Anyone team green the second time around?

Did you find out the sex with #1 but not with #2.
At the end was it a cluster eff trying to get all the things you needed for #2 if it was a different sex than 1??

I'd love to be surprised this time around but I also don't want to be driving everyone crazy having to buy all new clothes and other items

I figured it's not the worst thing in the world. But mommy dearest made it seem that wayChat Icon

i'll just get gender neutral anyway. Plus it's not like the baby needs all these nice outfits. they live in onesies for the most part

I've also been Team Chat Icon all three times and I also wouldn't have it any other way!

Now, my 2nd was the same gender as the first, so I suppose it was somewhat easier; however, she was born in an entirely different season, so we needed all new newborn clothing anyway. We got tons of clothing as gifts for both girls when they were born.

Now, what if this one is a boy? Well, I've already bought some neutral newborn stuff. After that, I am sure folks will buy plenty of boy clothing as gifts. And then beyond that, that's what the internet is for. Or that's what my DH is for...to stay home with the kids while I go shopping!!!

I mean really...what did people do 30 years ago? I'm sure we all weren't going naked back then. Chat Icon

I was team green for both kids.

Drove my sister nuts, but it was what we wanted.

I was team green after having DD. When I registered for DD#1, I was team green, and I registered for all neutral baby gear -- even when I found out it was a girl, I didn't change anything b/c I wanted to still be able to use it for #2. As far as coming home outfit and some clothes for the beginning, I honestly bought both pink and blue and just returned what I didn't need! Chat Icon

We were Team Chat Icon with my DD and when we get pregnant again with #2 we plan on being Team Chat Icon again. I loved not knowing until the bay was born, it was so exciting. Chat Icon

We were team green the second time around. It was the greatest surprise ever and I don't regret it one bit. I'll do the same with our next.

In the last month of my pregnancy, I went to Macy's and bought a few outfits for both sexes. I just returned what I didn't need after the baby was born. All the big stuff was gender neutral. I was going to buy/order bedding after the baby was born but haven't yet and don't think I will. I like his neutral bed.

I am not pregnant, but was Team Chat Icon the 1st time and will be with any future baby. It was the BEST surprise ever and I can't wait for it again.

Re: Anyone team green the second time around?

I found out with DD #1 and now we are expecting twins in March. I really want to be surprised but my family thinks Im nuts. This is going to be it for us so its the last chance to have that big moment. I don't know if its unrealistic for twins though. We are going to need so much stuff.
