Re: POLL - Finding out or Waiting?

We are trying to be team green this time.

We found out with our first two so I thought it would make this pregnancy a little special since we have a boy and a girl already.

DH isn't as committed to the green team as I am, but so far he is going along with it.

We will see if I can hold out at the sonos.

I have 2 weeks to go and I can't wait!! I couldn't even imagine waiting until I delivered. With DS I loved knowing, I felt like I was able to really bond with the baby better knowing the gender. Plus I get to pick out only one name and buy gender specific stuff Chat Icon

Re: POLL - Finding out or Waiting?

I didn't find out for DS and it was GREAT!!!!

This time around I am considering finding out at the sprinkle my sister is planning - I have the envelope with the info - I will give it to her and she will plan accordingly.

Reasons for finding out -

I want to get gender specific clothes, towels, wash cloths (stuff that I have to get for this little one, I have all of the big stuff in neutral colors)

The baby will be sharing a room with DS and I want DS to start getting used the fact that he's sharing his space. I want to decorate each side for each child.

I am definitely finding out

DH and I are both impatient and i can't imagine knowing that we could know.. and not knowing! Chat Icon
and we want to be able to just concentrate on one name since i know we'll have a hard time agreeing on one anyway

however, we're probably going to keep the name to ourselves until it's born though. i don't want to hear anyone else's opinions!

We did not find out with DC1 and we will not be finding out this time either! Or with any future pregnancies, for that matter! I wouldn't have it any other way. It is the greatest surprise in the world. There is nothing like it. People gave me a hard time but not in a serious way. Some friends would tell me all the time how it was KILLING them not to know! Didn't bother me though. Definitely do what you and DH want to do! Don't let anyone pressure you! You could regret it!

WE;re staying Team Chat Icon
Loved it with DS... everyone loved the surprise
My mother once in a while asks though

As for buying clothes... get it when the baby is here Chat Icon
It's not that hard to go to the store the next day b4 coming to the hospital. We did a layette and picked stuff for a girl and stuff for a boy. Easy enough
Also, stores can return items LOL





I agree!
We were team Chat Icon for our first and will be again this time! There is nothing like itChat Icon Luckily for us our family and friends loved that we didn't find out before hand so we never felt pressured. As for the clothes go, we also bought a few outfits for each girl or boy and returned what we didn't need afterwards. It wasn't a big deal at all. We didn't get a ton of yellow or green anything..our families brought tons of clothes to the hospital when they came to visit anyway.

If you want the surprise at the end stick to your guns! This is your baby and YOUR decision. Don't let anyone sway youChat Icon

Re: POLL - Finding out or Waiting?

UGhh! So unsure. I wanted to be Chat Icon . DH started hearing stuff from people about it and now wants to find out. My parents want us to find out, as they have already gone on major shopping sprees. Chat Icon I'm starting to cave, so I'm pretty sure you'll see a team announcement from me.
