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.
Though we tell people either we didn't find out or we are not sharing the gender. We like keeping other people waiting. Lol

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!

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!!
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.

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!

@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.
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.
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

We are currently TG, but I don't know what we will do for subsequent LOs.

As much fun finding out at birth seems, I couldn't do it because I have no patience and I like preparing.

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.

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.

We have a b and a g, so I wouldn't mind team green if we have another.

I'm the type who likes to know but with LO2, I had my anatomy scan last week but baby was being really uncooperative and the technician wasn't able to complete all measurements (or determine the gender) so I have to go back next week. DH says that if still, the technician still determine, then we'll be TG, which will make me bonkers!
