DH says that if still, the technician still determine, then we'll be TG, which will make me bonkers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-794696 Mon, 20 May 2013 07:50:03 +0000 tequiero21 794696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a b and a g, so I wouldn't mind team green if we have another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-794504 Sun, 19 May 2013 22:57:41 +0000 Sapphiresun 794504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're team green for the first one, but will probably find out for any subsequent babies. My husband and I disagree on this, and I'd find out EVERY time, so we compromised on that. I figured the first time it's fine to be gender neutral everything before it's born, and then the second time I'll want to know if I should drag out all the gender specific clothes that will inevitably come into our possession after it's born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792716 Sat, 18 May 2013 09:22:31 +0000 photojane 792716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I wanted to be team green until I actually got pregnant, and then I HAD to know. 40 weeks is freakin' long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792710 Sat, 18 May 2013 09:18:16 +0000 cyndistar3 792710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much fun finding out at birth seems, I couldn't do it because I have no patience and I like preparing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792705 Sat, 18 May 2013 09:13:13 +0000 lomom 792705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being team green for the first 16 weeks was more than enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792651 Sat, 18 May 2013 08:18:21 +0000 Mrs. J 792651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are currently TG, but I don't know what we will do for subsequent LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792650 Sat, 18 May 2013 08:17:56 +0000 FarmWifeGina 792650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Yes, I'm like this too! Like, GAH, I don't mind someone telling me the gender before birth, but going public with the name and everything? It probably shouldn't bother me, but it's a total pet peeve of mine.</p> <p>We've been TG for #1 and #2, a boy and girl, and now that we have one of each, we're planning to find out with #3. But I can see us going back to TG if we go for #4 in the future. I want to find out just once, I think. And I don't think we'll be telling anyone the gender, other than close internet friends. :) Our families are used to being TG, the only one of our siblings that found out ahead of time did so because it was twins, but they didn't tell anyone else either.<br /> And in the past, we've been open about our name choices, but I'm afraid I'll slip up and just tell people one name, instead of choices for both genders, and inadvertently let the gender be known, so we won't be telling names either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792634 Sat, 18 May 2013 07:54:00 +0000 JerricaBenton 792634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a planner and I needed to find out. I also think it helped my husband get more excited to know in advance. He always thought he'd be afraid to have a girl but by the last few months of pregnancy he was so excited to have a daughter, so I'm glad he got there before she was born. I voted find out for all, because we're only having 2 at most, but if we were planning on 3, I might consider not finding out. I probably still would though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792612 Sat, 18 May 2013 07:20:29 +0000 Kiki 792612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't!! I thought that once I had one of each I would be okay not knowing but now that #3 is on the way, I couldn't not know!!<br /> Have way too much girl stuff that I would hate to get rid of if we have another girl but don't want to keep around if we are having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792540 Sat, 18 May 2013 00:53:49 +0000 SweetMamaM 792540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be too phased with being Team Green - we'll be going with a whole load of gender neutral items for our first anyway - but I think we will find out, as family history will mean a few extra ultrasounds and I don't think I could bear to be there and not know LOL. If our first pregnancy goes smoothly then I think I should be able to contain myself for three ultrasounds the second time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination/page/2#post-792536 Sat, 18 May 2013 00:34:12 +0000 Mrs. WinterWheat 792536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green for #1 (DD) and we found out with #2 to prepare if it was a boy (got our 2nd DD). We will definitely find out with our #3. If #2 would have been a boy we would have gone team green with #3.<br /> Though we tell people either we didn't find out or we are not sharing the gender. We like keeping other people waiting. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792123 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:24:20 +0000 cheesetomywhine 792123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TG for all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792110 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:15:30 +0000 BSB 792110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking if I was lucky to get one of each sex during my first two pregnancies, then I could try the team green the third pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792098 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:08:31 +0000 Sweet T 792098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out for DS and plan on finding out for this pregnancy too. I'm pretty sure we'll be two and through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792095 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:06:47 +0000 googly-eyes 792095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never went into it thinking I'd find out for one and not the other. I wanted to find out for my first. It was my first pregnancy, baby shower, nursery, etc. For the second I don't really care. I sort of figured out that most of the things baby needs in the beginning are going to be just fine being neutral or hand me downs from dd. And as time goes along I'm sure the next one will get their own stuff too. Plus it should be a fun surprise. So we were team pink the first time around but hopefully will be team green the next time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792015 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:45:57 +0000 lilteacherbee 792015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I am way too impatient not to find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-792010 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:40:56 +0000 Ree723 792010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TG for our LO and it was fantastic... But now I'm sort of feeling as though I've been there, done that. I've always been such a huge proponent of being TG, but recently, as we've started thinking about the next one, I'm feeling more as though I want to know! DH is fine either way so we'll have to see.</p> <p>That being said, if we do find out, I don't think I want to tell anyone else (other than my HBers!). For some reason, it really irks me when people know the gender and start referring to LO by name. Both of my SILs have done this and it drives me crazy "oh, James doesn't like spicy food, he gave me heartburn all last night' etc. Maybe I'm just weird but I feel like it takes a lot of the excitement out of a birth when everyone knows all the details ahead of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791976 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:21:24 +0000 pui 791976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does not want to be team green but I like the idea. Our first pregnancy will not be team green, but maybe DH will like the idea for the second? Who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791972 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:20:04 +0000 loveisstrange 791972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!

Not like we have any choice, either! Waiting 20 weeks is killer for me, already:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791966 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:16:12 +0000 tysonja 791966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe I like the idea of team green, but do and I would neeeeevvveeerrrr be able to wait:) we have found out for both, so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791958 Fri, 17 May 2013 16:13:18 +0000 Bao 791958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VEGMAMA: We had to have a re check of the spine at 25 weeks (already made it thru the 20 week u/s) and we told the tech we didn't know the sex and didn't want to. She turned the screen and we turned away to be extra sure. She said everything looked good. I asked the weight and she said weight looks great, in the 26th percentile for a GIRL. OMG my heart just sank. It was the 2nd time in 12 years she slipped up. Of course, had to be with us. We made the best of it though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791769 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:39:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 791769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: lol!!! I once had someone say this to me about finding out- "you wouldn't open your presents before Christmas. God gave you this gift. You shouldn't find out!"<br /> so rude haha!</p> <p>We will find out for all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791756 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:34:09 +0000 Alivoo01 791756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll never be team green because both sides of the family wants to know the sex, and I'm sure DH does too. Knowing the sex of the baby has helped us connect more with the LO. We want 1 of each so now that LO #1 is a boy, we definitely want to know if LO #2 in the future is a boy or girl! If #2 was a boy, I think we MIGHT be team green for #3 since that'll be our final one. It will be what it will be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791744 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:30:22 +0000 Caly 791744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're currently &amp; will always be Green. DH has always been adamant about this &amp; I'm fine not knowing. He thinks there are so few surprises left in life &amp; this is one he wants to be surprised with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791712 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:16:09 +0000 Vegmama 791712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: How did it get ruined? I had a friend who's midwife said the sex out loud during an appointment even though she had asked that it not be written on any charts, or mentioned. I'd be so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791710 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:15:32 +0000 yerpie110 791710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had one of each for the first two, I'd be team green for the third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791709 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:15:14 +0000 Weagle 791709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the idea of being Team Green, but I don't know that I could actually do it. If we already had one of each I would be more likely to be TG. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-team-green-at-least-once-never-or-combination#post-791708 Fri, 17 May 2013 14:15:10 +0000 Vegmama 791708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has always talked about keeping it a surprise until the birth, and I definitely see the appeal of waiting. I think it'll be even more motivation during labor. </p>
