With our second daughter we were TG and I thought it was fun! When she was born I didn't even ask if it was a boy or girl. Last thing on my mind ;) not sure if I would or wouldn't find out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108851 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 19:17:47 +0000 Mrs. J 2108851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: yes—we absolutely LOVED being TG the first time, and you're right—it's a surprise no matter when you find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108730 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 16:34:04 +0000 littlejoy 2108730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG the first time (LOVED IT), but like you guys, we're thinking that logistics might be easier if we find out with our next pregnancy.</p> <p>But then, I go back to the moment when my husband told me "We have a girl!". If we do find out, it won't be during an u/s ... We'll have the tech write it down so we can find out with just the two of us. </p> <p>No matter when you find out, it'll be a surprise (just maybe a little earlier or a little later). Good luck making your choice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108714 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:57:51 +0000 mfa_lady 2108714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out for our first (who's 10 weeks old) and when we were still in the hospital, DH said he might like to do TG next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108693 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:31:40 +0000 Mrs. J 2108693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I knowwwwww :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108690 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:31:19 +0000 Mrs. J 2108690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: I loved that it's a boy! moment too :happy: </p> <p>We are thinking that since we might be done, we wanna know if it's a girl or not because we might go for three if it's a boy, which would involve some more planning. We might end up with three either way, but maybe not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108687 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 15:29:10 +0000 MapleMoose 2108687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out for #1, and TG for #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108625 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 14:01:28 +0000 illumina 2108625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out with LO, but want to be TG next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108583 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:16:13 +0000 Ash 2108583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: whaaaaaaaaaaaat! Don't give in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108582 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 13:15:06 +0000 buttermilk 2108582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @lilteacherbee: I want to know too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108531 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 12:22:24 +0000 Torchwood 2108531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is a little more complicated. We were TG last time until we found out she might not make it. We didn't want to find out at the birth if she might not be born alive, and we didn't want to never know at all. I was really sad to give up on TG, but it was also amazing what a difference it made for me on bonding with her to know she was a girl.</p> <p>This time I needed to know early so I could process my feelings after having lost a girl. It wasn't too big of a deal since this one is a girl too, but it would have been hard if she was a boy. Also, a lot of the stuff we got was very girly, so we would have needed to make a few purchases if we were having a boy this time.</p> <p>Overall I do wish we had been able to stay TG a little bit, but I also love knowing, so it's not a huge regret for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108448 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:48:57 +0000 Peasinapod 2108448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't team green for my first. Although it almost felt like I was because ultrasound technicians saying they 'thought' it was a girl just didn't sound definitive enough for me to whole heartedly beleive them. I ended up having a tiny belly and having about 7 ultrasounds... So I did start to beleive them near the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108444 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:44:50 +0000 Mrs. J 2108444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: bahaha I knew what you would say!! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108435 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:40:28 +0000 lilteacherbee 2108435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: !!!! </p> <p>Obviously, I have no experience as I find out as soon as possible, BUT I'm so excited to know what you're having ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108408 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:24:39 +0000 wonderstruck 2108408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL found out with her first but let it be a surprise the second time. Honestly I think it would've made more sense to be team green for the first on her case, since the first time she would've been super excited, and the second time she clearly had a preference, told everyone how sure she was, bought lots of clothes and stuff to prep for the opposite gender...and she was wrong. She's not very good at being team green I guess, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108391 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:02:34 +0000 magnolia 2108391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasnt for my first but now I'm thinking it would be fun for #2!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108389 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 10:00:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2108389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: this might be me. I insisted on TG with our first, and Dh agreed even though he wanted to find out. So I may let him choose for our second (last) when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108387 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:59:37 +0000 Charm54 2108387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was TG first time around and am TG for this one too - I love the anticipation and surprise. Nothing compares to the moment when dh told me "it's a girl! We have a daughter!" I will say I could have been more easily swayed to find out this time if Dh really wanted to, but he wanted to be TG again too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108382 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:54:17 +0000 jetsa 2108382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: we were TG with 1 and found out for LO2. I'm 30 weeks and don't regret it. It allowed little miss to get some clothes/things of her own since we didn't have a shower or anything this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108366 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 09:38:48 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2108366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I was Team Green for my son and am Team Green for this last one. We found out for my daughter as we moved and I didnt want to unpack all my sons stuff unnecessarily. Logic triumphed emotions in the end. If you read my post I didnt get the best delivery announcement with my son sadly and my daughters was a bit of a let down too so Im hoping third time is the charm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108277 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:24:17 +0000 Mrs. J 2108277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yes, I saw that! I know it's not a huge deal either way, but it feels like it right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108273 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:23:09 +0000 JessKas 2108273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was team green with my first. I'm pregnant now and DH really wants to find out this time, and since I was the one who really wanted to be team green last time I'm letting him choose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108270 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:20:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2108270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mrs chocolate just posted about this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108269 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:20:34 +0000 Mrs. J 2108269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: yes! I'm so torn. We partially want to find out because this might be our last! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108268 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:15:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 2108268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was TG with E but am really considering finding out with the next one. I think I'll be sad to miss the delivery room announcement though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-anyone-team-green-for-one-but-not-the-other#post-2108262 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:10:52 +0000 Mrs. J 2108262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you found out, did you find out for all of your pregnancies? If you were team green, were you for all?</p> <p>We were team green for DS, but are considering finding out for this one! I'm 19 weeks. </p>
