s been fine since the halfway point. He’s thought process is “I’ve made it this far”. Other dads we know say he’ll probably be happy he was team green in hindsight after the baby is born. If we go for two I’ll probably want to find out and do a small gender reveal for immediate family
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
I think girl. I’m carrying all over in the belly but I haven’t gained much weight elsewhere and my face hasn’t changed. But everyone says I’m carrying like it is a girl. That’s what most of the bets are and the Chinese prediction chart says (I’m not Chinese)
Is your nursery done?
Hahahaha. No. My DH wants to know what the baby is to decorate. I want a patriotic theme nursery, so it’s gender neutral but he’s insisting we wait. Since he’ll be the one doing most of the work, I will keep my mouth shut and just do the “I told you so” dance while I snuggle with the baby and he gets to paint and put furniture together. Baby and I have been practicing
Are you "ready"for baby?
Hahahaha. No. We have a car seat. So I guess we are ready. We had our shower so we have lots of clothes and books. I have a breast pump. So. Yes- I guess we have the things but I don’t think we are ready. Is anyone really ready?
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Hahahaha. No. We have a girl one, I think. I think we have it narrowed to 2. Boy names we are struggling with and it’s my DH not liking the names. He keeps saying we have time. I’m 34 weeks. There’s not much time left. At this point I will let the nurses pick the name!
Nope. Everyone thinks boy, but says girl, I think because they want a girl, both our families are mostly boys. I have no strong feelings either way.
Nursery is done aside from two things I ordered that are on backorder but aren’t essential. I stressed about it for a while but am so happy with how it turned out!
As ready as I’ll ever be! Just need to install the car seat and pack hospital bags, which I plan to do after my next dr appointment where I’ll be 36 weeks. Last night DH said he is excited and can finally see himself with our baby. He’s been pretty nervous but we saw our 8-week old niece last night and after playing with her, he can’t wait for our little nugget. I’m a little nervous about the whole labor process just because I don’t know what to expect, but cannot wait to meet this baby.
Yup! One girl and one boy. Still debating between two middle names for the boy, but I think we can make that decision after we see baby.
I have felt like it’s a girl from early on for no particular reason. DH wants a boy first but thinks it’ll be a girl. Both of our families mostly think it’ll be a boy because of how I’m carrying and that I haven’t gained weight except for the bump. Plus both of our families are full of boys with very few girls sprinkled in.
Our nursery is all set up and organized! Sheets, clothes, blankets, towels, everything all washed and put away. We’ve just got some things like the bassinet and swing being stored in corners there until we get closer and there’s a need to put that stuff in the rest of the house.
I think we’re as ready as we can be. I just need to pack my hospital bag and order my breast pump. Other than that, we have all the things.
We’ve had a girl name picked out since the first time we talked about names when I was about 8 weeks along. Boy names are so difficult though!! We want to use family names, but are really struggling to find a combo we both really like.
Doing pretty good! Starting to get antsy about meeting baby and finding out the sex.
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
I feel like it’s a boy but something in the back of my mind says it’s a girl. When I start thinking of future scenarios I always automatically refer to baby as a girl so who knows lol.
Is your nursery done?
Nope! We are working in there today and hope to get thing hung on the wall and everything we have so far to get washed. We registered for the crib and changing table so we won’t have those until after the shower, which I still have no clue when that is. We also need a rug and a chair so it will still be a by until it’s done.
Are you "ready" for baby?
Nope. I’m ready to not be pregnant anymore but not for baby lol.
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Yes, we have both. We haven’t shared them with anyone though and that makes people upset especially being team green.

I'm hanging in there. I have contractions all the time. If i stand up I have one 90% of the time, every time I go up the stairs I have one, etc. Sometimes they are painful, so I'm curious to see what my doc says. Hopefully it's just STM braxton hicks.
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
No clue what it is, and I know people want it to be a girl since we already have a boy, but I have zero preference. I just can't wait to meet him/her.
Is your nursery done?
We have bedding that I still need to wash (along with washing all new clothes/blankets we got plus some of DS's old stuff). I was going to wait for DH to get done making DS's dresser because his stuff is currently in the baby dresser that was his before we moved.... I think I'm just going to start washing stuff so I feel less stressed out/can check it off the to do list). We still need to get wall decor made and bought.
Are you "ready" for baby?
Once we get the nursery finished I think I'll feel ready. We have everything we need/want. I just want baby to stay put until at least 38 weeks (preferably 39 to make it through halloween).
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Nope. We really need to sit and think about names. I guess we have 3 girls names and a middle name picked out, but boys are harder for me this time. I have a few that I like, but nothing I am really sold on.

Rainbow baby due 12/2021 - Team Green
Any strong feelings it's a boy or a girl? I feel like it is a girl and I have two girls and a boy. I have zero preference on sex and am instead praying for a good sleeper.
Is your nursery done? Ha! Poor fourth kid. Our 2 year old is still using the crib and I'm not ready to move himhout yet. This little one will be in a pack and play in our bedroom for the first few months. So yes? I can assemble that pack n play in about thirty seconds.
Are you ready for baby?
Yes. I know where my littlest clothes are for each sex. I had a shower Friday and got lots of diapers and wipes. I bought a few new bottles and binkies. I'm so excited!
Do you have any names picked out?
Dh refuses to even discuss it since we don't know the gender. If it is a boy our strongest contenders are Dean and Tyler. If it is a girl I'm campaigning for Magnolia while simultaneously trying to decide if it's too weird. I also like Grace for a girl.
We are good! I can’t wait to see who this little person is. Really excited about baby, but also hoping we can get our move done before baby arrives.
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
Not really. I don’t feel like this baby is as big as DS was, so that makes me think girl. Also baby has been breach and sunny side up, which is the same as my daughter, so we could be adding another lady.
Is your nursery done?
Nope. Our house is still in the final phases of being built. We have a bassinet ready in case baby comes before our move date in 2.5 weeks.
Are you "ready" for baby?
Im ready to meet baby, but we have a ton to do before then. I’m also not quite ready to give up sleep.
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
We have a few for both but nothing we are set on. I imagine it will be another difficult choice.
Pretty good! Besides the nausea and vomiting (which I've had the whole time) I feel really good. Work days are becoming long, but I feel like that sometimes when not pregnant too... plus knowing I'll be off for a year is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
I have no feelings. I'm glad I'm not the only one because I feel like I should have an inkling, but I don't. My husband swears it's a girl so he's kind of convinced me of that, but I don't have any feelings about it.
Is your nursery done?
Kind of? I have some decorating things to do still (finding an area rug, hanging wall art) and I would like to steam clean the recliner we moved in there, but all the essentials are in there.. I think. Hah.
Are you "ready" for baby?
Materially - We had our shower on the weekend, so I'm feeling much better now. I've ordered a bunch of stuff we didn't receive as gifts. I would like to install the car seat this week and once all of my things come in I'll have the stuff I need to actually pack my hospital bag. Mentally- hell no. I've been enjoying being pregnant and am feeling somewhat overwhelmed about becoming a mother so I'm in no rush really.
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Yes. I'm 100% on both of them, but I get the feeling my husband isn't set on the boy name. He hasn't come right out and said it but he keeps giving me other options lol. We'll see what happens.
We're good! I'm peeing a lot and am really starting to feel the weight of the babies...I'm 32+4 and already have the weight of a full term baby, so it's only gonna get worse. I have finally resolved myself to the fact that I can no longer work out. Work has been crazy, but it's nice to stay busy.
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
I am feeling boys, but I also had a dream where I saw a nurse write "baby girls" on my chart - which is ridiculous because my providers all do electronic charting, then again, it was a dream...and I argued with EVERY thing the nurse told me in said dream...so take that for what it is. lol
Is your nursery done?
Actually, it pretty much is done. We need to clean it up a bit and organize our cache of diapers.
Are you "ready" for baby?
I think we have enough stuff to get us started...and once they're born I know the grandmas will pretty much buy out the gender specific outfits of every baby section in a 10 mile radius.
Mentally, it's freaking me out a little that in a few weeks DH and I are going to be responsible for keeping two, tiny humans alive. I'm sure we'll figure it out - but it's still intimidating!!
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
We've got it narrowed down to two front runners of each gender with a couple back ups, in case we don't think they look like the name we picked out.
Great!
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
Not really no.
Is your nursery done?
LOL
Are you "ready" for baby?
Yes and no. Baby doesn't have a safe place to sleep set up yet and the diapers aren't prepped, but I'm excited to meet them. I'm emotionally ready I guess, just not physically ready lol
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
Yes, we've had the name picked out for a long time.
We are doing good...my husband knows but he is the only one who knows their sexes and he has kept it to himself as promised
Any strong feelings it's a boy or girl?
The only feeling I have is that it's not twin girls. I don't know why but I feel like there is a boy in there.
Is your nursery done?
I tried really hard to get this done lol. All of the cribs I liked were back-ordered and when I finally got one in stock, after them shipped them to me I realized one was missing the entire back of the crib. So currently have pieces of a crib scattered in the nursery while waiting for a replacement piece. Other than that I need to finish making their mobiles and then I'll be done.
Are you "ready" for baby?
No lol. I'm completely ready to not be pregnant anymore just because of all of the other issues it has caused (bilateral de quervain's tendonitis, trigger finger and constant upper abdominal/rib pain because baby B is breech) but I don't know if I'm ready. A few months ago I felt ready but the closer the date comes the more I panic lol. It's our first, so I know there will be an adjustment period.
Do you have names picked out/narrowed down?
We have two boy and two girl names picked out but I'm one of those that needs to see their faces before I can really decide. It took me two weeks to name my dog so who knows how this will go lol.
