We were Team Green for our boys. Very into Team Green, never waivered type of thing.
If this pregnancy works out (knock on wood) this is 99% out last whether the baby is a boy or girl. I'm finding myself wanting to find out this time! My husband is very Team Green forever so he will not find out. I'm considering finding out and not telling him or anyone. 🙈
So, are you Team Green or finding out? TTMA why you made your decision.

We are team finding out! I am a planner and could not handle not knowing.

I'm just always one of those people who if I can know something I NEED to know it. Plus I felt it gave me time to prepare (nursery, clothes, etc) and in a sense bond with the baby more. We didn't have a name picked until the end so it's not like I called DS by his name but I just felt more bonded to him after I found out we were team blue. I'll definitely be finding out again this time.

Both DH and I wanted to know. We didn't see any point in not finding out. Plus 1 to making naming easier. I know someone who was re green with twins so had to come up with all the name combos. It gave me a headache to think about.

We found out with DS and will find out this time too. I see an appeal in being surprised but the ability to call the baby by name and customize their room and stuff means more. I tell myself it's still a surprise... it's just at 20 weeks not when the baby comes 😂
Also I have no will power and need to know all the things haha

We were team green with DS and I'm glad. The surprise after waiting the whole pregnancy is so special.
This time around we are finding out for sure. I wanted to do one of each. Also I have about 15 rubbermaids full of DS's clothes that I need to know if I can donate or keep.

We have so much stuff from DD that I would love to donate if the next baby is a boy. It takes up most of our limited storage space in our house. +1
I'll probably do some consignment sales to get $ for boy clothes. Everything else is pretty sex-neutral.

We are team finding out. I need to plan for a boy if we're having one bc I have so many girl clothes from DD. Also i want to paint DDs room so the sex of the baby will determine how I paint it (since baby will eventually share that room with DD).

Team definitely finding out, and did with DD too. Just like teraiin said, for me it's a surprise whether I find out at 20weeks or at birth. Plus, need to know if new clothes will be needed or not!

We were team green with DD and will most likely be team green again.
There were lots of reasons that I'm sure you know, but one that was special to us was this:
I knew I was pregnant first, I saw the heartbeat first, I knew the baby kicked first, I knew I was in labor first and on and on. I had been first for literally all the baby milestones. And because I was planning to be home I knew it was likely I would get to see a lot more first while H was at work. But in the delivery room, H got to find out the sex first, and we had him announce it, not the Dr. It was so special for him to be first in this one area.

Great info all around! This is my first AMA pregnancy so if I decide to find out it would be in that 14ish week range.

We've been team green every time. Our first was a boy, second was a girl, so will be pretty easy to stay team green again this time since I have buckets of both sets of clothes around, haha. Neither one of us has ever wanted to find out ahead of time so it's never been much of a discussion! Hearing the doctor tell us the sex after labour when adrenaline is so high is a feeling like no other I've ever had and we cry every time. (though I'm sure it's just as great finding out ahead of time too, this is just our experience!)
If, on the odd chance, it was twins, we would have to think about it more.

I wish I had the ability to be team green but I, like many others, need to know ALL the things. We found out with DS and plan to with this one. Team green stories sound so special and beautiful.

We were Team Green for DS - both of us wholeheartedly wanted the "It's a ___!!" moment in the delivery room. It was never a question for us, and we really enjoyed it. This time I'm wavering. I kind of want to know. As selfish or ridiculous as it may sound, I've always wanted a daughter. I will (obviously) love and cherish this child regardless of its sex, but a part of me would like the time to process and work through emotions. We have some time to decide, so I'm going to play it by ear and see how I'm feeling when we get closer to the AS appointment.

We are having another because our family doesn't feel complete yet. This is not a try for a girl. BUT... I'd love the experience of raising a daughter. After my two boys, I'm expecting another boy. If we have another boy and go for a fourth, that would totally be a try for a girl.

We're not completely saying no to a 3rd, but are going to wait to see if our family feels complete after this one and re-evaluate.

Team definitely finding out! We found out with DS and I also need to know if I should be hanging on to all of his clothes. It also helps me pick a nursery theme etc.

Team finding out as well! We found out with DS. I see the hype in being team green but don't have the patience.

I have a boy and girl (both I found out at the ultrasound). I figure I don't need any clothes or things so it would be fun to find out at delivery.

Definitely finding out. We have three daughters and one angel daughter. If it's another girl DH needs the time to cope with never having a son as this will definitely be our last. If it is a boy I want to get some boy things. It's been seven years of tutus and glitter over here. I'd have some shopping to do!

We found out with DD1 and stayed team green with DD2. I know this is terrible but I want to find out just because I cannot handle the freaking "maybe you will get your boy!!" comments. We haven't discussed it yet but I also considered the two of us finding out but keeping it a secret.

If we decide to find out, we will not be telling anyone.

I'm late to this topic!
We don't have plans on finding out. I've always thought it would be fun to find out in the delivery room. Im also not at all a planner, so I have no problem waiting. Even if we knew the sex, the nursery would be gender neutral (I have a red bookshelf that I don't want to paint again lol).

We have one of each now, so it wouldn't matter. however, there's no WAY I'm waiting to sort the clothes until after baby is born. No thank you. We will be finding out.

We will be finding out because my family is annoying and will ask 25276382837 times a day. Also I have a ton of clothes from G. If it's a boy in need to get rid of them by selling or donation and buy all new clothes.

We are finding out. I have all of DD's clothes.
We are also planning on moving--so if it is a boy, I plan on sorting clothes before we move and either donating or selling them.....
