We have some other contenders and one of those might feel more right!</p> <p><b>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience?</b> Can't think of anything...</p> <p><b>Do you have an idea of what the sex is?</b> I really have no idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1016915 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:25:15 +0000 Vegmama 1016915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: LOVE THIS!!! </p> <p>How far along are you? 19w,1d</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? Baby #1</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Yep! I think DH and I were both surprises, so our parents are totally on-board. </p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We do! We are sure our son will be named "Ari" ... if someone asks, we'll tell them, but we aren't announcing it. For a girl, we're still going back &amp; forth between "Tessa" and "Alba" ... Not telling ANYONE the girls names (except HB, obviously), because I think people will have too many opinions, and we want it to come naturally. </p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? We had our anatomy scan yesterday. The tech included a 3d/4d picture of the baby that shows the space RIGHT between his/her legs. Part of me sees NOTHING and part of me sees a little something ... We're still clueless! Only 21 more weeks to wait. </p> <p>Go team green mamas!!! I think we're a little cooler, haha. &lt;- Hopefully that doesn't get me in trouble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1015772 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 11:20:04 +0000 Redmini1 1015772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? 33 weeks</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? Baby #1</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? For the most part they are, I know both our mothers would have like to know but I love surprises. Reaction from friends and coworkers has been mixed, most are supportive and excited but always with the line "I could never do that, I'm too much of a planner". I've heard that so many times. :happy: </p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We have a boys name picked out and we are ok with telling people because really any opinions they have won't change our decision. Girls names are harder for us, we each have one we like but neither of us like the others pick.</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? I'm having fun with it, we picked out a neutral color scheme for the nursery and everything so far can be used again for another baby if that happens which is what we wanted. DH is waivering a little bit and he would like to know now but its too late because we don't have any more ultrasounds. </p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? I thought it was a boy for the longest time but lately, I'm not so sure. We're hoping for a boy because that's the only name we can agree on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1015169 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 08:28:38 +0000 Ash 1015169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><b>How far along are you?</b> 25w4d.</p> <p><b>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+?</b> Numero uno!</p> <p><b>Is your family supportive of your decision? </b> My mom was soooooo anti-team green at first. She didn't know the difference between finding out at 20 weeks or at birth. But now she's over it. For the most part, nobody else has said anything about our decision. </p> <p><b>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? </b> We do have names picked out... sort of. And we share them if people ask. We can't keep everything a secret!</p> <p><b>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? </b> DH talked me into TG between our m/c and our bfp. But once we had our u/s and saw the little heartbeat flicker, he decided we HAD TO FIND OUT THE SEX so we could buy stuff! I had to talk him out of it!!</p> <p><b>Do you have an idea of what the sex is?</b> Until last week, I was thinking girl but eveeeeeeryooooooooone thinks boy and it's rubbing off on me. </p> <p>I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THIS LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1015130 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 08:13:43 +0000 Mrs. J 1015130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? I am 28 weeks tomorrow!</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? #1</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Incredibly so ! None of our parents found out. My Oma thinks we secretly know because of the nursery colors lol</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? yep! Jack and Madeline.</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? it's been pretty fun! DH had to come around to it, but now he is really excited about being team green. The hard part is pronouns...we hate "it" but if we use he or she, people think we know.</p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? We think boy because the only day I was home that week to BD was O day (yea Valentine's day baby!) And I am carrying super in the front. Who knotted!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014770 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 22:25:44 +0000 ChitownRo 1014770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is fun!</p> <p>How far along are you? 27 weeks</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? Number one!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Yup- I think they would be happy no matter what as this is the first grand baby on both sides</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? Names are secret - but we aren't 100% set either. Just don't want everyone's opinions</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? People seem to think TG is very fun. I do have a few friends who would like to know so they could buy mor fun clothing, but overall there is a very positive vibe out there</p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? No idea, but I am trying to think boy, so if LO is a girl, I will be happily surprised. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014618 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 20:35:55 +0000 delight 1014618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? 40 weeks tomorrow. Yikes! Come on baby, reveal yourself!</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? First baby!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Very supportive! Both our families love that we chose not to find out. </p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? I think our girl name is pretty solid, but we have a few boy picks. We've been pretty open with sharing our name choices. </p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? I am so so glad we decided to be team green! I just can't wait to find out, it's made the last few weeks extra exciting.</p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? No idea, but I have thought that I've been carrying a girl. Only because my friends and family members have all had boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014408 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:00:43 +0000 ChattyCathy 1014408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you: 8.5-11 weeks!</p> <p>Baby number: 1</p> <p>Family supportive: my family is pretty ok with it, it's friends who are weirded out by it.</p> <p>Names picked out: yep, both names picked out. Still working on the middle names maybe.</p> <p>Feeling of certain gender: I've been thinking girl the whole time, DH has been hoping boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014217 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:30:02 +0000 Grace 1014217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? 38w3d</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? First!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Yup! Besides, they have no choice!</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? Yup, I think we've got a name for each, but we're still keeping it a secret. Partly because I don't want comments and partly because I want to feel I can change my mind at the last minute.</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? It has saved me so much money. I cringe to think of all the clothes and nicnaks and such I would have bought if I'd known the sex!</p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? I am positive it's a boy. I will die of shock if it's a girl - which could happen. This is going to be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014196 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:17:30 +0000 PurplePeony 1014196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: most of the old wives' tales say boy, though the heartbeat is right in the middle. I haven't tried the baking soda test, though! DH says he thinks it's a girl, but I think he's just trying to prep himself because he wants a boy. I want a girl (well, I really want one of each and wouldn't care what order they come in if I KNEW I'd get a girl next time) and I have no clue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014015 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:45:58 +0000 heffalump 1014015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Totally the same here. DH thinks im nuts because im so sure..... but i also think hes trying not to get too excited about having a boy just in case im wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1014005 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:43:05 +0000 runsyellowlites 1014005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Hmmm I think that may be one thing here too. With G my skin &amp; hair stayed pretty good, with P I had HORRIBLE cystic type acne for months &amp; my hair got so oily... this time I've barely broken out at all &amp; actually been wearing my hair down more than up. Hmmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013983 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:35:43 +0000 heffalump 1013983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Boy. This pregnancy is so different from my last, most specifically lo my daughter stole my pretty, this time not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013956 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:27:52 +0000 Caly 1013956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: honestly, no clue...if I had to guess I'd say baby A is a boy since that side seems to be playing nonstop soccer in there. The other side (baby B) seems more docile...I'm probably completely wrong though. Heh. </p> <p>It'll be interesting to see if you end up with a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013949 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:24:46 +0000 Charm54 1013949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun!</p> <p>How far along are you? Almost 35 weeks</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? Baby #1!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Yes totally - they are loving trying to predict whether this LO is a boy or girl. People in general have been really excited and positive about TG, the anticipation is building!!</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We have both our girl and boy name picked out....our family knows our girl name, but they don't know our boy name (they think they do though!)</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? Everyone has told me they don't know how I'm waiting, but the only hard weeks were the couple weeks before my anatomy scan when I knew I *could* find out and my BFF who is due around the same time found out. Now though I love that there is still an air of mystery around this baby and people I barely know are telling me how excited they are to find out whether it's a boy or girl!</p> <p>Do you have an idea of what the sex is? I'm feeling girl, but I felt boy for the first half of my pregnancy. I just can't wait to find out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013924 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:12:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 1013924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @HazelEyes: @Rubies: @evenstar982: @LMOG47: @PurplePeony: I didn't even think to ask:</p> <p>What do you think the sex is? Any guesses, old wives tale predictions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013914 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:05:23 +0000 runsyellowlites 1013914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: We tried the Shettle's method for a boy. I guess I kinda feel like it's a boy too, but all of my pregnancies have been SO different that it's hard to try &amp; compare (not that that is a very scientific way to guess). lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013902 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:01:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 1013902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Do you have any thoughts about what the sex might be? Or preferences? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013881 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:55:29 +0000 runsyellowlites 1013881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Oooh so stubborn! We'll just claim like one of our church leaders prayed when we were pregnant with P... despite not cooperating with the u/s they'll be "easy to raise!" lol</p> <p>@evenstar982: How exciting! You're getting so close &amp; I love your nursery theme.. definitely works for either!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: Hope you'll be joining us again! It's so fun being team green! tehe</p> <p>@LMOG47: Oh geeze! I'd go crazy if I had to come up with FOUR names! eek! </p> <p>@PurplePeony: Exciting! Believe it or not some of my very favorite clothing pieces for P are from the boys section! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013862 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:52:38 +0000 PurplePeony 1013862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? 21w4d</p> <p>What number baby? Our first!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Nobody has said anything negative, but our families aren't the type to interfere with our decisions. Also, neither DH's nor my parents found out early with us or our siblings. Many of our friends are surprised that we're waiting, but supportive.</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? Yes, we had lots of discussion about names long before we ever started TTC and settled in one girl and one boy name. Crossing my fingers that's what we eventually end up with because finding another boy name would be like WWIII. We're mainly keeping them secret, though a couple people know -- but actually not the people we're really close to. For example, I told a coworker from a different office when she asked because it made her happy, she's 3000 miles away, and I wouldn't really care if she didn't like the names. For the most part, people will find out after the LO is born, though.</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? I'm really glad we decided not to find out, it just feels right to do it this way. If we have a second child, though, we might find out so we can start talking to LO about a "brother" or "sister" rather than just "the baby"...but that's a loooong way off, haha! I haven't bought a ton of stuff yet, but so far it hasn't seemed that difficult to find neutral stuff -- though the more neutral clothing seems to be in the boy section. I'm not that picky, though, and I don't really care if baby ends up in some of the "wrong gender" clothing, especially at first when we'll mostly be hanging out at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013856 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:50:14 +0000 Caly 1013856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? 24 weeks w/twins</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? First!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? They have been! My parents never found out w/us kids so they're fully on board. DH's family is also supportive. </p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We have 2 girls names picked out but no boys so far. We haven't kept them a secret &amp; if our families hate them they've been kind enough to keep it to themselves. </p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? So far it's been easy...except for picking out 4 names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013811 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:34:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1013811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun! I will follow along because we were team green with #1 (girl), but I am not sure if I want to be TG again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013753 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 14:13:35 +0000 evenstar982 1013753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe fun thread! </p> <p>How far along are you? I'm almost 36 weeks. </p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? Baby number 1!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? Older family certainly 'get it' - after all when I was born it wasn't possible to find out... some of our younger friends think we're mad for not finding out - but I love surprises and almost always manage to spoil them so its nice to have one which I can't spoil for myself!</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We decided NOT to share any names after both sets of parents reacted negatively to some of our early ideas... we figure introducing the baby, by name as a surprise along with the gender at birth will be better as there'll be a person to go with the name, rather than the name being a sort of abstract concept!?</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? Its been great, most people are positive - and it meant we haven't been gifted lots of gender specific newborn things which will be nice further down the road if we have more kids. Decorating the nursery has been great fun (we've gone woodland themed) as its been nice not to feel everything should be feminine or masculine. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013529 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:16:03 +0000 Rubies 1013529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? I'm 32w4d!</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? This is #2 for us.</p> <p>If this is baby 2+ did you find our with your other(s)? We found out for DD.</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? This wasn't our decision! At my anatomy scan, baby's legs were crossed and a sex could not be determined. I had to go back a week later and again its legs were crossed and since there is no other scheduled ultrasound, we decided to take the hint and just wait to be surprised. Our families are anxious!</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We have a girl name and our boy name is pretty much between two. </p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? At first it was hard not knowing, then it got easier, but now it's hard again! But at the same time, it's fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013519 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:10:58 +0000 runsyellowlites 1013519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: That's good to know!

He said he wanted to but then said he was okay not finding out &amp; I could make the final say!</p> <p>@Bao: I'm also seeing an ob this time (just as shadow care) so I'm nervous that so many other will know &amp; possibly spill it! I wish I didn't need a mid-pregnancy u/s! lol</p> <p>@artbee: How exciting! I loved being team green last time so much! :)</p> <p>@HazelEyes: Last time it was our sisters that were upset about us not finding out! Since we thought we were going to until like last night my SIL was "SO relieved" that we weren't waiting... I'm sure she'll protest in a joking way! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013498 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:04:24 +0000 HazelEyes 1013498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in!! :)</p> <p>How far along are you? I'm at 7 weeks</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? #1!!</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? They don't know yet. I think my mom has mentioned in the past she likes the idea of the "surprise"</p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We haven't really discussed names yet, either. Its still really early and I am doing my darndest to not get ahead of myself! I do have my own secret list though, haha (totally normal, right?)</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? Ditto on hoping that the tech doesn't ruin it for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013487 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 13:01:59 +0000 heffalump 1013487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just had a 21 week ultrasound, I'm so proud of myself for keeping with the team green and not looking/asking!</p> <p>How far along are you? 22 weeks.</p> <p>Is this baby #1, #2, or #3+? #2.</p> <p>If this is baby 2+ did you find our with your other(s)? Yes. I am very girly and I knew if I had a girl I'd be upset if I wasn't surrounded by pink. DH wanted to be team green, but he let me have my way. This time since I have my pink already, I'm letting him have his way.</p> <p>Is your family supportive of your decision? My mom's reaction was, "not again!" because my brother was team green recently. But they really don't care either way if we find out. </p> <p>Do you have names picked out yet, will you keep them a surprise too? We do have names and they're not a surprise. Especially with family I don't feel like they'll judge us because they're family names, so it's sentimental for us. And I really don't care what friends say :)</p> <p>Anything else you want to share about your team green experience? I think I'm much more calm being team green. Last time I was so sure the ultrasound was wrong and I'd have a boy in a pink room with pink clothes. So glad I don't have to worry about it this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/current-team-greeners#post-1013474 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:59:20 +0000 Bao 1013474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: yay good for you! We are going to find out this time. Well, I mean the tech ruined it last time but that's so rare so you should be fine so try not to worry about that! Good luck :) </p>
