Baby Sex Speculation Thread

[emilie]

So, I know some of us already know the sex of our little one, some of us are finding out soon, some of us will find out in a couple months, and some of us won't find out until December.  But since most of us don't know yet, let's do a little speculation.  Do you have a feeling that your kid(s) is one or the other?  Do you have a preference?  Do you have a prediction?  Post it here, and once you find out, update to let us know whether you were right!

I am hoping for a boy and a girl. But I have a feeling it's two girls! (Happy either way, of course)

[fikafairy67]

I think mine is a girl, but I don't know if that's because I'm hoping it's a girl!

[Winnifred]

We should know by the end of next week. I've always wanted a girl and I've just had a feeling since about 8 weeks that it is a girl... so I feel like it may be really confusing for a bit if we find out we're actually having a boy. I'm trying to envision myself receiving that news and sharing that it's a boy just so that I'm not completely dumbfounded! LOL

I think that this is me too.
And I've got a girls name stuck in my head. And my best friend is hoping its a girl and already refers to it as she.

There's a lot of oldest girls in my family, and DH has 1 older sister and 2 younger.

ETA the Chinese predictor chart says boy though.

[emilie]

I am not sure, but I've had a few baby dreams lately, and in all of them the baby has been a boy. So I'm going to predict boy for now and I guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

I haven't really had an inclination either way. A lot of the wives tales say girl. We'll likely be doing the bloodwork so we'll know in a few weeks when that gets done. I think we've always leaned towards wanting a boy, little girl toys creep me out.

+1.  If kiddo is a girl she is not getting any girl-geared toys until if and when she explicitly asks for them.  And even then, who knows.  Not too long ago my 7 year old neighbor showed me an app on her mom's iPhone that had a cartoon avatar where you had to wax her legs, put eyeshadow on her, pluck her eyebrows, etc.  Yeah, no.

Ewwww, yeah I'm not down with stuff like that. Legos and hockey are way more my style. Though if it's a girl she can have my American Girl dolls. That's about as girly as I go.

[kaydee0402]

I think girl. Some of the for-fun predictor stuff I've done all says girl. And we already have a boy, so a girl could be fun! And I was a huge girly-girl growing up. I need someone to do Mommy and Me ballet classes with! I did ballet forever and I would love to have a girl that does ballet. It is such a passion for me.

[kaydee0402]

But we're not finding out the gender until my DH gets home from de.plo.y.ment, so I have a long time to wait!

[littlelion]

I'd like a girl since the baby factory is closed after this one. I did have a dream that I had a girl but since last weeks ultrasound I'm leaning towards boy. Very similar head shape as DS! But who knows.

[Lucy]

I really think it's a boy.

[babycowbell]

I FEEL like it's a boy based on nothing in particular but with all my ultrasound expertise I could not see a wiener on the NT scan and the tech wouldn't reveal her guess, so now I'm back to 50/50. My friend showed me her NT scan and it was super obviously a boy, and ours was not like that although our angles weren't ideal.

[wherethelightis]

I'm guessing boy. But I have no reason to back that feeling up.

[WineNChocolate]

I am so different this pregnancy than with Ellie. More nausea and indigestion. I am clueless when I was so sure with ellie and was right. I think it might be a boy..for the difference in the two pregnancies. We will see in 5 weeks. I am doing a early us scan to find out at a US clinic.

[redsoxgirl10]

sdgal the Chinese chart was wrong for my son

My husbands family only makes boys so I think it's a boy ha ha

I did have a dream it was a girl though and in the dream I was like wait, are you sure? How can that be right?

I've got one boy so far and it's been a lot of fun so I'd be happy either way!

[lastnamewithheld]

I think it's a girl simply because I feel like we're more prepared for a boy. (Boy names are set in stone, I keep calling the fetus "he" etc etc)

[littlelion]

The nurse today guessed baby was a girl based on heartbeat. I should start taking wagers. Dh has a cousin who asks us how "Stella" is doing. I'm like who?

[achromia]

I had originally thought that I wanted a boy first, but after all we went through to get pregnant I will be thrilled to just get a healthy baby.

That being said, between our top choice boy and girl names, I keep gravitating toward calling the baby the girl name. DH also thinks girl. But we won't find out until December!

[legalbeagle]

My guess is girl, but I thought DS was a girl until we went to anatomy scan so I'm clearly not very good at guessing. We really wanted a boy so we were excited, but I was so annoyed at my "intuition" being wrong. This pregnancy I am so much sicker and more tired than with DS, but I'm also four years older so there's that. Chinese gender predictor picked boy last time and girl this time. We'll find out in a few weeks I guess with the blood test. So weird that we can find out so soon!

[legalbeagle]

Also slight preference for a girl, but it would be so much easier with clothes/sharing room if Baby 2 is a boy.

[lola]

We really want a girl at some point, so having one now would be great. But obviously we're happy either way.

I just have this feeling that it's a boy, since we really want a girl. And also, the only other grandkid right now is a girl, so I feel like it will be a boy. No rational reason.

[mrsp121308]

I feel like this is a boy. This pregnancy has been SO different than the two with the girls.

Food for thought and spot on for me -- not the separation stuff but how involved my husband is as a parent. I think he is so much more involved because we have a son. I will be interested to see what it will be like if we have a daughter.

[scattered]

Fun thread!! 

I think this is a boy. This is my fourth, and my first was a boy, and my second and third were girls. I feel like I did when I was pregnant with Jack. Like the same intense nausea all in the evenings, the same weird aversions to food/smells. I'm basically dying for a carne asada burrito 24/7. We actually called Jack "pepper" before we knew he was a boy because I craved Mexican food so much.

[Winnifred]

Hi everyone - just wanted to pop back in to say that either my intuition was right or it was just dumb luck, but we just found out that we are having a girl!

yeah, so I was totally wrong.  We got our NIPT results and had a great NT scan this AM and we are having a healthy baby GIRL!  

I know there are a few girls so far... any boys yet in D16?

[littlelion]

emilie the girl club just gets bigger! Congrats on a healthy baby girl!

emilie yaaaaaaaaay!
