It also doesn't matter for team finding out!

I've read so many posts saying "I'm having a BABY, no matter what s/he is", well, I'm team finding out but truly I am also having a baby and it also doesn't matter for me what s/he is, the only difference is that I'll know 20 weeks in advance... it's still going to be a surprise, I'll still be with DH sharing the special moment and I will still be crazy in love with my baby boy OR girl, equally!

I guess many of us (finding out) are not even hoping for a boy or girl, we're just wanting to know...am I crazy, or does team green have a misconception of what team finding out means? 

**let the flame war begin :S

You're overthinking it.  We aren't finding out but I couldn't care less what other people decide to do.  Furthermore, why did you even have to start something over this?  It is a non-issue.

I think most of us agree we're having babies. Whether they're human depends on your unique situation, I suppose.

I respect team green, and I was actually leaning towards it myself.  I really wanted to avoid if I was having a daughter for her to be inundated with pink garbage.  I hate the color pink, I never liked princesses, or any other girly stuff (really I can show you pictures of my 2 year old self clad in blue surrounded by pound puppies) and wanted to avoid that kind of thing for my daughter.  As soon as I was pregnant, my in-laws were hoping for a little princess and planning a pink nursery and it felt totally out of control.  

 However, I just wanted to know.  You read about so many things going wrong, I just wanted to make sure that he or she was going to be ok, and if something was say a little odd (yes I know it's only 4% of the population) I wanted to be ready for it. When we found out we were having a son, we were really, really happy.  We're not doing some big gender reveal party or any of that, we just wanted to know.  The best news though was that all of the chromosome problems, and Down's, spinal bifidia we no longer had to worry about. 

With all things wedding, baby, and life related I try to stick to a "to each their own" mentality.

Its a suprise either way. Just depends on how people want to find out there suprise. Im finding out in a few days just because im the type of person who cant wait. As a kid i would sneek a peek at my christmas presents. But maybe Team Green wants the suprise of finding out different then our suprise on the day its born. I really dont think its something you need to create a post about. Its whatever the man and woman who created the baby want to do. No one elses opinions matter.

This.  I don't think I've ever seen a Team Green post that was judging others choice to find out.  Your post, on the other hand, seems to be fishing for drama where there is none.  It's a little sophomoric, IMO.  

I think the only time anyone judges is when people post about being upset at having one sex instead of the one they "really wanted."  

Get over yourself.

We're having babies? You mean this isn't the "I have a food obsession" boards? I thought "the bump" meant my food baby after I eat!

I sometimes wish I could just hug everyone who posts silly rants...I think everyone just needs a hug...and a snickers....or cheeseburger...or milkshake....

Oh come on. What's with all the 'you don't need to post this' posts? Yes, this post wasn't necessary. But guess what, The Bump isn't a necessary concept, and most of the posts here are about food and silly feelings anyway. 

And yes, I've read a few posts over the last days on this board where people were totally judging others for wanting to know the sex of their baby. You know, 'I will love my baby anyway, so I don't get why people want to find out, and I judge them for that.'

Duh. I'll love my baby anyway, I don't really have a preference (apart from the fact that we already have a girls' name and a boys' name will be very difficult). But I want to find out no matter what. I'm just that curious.

Say what now?  This doesn't make any sense at all.  MH and I will find out if our child will "be ok" during the anatomy scan....and guess what?  We'll can find that out without knowing the sex of our child.

The oroblem is that she's stirring up drama and it's annoying.  ALso, I haven't seen any team green people shaming others that want to find out.  Ugh

 I'm not shaming anyone here, I'm just explaining that also people that are finding out don't mind about the baby's sex.... or at least that's what I've gotten from previous posts...

I don't have time to look for all those "I am having a baby, doesn't matte what it is" posts around but there have been many many now that ppl are starting to post "it's a boy", "it's a girl"...

Personally I wanted to go team green this pregnancy and the tech ruined it for me (in a sense) so now we're finding out but I don't shame anyone, I admire your patience but I don't get the pride of having it...

All of this!  Really link up the posts where Team Green people say this.  I'm Team Green and I really don't care what anyone chooses to do.  It doesn't affect me in anyway.  Stop trying to start drama.

The only posts I've seen that say "we aren't finding out because we love our baby anyway" are those referring to testing for ds or other congenital problems. I haven't seen the other ones. I would love to be team green! I think that would be great but I have no ability to delay my gratification that long! Lol! I'm barely able to put up with 20 weeks!!!

Yeah, you are overthinking.

I am Team Finding Out and don't feel misunderstood. I just think there is way too much focus on the sex of the baby on these boards.

Please point out where you have seen this.

As a member of Team Green, I personally don't care what other people choose to do. It's not that serious.

This whole thread is pointless and I now want that snickers and milkshake that was mentioned earlier.

You all are doing exactly what OP wants you to do (Obviously, stir up some drama for her boring life) Ignore her posts and she'll go away.

Yes

 I just sounds like you are upset at someone, but that someone is not here and we all have no idea why you are worked up about it.

The fact that you said to bring on the flaming...means you just want to start drama. 

Fail.
