Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out??? - UPDATE!!!! :)

Ok so we have our anatomy scan on Friday and just as I had feared, now that the date is so close, I am really getting more and more curious!!!!

Originally we both wanted to know. Then DH realized he wanted to be surprised and I liked the idea and thought it was great.

Now I still see the great stuff about being Team Green, but I would still love to know if baby is a Chat Icon or a Chat Icon !

So, please vote and tell me why you voited that way. I'm hoping something will click either way to make the decision a bit easier.

Note: I think if I REALLY wanted to know for sure DH would give in... probably.


UPDATE: Soooooo we went to our level II/anatomy scan (FYI, the sono tech said they're the same thing) andddddddddd.......



















we closed our eyes for the potty shots! Chat Icon I was SOOOOOOO tempted to just peak, haha, but didn't. So we're still team green.

And baby is looking great and we got to see him/her in sooo much detail, it was really amazing Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon The coolest part was seeing the baby's actual heart pumping and seeing the blood flow - so amazing.

Re: Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out???

Well I am team Chat Icon and have loved it. I mean there are moments when I have driven myself insane with wonder, but on the other hand it has been so much fun having everyone guess, testing all the old wives tales, and it is definitely giving me the extra push in these last few weeks.

I just can't imagine a better moment then when they announce in the delivery room if it is a boy or a girl. I say stay Green all the way!

If I could do it again, I would have stayed team Chat Icon . We did that the first time and it was so much fun. We found out this time, and to be honest, it was a little anti-climatic.

I can't vote for any of them. You both have to really want whatever you decide on. We chose to find out, it was exciting to us no matter when we were to find out.

TEAM GREEN, TEAM GREEN! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

We were team Chat Icon when I was pregnant with DS and are again with this pregnancy.

I am sure it is very exciting to find out the sex at the anatomy scan (just guessing since I never did it). However, I can tell you from experience how wonderful it is to work so hard to push out your little one and hear them announce the words "It's a...". Then you get to hold your baby! *sigh* I am so excited that I get to have that experience one more time (should be any day now!)

Anyway, I hope that whatever you decide makes you happy!!!

(also wanted to add that I really enjoyed making other people suffer! Chat Icon I just thought it was so funny that people would get annoyed that we were not finding out and it made me happy to make them wait!!!)

Re: Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out???

We weren't going to find out, but DH peaked during our 4D sono and I'm so glad he did! I feel so much more of a bond with my son now that I know his sex and we can talk to him and call him by name. No more saying "it." I can't explain it, it just felt different once I knew. The other thing is his room is ready complete with tons of clothes.

boooooooooooooooooo maria!!

TEAM GREEN ALL THE WAY!!!

think about it...you'll save money!! it's the savings-friendly option! Chat Icon

if you do decide to find out PLEASE make it special...we discussed this...envelope, special time (your bday!) announcement, etc.

but stay team green! you can always find out with #2 if you decide that you didn't like it this time around...as many have said, it's one of life's true surprises, not many are left in this world. i loved being team green but will prob find out with #2, i wanna see how each feels! plus, don't take DH's moment away from him! he's so excited about this, don't persuade him to find out also!

okay is the guilt trip setting in yet?? Chat Icon Chat Icon

I definitely agree with this statement. I spent insane amounts of money on both my children before they were born and had I not known there is no way I would have bought like that. Who has the time to shop or even shop online when you have a newborn.

All that said I personally loved knowing what I was having each time.

If we have a 3rd part of me would want to be surprised but I don't know if I could hold out.

Re: Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out???

I've done both. It was great getting surprised in the delivery. It def adds to the feel of the moment.

As I got older (and had more kids) it was more practical to find out what I was having.

Re: Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out???

i underestand the whole moment of "its a ___ " but, as someone who is finding out the sex, I think that seeing my child for the first time and watching DH have that first interaction is most definately enough to get me through Chat Icon

i am a planner, and a shopper Chat Icon i MUST know Chat Icon plus, I get to bond with him or her this way. I have already been calling the baby Jack (bc im convinced its a boy), I already feel a small connection. Im in for it if its a girl Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Poll: Stay Team Green or Find Out???

I had my level II yesterday and still didn't find out. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. As soon as we walked in DH announced that we didn't want to know. I enjoyed watching the baby on the screeen and wasn't even really thinking about the sex! I don't think the tech even checked himself.
